  “Under Promised and OVER DELIVERED”I just purchased a like new vehicle from Johnny at SML Auto, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! Not only did he deliver a fantastic vehicle, but the service was exceptional from start to finish. Johnny went above and beyond to ensure I got exactly what I needed, and what he said he would deliver in the price range I wanted and he made the entire process smooth & stress-free. If you are in the market for a car, and want a very trustworthy salesman who doesn’t add all the extra fees like the dealership, thenI highly recommend you give Johnny a call. You won't be disappointed… He Is THE BEST!!!

  My wife and I used Johnny to buy a used Honda CR-V and he was the absolute best. The process was seamless and he was very communicative with us about each step.He does a great job of researching the cars and proving to his customers that they are in great condition. He worked with us as we threw several curveballs at him and was always positive and eager to help us.I can't imagine buying a car from anyone else moving forward. We will for sure be using Johnny and SML Auto Sales again!

  Highly Recommend SML auto sales. If you want to find the exact car you need within your budget then talk to Johnny at SML auto sales. We put in a request on a Tuesday and got the car we were looking for delivered to our door Saturday. The process was smooth, very thorough and professional ! You can be assured that Johnny works for the customers and will do his best to find what you are looking for. We are very grateful for his work.

  Hard to find anyone you can trust in car sales but any and all friends looking for a new vehicle, I now send to Johnny at SML because he has earned my trust and is clearly knowledgeable when it comes to cars.I saw an ad he had posted on Craigslist & called Johnny immediately. He was able to meet me an hour later & I purchased the car the very next day. It has been running smooth with no issues. Very happy with my decision.Check his Facebook for most up to date inventory. If you are looking for a reliable used car in East Cobb this is the place. Can’t say enough.Thanks Johnny

  I have nothing but the best to say about SML Auto sales or the one man band who runs it Johhny Lee.I had every single used car app on my phone id go to look hatchbacks in my price range they'd either have too high of miles or not be great models for that year and if i did find something it would be sold before i could even see it. All my friends told me to go on facebook marketplace for a good deal and almost every car was a rebuilt title.However I found one of Johhnys listings on facebook for a car that i was interested in but he told me it was already sold but he was an AUTO BROKER he helps people find cars and veichles in your price range straight from the auction. From the second I called him up I knew he was the guy. What separates Johhny from everyone else is he genuinely cares about you and whatever situation you're in. He wants you to get the best bang for your buck and he has the pleasure of being the guy to do that for you. Most auto dealers just wanna upsell you and squeeze every dime they can out of you and most online listings are trying to get rid of some junk. Johhny wants to sell you a clean title veichle with reliability and a high condition rating. He refuses to sell cars with more than two owners he refuses to sell cars that have had a lot of issues in the past depending on the year or model. He will look for whatever car you ask but he has been in the business for over 13 years and knows the in's and outs of whats good and whats not. When you're working with Johhny he works day and night for you always looking at auto listings always keeping you in the loop with whats open very professional and clear communication nice detailed responses making you feel comfortable and reassured NOBODY and I genuinely mean NOBODY is going to work harder for you to get you what you want or make you happy. Whenever I would test what was possible with my budget and what I was looking for it was always a conversation of what could work he would send me options give me all the facts information carfax and auto checks and tell me if I didn't like it to let him know so he could spend time finding the perfect match. Because he can buy straight from the auction he gets the cars for better rates you just have to be ready to hop on a hot deal if you're ready Johhny requires a 2 thousand dollar down payment on the car before buying it from the auction to asure that you are serious about the car and that he's not wasting his time. The first car we tried to buy ended up being a mistake from the auction and shouldn't have been listed on the website I had already put down a 1,000 down payment to Johhny and I was nervous of sending that much money for a car i hadn't seen yet. Johhny constantly assured me that my money was safe and if the deal didn't go through OR if his own mechanics inspection didn't go through I would get my down payment back. When the deal didn't go through on the first car I still let him hold onto the first down payment because I knew he was someone I could trust. When you put your faith in Johnny he repays it. After the first car didn't work out because the dealership forgot to take the car off of the auction after someone else bought it Johhny sent me 3 awesome cars options with great milage and said what all the possibilities and likely hood were of getting each car we ended up focusing on what we would most likely be able to grab which was a 2019 Kia soul with 63k miles on it the exact car I had been looking for all along. We placed our bid and we ended up winning getting the car for 3 grand cheaper then you would at a dealership. Johhny picked me up himself to drive to the auction and test drive the car on the way back to his office. Johhny has his mechanic inspect the car before selling it to make sure everything is perfect. I cant thank Johhny enough and there truly is nobody better you can work with to get the car of your dreams.

