I actually had just previously left the Honda dealership and did not stay 5 minutes tops. The prices were over marked for my budget. So, I decided to check Kia out and what do you know, I'm a Kia owner for the first time. They offered me more than a Honda dealership and CarMax both. They made me an offer that was within my range and I decided to give the Kia a shot. I drive a lot of miles and was in the market for something with lesser miles and better on fuel would be a bonus. The heated seat was also another big issue for me. The sales man James Montalvo was very nice and helpful. He never made me feel pressured to purchase the vehicle. All he ask for is a chance to make me an offer. I understand why this dealership is the top Kia dealership in the nation. They are a top notch group of people. What else I enjoyed about the dealership is the fact, I got to hear Christian music while we waited on the paper work. The finance man was extremely helpful and nice. I can't say enough great things about this dealership. For the record, they did not give me anything extra for the comments. I personally wanted someone else to hear how I was treated and hopes that they may consider this dealership if they are in the market for a new or used vehicle. More

H The dealership was great and made the experience of buying a car very easy. James Montalvo made the biggest difference in the car buying experience. He had to wait several times while I took calls from work and was very patient. He went above and beyond what I have ever known in salesmen. I will send as much business to this dealership as I possibly can. Thanks again for a great experience. More

My experience at Bulldog Kia could not have been better. This dealership is rumored to be one of the best in the area from their service to their pricing.

I visited the website, clicked on the live chat, and asked a few questions. About twenty minutes later I received a call from the pleasant Sam Rivera. I made an appointment to visit over the weekend. Some car dealerships have kind of a bad reputation and I believe the employees at Bulldog Kia of Athens are making great strides to change that! When I walked in I was introduced to James Montalvo who is bright, energetic, courteous, and knowledgeable. I did not expect to find what I was looking for on my first venture and certainly not at the price I wanted... But... I sure did! So thank you to everyone who helped make my very first car-buying experience memorable and pleasant. I'm so happy about my purchase and am looking forward to sporting my new ride! If I hear of ANYONE who wants to buy a Kia I'm sending them your way! More
