About Us

In 1975, Steve Austin founded Austin's San Jose Vacuum. He originated the store at San Jose Square Shopping Center where it remains to this day. After celebrating 33 years of sales and service Mr. Austin passed on his life's work to a long time friend and business associate, Derek Lane. With the knowledge that Mr. Lane had a passion for the vacuum business and over 25 years experience he retired with a confidence that his life's work would not only continue but grow.

Mr. Lane brings experience, dedication, and a desire to excel to San Jose Vacuum. For twenty years he served at Norman's Vacuum Supply on Cassat Avenue.

His dedication and commitment to providing quality service and appropriate sales led him to attend conventions, seminars, and training weekends within the vacuum industry. This desire to be the best has set him apart and given him a background of solid experience.

As a native of Jacksonville he is excited about the opportunities owning such an established business brings. He and his wife of over 15 years are delighted to have a family business in the town where they have chosen to raise their three beautiful girls. This love of Jacksonville is the drive behind his commitment and integrity within the community.

We are looking to open "Oceanway Vacuum" as a satellite store to serve the Oceanway & Fernandina/Yulee area in the coming months!

"I am blessed and honored to have my own family business in the Jacksonville area. My goal is to serve my customers and my community in a way that strengthens our economy and encourages others to get involved, buy local, and support our community."