  The Ultimate Car Buying Experience with Johnny at SML Auto Sales ?????We all know the drill - buying a car can be as stressful as a root canal. With today's supply chain madness, getting a good deal feels like a pipe dream. Ten buyers, ten prices, and a mountain of haggling. It's exhausting, right?1) Enter Johnny, My Car-Buying Hero!That's where my story with Johnny at SML Auto Sales turns the table on the entire ordeal. I was caught in a bind—needing a car for my elderly parents in Georgia while I'm across the country in California. They're not up for the dealership dance, especially after dad's recent accident. I needed a champ, someone to fight in our corner and keep the sharks at bay.2) Detailed Profiles of Cars for Quality and Low RiskJohnny ensures you're getting a high-quality vehicle. He presented us with comprehensive, detailed profiles of cars. Three rounds of inspections by pros, and paperwork? Handled. Title transfer, registration, shipping—all covered.It's a level of detail that's simply unheard of at a regular dealership.3) Communication KingNo smoke and mirrors here. Johnny's straightforward explanations and regular updates, complete with videos and pictures, kept us in the loop at every turn. His communication is as clear as a sunny day.Even after the car was snug in my parents' garage, he checked in to ensure everything was peachy.4) Beyond Local LotsOur car came from Florida, not Georgia. Johnny's got access to inventory that stretches way beyond your backyard. And shipping? He snagged us a rate that left us smiling, with a top-notch driver to boot.5) Transparency & SpeedJohnny wrapped up the entire purchasing process in under two weeks — during the holiday season, no less! No hidden tricks, no last-minute curveballs. Johnny laid out the options, clear as day, always gunning for the best deal for us.My Recommendation ?✨?✨?✨If you're in the market for a car, do yourself a favor and contact Johnny at SML Auto Sales. It's a decision that could redefine what it means to buy a car for you, just as it did for me.I'm done with the traditional car buying headaches. Johnny's not just a broker; he's a game-changer in the car buying process. Trust me, you'll want to tell everyone about him too.

