There were others of course. Capital Chevrolet would have been one of them I'm sure. There was also a dealership around 12th & Lamar or thereabouts that famously lost a lot of cars in the 1981 Memorial Day flood. A bunch of brand new cars washed into the creek.

There was a Buick dealership somewhere near where the Monarch is. Is that the one you were thinking of?
I bought my first car at Capital Chevrolet around 1980. Downtown and "near town" weren't very exciting then. I can't think of anything in Austin that was exciting then, although it was a nice city overall. It was very clean and green, and well maintained.
