From the begging our experience was nothing but friendly, comfortable, and at the same time very professional. Jonathan and the rest of the crew there at Bulldog Kia left no question unanswered, and we neve comfortable, and at the same time very professional. Jonathan and the rest of the crew there at Bulldog Kia left no question unanswered, and we never felt rushed. They waited on us several times even after closing time to make sure that we had everything we needed during the car buying process. I have never felt more comfortable with a dealership and would have no problem in telling my friends and family where to go for their next car. We dealt with several dealerships in the beggining. We had a particular car and package in mind when we started. We actually had one dealership tell us that they could not get the car we needed and that nobody else would either. That same day my husband called Bulldog Kia and by that night they called us back to tell us not only had they found the car, but that they would be driving out to pick it up for us the next morning. Now that is what I call service. Thanks guys! Thanks Jonathan! We love our new Kia. More

Remembering the good old days when you walked into a dealership to do business, and the dealership as a team worked together to make a deal that worked for you. Not worrying about how much money they co dealership to do business, and the dealership as a team worked together to make a deal that worked for you. Not worrying about how much money they could make off of you, but instead, making sure of what you wanted to become a reality. I have done business with another dealership in the area for 3 years, not to mention any names. They would nickel and dime you to death, always trying to sell you a payment instead of a vehicle. Yes I bought 3 new KIA's from them, because Gainesville GA. was where I was and worked. While in Athens, I turned into Bulldog KIA just looking and driving through, and a silver 2013 Forte Koup SX caught my eye. I was driving a 2012 KIA Optima EX. I liked the Koup, looked at it, and saw Chris coming as you always do at most dealerships, and I thought, here we go. BUT! To my surprise, the experience was a pleasant turn of events, not the usual feeling of being in the middle of a shark feeding frenzy. Not only did they trade me out of the Optima and into Koup, they also added the options I wanted and my payment went down with no money out of pocket. Really! it is a true story. Way to go Chris. Way to go team Bulldog KIA. More

My wife and I searched online for a Kia dealership near to home and found Bulldog Kia in Atens. As soon as we walked in we were treated with repect and prompt attention by Jonathan Pace. He gave us his ful to home and found Bulldog Kia in Atens. As soon as we walked in we were treated with repect and prompt attention by Jonathan Pace. He gave us his full attention during the time with us and did not seem distracted by other things going on. Although the initial deal did not go as planned as we were trading in one car and buying two, overnight he found a way acceptable to both of us. We recommend asking for Jonathan if you need to buy a new car from Bulldog Kia because he was willing to go the extra mile. More

Robert Harbison was very knowledgeable and helpful. He has continued to be there when I called with questions about my Kia Optima. I would certainly recommend him to anyone looking for a new car. has continued to be there when I called with questions about my Kia Optima.