  My van died so I was reduced to arranging rides with friends, using Lyft and/or renting cars.It was inconvenient and expensive.Shopping for a used car was even more frustrating.Either I would find a car that I liked but it was only available to buy online so I could not examine or test drive it before buying or I would find one at the dealership, make an appointment to see the vehicle but when I arrived, the salesman would say it was sold, out being used as a loaner or there was a problem with the vehicle.While browsing online, I came across the SML Auto Sales Facebook page and decided to call.From the minute Johnny answered the phone, he was exuberant, informative and personable.I told him the type of SUV I was looking for and what I was willing to pay.He explained how he shops for vehicles in the same manner as dealers do by searching a national database, purchasing the desired vehicles at auction and then having them shipped.Almost immediately, Johnny was able to locate the exact year, make and color SUV with the features I wanted. He requested a small down payment, to ensure that I was serious, but Johnny uses his own money for the bulk of the vehicle purchase.I was suspicious, as the process seem too easy and Johnny seemed too nice..... like the typical used car salesman but I needed a vehicle and SML Auto had numerous positive reviews so I decided to take the chance.As I did not have a vehicle and SUV was to be sold the next morning, I attempted to use Zelle to send Johnny my down payment. Unfortunately, the bank flagged the transaction as a possible fraud and froze my account so we were not able to get that SUV.I rented a vehicle so I could address my frozen bank account and then I delivered my down paymentto Johnny, in person.We spoke at length and I found Johnny to be a compassionate person who actually, REALLY cares about his customers. He understands the plight of the hard working everyday person and how essential it is to have a RELIABLE vehicle.In the time that followed, Johnny searched day AND night looking for another vehicle that fit my criteria. Johnny communicated with me everyday. He said that if HE paid someone money/deposit, he would expect updates every day so that is how HE treats his customers.CONTRARY to the many shady, dishonest used-car dealers and inaccurate Carfax reports, Johnny knows the pitfalls of the used car market and is more interested in doing the right thing and having a happy customer than just making another sale.Johnny did find my SUV.The vehicle was inspected on three separate occasions, Johnny test drove it and also had the emissions inspection done.I picked it up last week and I am happy to be independent and mobile again.Do yourself a favor. Save yourself time, money and aggravation.If you're shopping for a used vehicle but you're not liking what you see,call SML Auto Sales and speak with Johnny Lee.Tell him the Queen sent you... he'll get a kick out of that!

  I was a little hesitant about the services that Johnny/SML Auto Sales was selling, but I read reviews and decided to go with it. I had been searching for a used car for weeks and was not finding what I was wanting. I am glad I took a chance on Johhny/ SML Auto Sales. The process was so easy and quick. I emailed Johnny what I was looking for, the next day he sent me some options, I selected one, and it went through the inspections. Johnny kept me updated on the whole process (I was in a different state) by sending me texts, videos, and pictures. His continuous communication definitely made me feel more at ease. I received my car, and it is everything I was looking for! I am very happy that I went with Johnny/ SML Auto Sales and will definitely use him again.

  We have a car that needed repairs, and we were quoted $4500. He asked if we still like the car, which we do, so instead of trying to sell us a car, he diredted us to his preferred mechanic who fixed the car perfectly (and did more than the original quote) for about half the price we were quoted. Johnny cares about doing the right thing above making a sale.

  I had a very good experience using johnny as our auto broker. He kept us up to date with all of the proceedings and was straight up with the condition of the car. I would definitely recommend him to others looking to purchase a good used vehicle for a good price.

  We just completed the purchase of a used suv from SML Auto Sales and we just couldn’t be happier. Johnny, who owns the company, worked with us personally thru every step. He is a broker, so he doesn’t have the overhead of a physical dealership. He works with the same big auto auctions that used car dealers, carmax, etc do but doesn’t charge the same “handling” type of fees. We were pleasantly amazed at what we got for our money. He also worked out the finance aspect (our credit wasn’t stellar after COVID related setbacks) and filed all the final paperwork for us. All we did was pay and drive away. We’ll pick up our tags in a couple of days but that’s it.We have no vested interest in recommending him other than sharing a very positive experience. I hate car shopping and dealing with sales people and all their tactics, so this was a wonderful surprise. I chose him totally based on his reviews and he didn’t let us down. We will definitely get our next car from him…and our next….

  My first time purchasing a vehicle with Johnny and at first I was very unsure,but he reassure me that the car I was looking for would be no problem with him finding it.I would recommend him to anyone,very professional and detail.

  Johnny is the most dedicated dealer guy that I have known. I have been to a handful of big and small dealers and all they want to do is to sell me the cars, and sometimes I find that so annoying. But you will never feel the same when you work with Johnny. He is quick, knowledgable, truly caring. Not only he found a nice car in my budget, he made sure there is no mechanical issue. He drove the car on its own to make sure it drives nicely, etc. He communicated very clearly about the cost, car status, conditions, process,..everything in advance before making the deal. So no surprise expense.I swear you will be happy if you work with Johnny. I will definitely recommend him to my friends and family if someone needs a car.
