My KIA stopped driving after their "tune up". Porterfield Tire in Athens did some routine maintenance on my KIA and it ran a code for a first cylinder misfire. I took it to this dealership, explai Porterfield Tire in Athens did some routine maintenance on my KIA and it ran a code for a first cylinder misfire. I took it to this dealership, explained that it was not running well, and asked if they could help me. They did a tune up (without pulling any codes, I later learned) and called to tell me it was "ready to go". I went to pick it up and it couldn't drive 1 mile. Turns out there are multiple issues, and they sent me home with a check engine light on and did not even check to confirm that the car worked after the repair. Beau admitted that he did not test drive it after the repair or pull any codes prior to the repair. My car stalled in traffic and I was almost hit by another vehicle trying to drive it home. I cannot even drive my car home? 700 dollars later? I got it started again, brought it back and Chris, the service manager, and he promised to make it right. Then he left for a 2 week vacation and did not even contact me. I called again to inquire about my vehicle. Beau finally drove it and when it called me back he said: "This car has a lot of issues. Crankshaft, motor mounts--it'll be thousands. It's not even worth it to fix it." !!? Why didn't they say that in the first place when I took it in to be diagnosed? Who does a routine tune-up on a car with a bad transmission that cannot be driven? As a service manager, I cannot imagine letting a mother of 5 drive home in a car that stalls in highway traffic after a costly repair. I'm just glad we are all ok! More

5 Star Service Andy was absolutely amazing!! His mild mannered personality and comedic wit made me feel completely comfortable and eased my nervousness about purcha Andy was absolutely amazing!! His mild mannered personality and comedic wit made me feel completely comfortable and eased my nervousness about purchasing a car. He was not at all aggressive or pushy, like many of salespeople I have experienced. I highly recommend him as a salesman if you are looking for someone genuine and honest. You can be sure that your needs will be listened to, and that he will not rest until he ensures you are completely satisfied. What a thoroughly enjoyable experience! Thanks Andy! : ) More

Better and better I received a letter regarding vehicle exchange of my 2016 Sorento. I called Bulldog Kia and was transferred to Seth. He explained the process to me an I received a letter regarding vehicle exchange of my 2016 Sorento. I called Bulldog Kia and was transferred to Seth. He explained the process to me and asked what (vehicle) I had in mind. I gave him some options I was interested in having in another Sorento & just like that he had the inventory manager send me pictures of one with EVERYTHING I requested. I told him I’d be there that day to see it in person. I received a call from Andy (sales) later on to let me know he’d be waiting for me. I got there, was greeted by other staff & introduced to Andy. No waiting at all. Everything went so smoothly from the initial call, viewing, test drive, paperwork and follow up. The car had everything and more. Everyone was so nice and accommodating. Andy was awesome. Wasn’t pushy at all and was extremely patient And super knowledgeable. Treated us like family. He and Jason (finance) made everything so easy. I will definitely be back for any future car needs & I recommend bulldog Kia to ANYONE!!! More
