The Automotive Advisor LLC Owner, Joey C. Bouknight. Car Buying Service, Broker. No Extra Fees. New, Pre-Owned, Certified Pre-Owned, Lease, Purchase, Trade. Opened in 2000. No haggling.

Welcome,

At The Automotive Advisor, we work for you, not a dealer. We are uniquely qualified to help you with our expertise, relationships and suppliers. There is no extra charge for our service as we charge a fee to the seller much like a travel agent. We are not just an automotive broker. We advise you as to the reliability, resale and safety of vehicles you may be considering. We can also offer some possibilities you may not have considered. Our service keeps your best interests in mind as opposed to trying to sell you what is on the lot. Our extensive supply network allows us to get you what you want in a short period of time at a price you will be happy with. No going from dealer to dealer, spending hours at each store trying to get the right car at the right price. We can also help you place or sell your trade-in. In short, we make it simple.

We were in a bit of a rush and Joey was able to get us squared away in a great car. He got us the car we wanted, kept it in our budget, there was 0 hassle in picking up the car and he really looked out for us. Overall it was great experience.” Marae and Michael Pittas.

"I had a great experience working with Joey C. Bouknight, The Automotive Advisor LLC.
I bought and sold my car through Joey, and he made the entire process easy and personal.
He was responsive, honest, and genuinely fun to work with. I never felt pressured, and he took the time to understand what I was looking for and make sure everything went smoothly.
Buying or selling a car can be stressful, but Joey made it simple and enjoyable. I’d definitely recommend him and will be working with him again in the future". -Petie Bradley.

"We began looking for a 2025 Lexus RX 350 several months ago online. After spending countless hours researching the market and available retail inventory online without success we decided to call Joey / The Automotive Advisor LLC. We let him know what we were looking for and within less than a week he found the perfect vehicle for us. Joey handled all of the details and our new vehicle was delivered to our driveway within just a couple of days. The process couldn’t have been any easier and the service was fantastic!"
