The sales team at Bulldog Kia is truly an outstanding staff, and salesman James (who assisted me in purchasing my Kia Sportage SX-Prestige) is a gifted and remarkable salesman. His intricate knowledge (and detail) of the Kia Sportage SX-Prestige was the decision in me purchasing the Kia Sportage SX-Prestige, thank you, James. And Bethany articulation and precision in explaining the various optional financing packages brought comfort and ease in my selected financing. To the entire staff at Kia Bulldog, I honorably applaud you all for your professionalism and dedication.

I wouldn't let these people service my bicycle. Between 4 trips of back and forth they charged me almost $2,000 and said the issue was fixed. Never was. I had to keep going back and they still didn't fix it. More

Hi Don, we received your review over the weekend and are highly concerned over the issues you are experiencing. I am not able to find an account for a Don Burroughs that was serviced here recently and don't have record of that name for anyone who serviced here with multiple trips. Is it possible the account is under a different name or that it is a different dealership you had this experience at? Also, we noticed that the employees you reviewed were the Sales Department and not the Service Department. Are you meaning to review the Sales team for a Service issue? We look forward to hearing back from you!
