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, an 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

I went in looking to lease one of the Kia Optima or Forte which were on special $189, however after taxes, fees etc. were added my credit score did not permit the lease with out a sizable down payment which which were on special $189, however after taxes, fees etc. were added my credit score did not permit the lease with out a sizable down payment which I could not do. James Montalvo and James Hammond suggested a low mileage used car still under warranty. I looked at a 2011 Kia Forte, however, I have always been skeptical of used cars and I wanted my son to look at it and see what he thought, so they told me to drive it home and let him check it out. He was concerned about my safety in the smaller car as I have always driven mid sized and heavier cars. I took it back the next day and they had a 2012 Chevy Creuz with less miles so they allowed me to bring in home overnight for my son to see, he was much happier with the size and build of the Chevy. I noticed a place on the driver side rocker panel where the paint is peeling badly when I took it back I pointed that out to them and they said it was not a problem they would sand it and repaint it at no charge. I purchased the car that day and am scheduled to take it back for the paint repair next week.. The customer service at Kia was great. Everyone was very helpful and did everything they could to get the monthly as low as possible since I am retired and my only income is Social Security. I know it will be tight but with the help of God I will make it. More

I would definitely recommend Kia Bulldog dealership to family and friends. James greeted us as we entered, and was very professional in helping us find just the right car within our price range. He showed family and friends. James greeted us as we entered, and was very professional in helping us find just the right car within our price range. He showed me how to work all the features of the vehicle and I might add with much patience, as I am not the most "tech savvy" person. Everyone at the dealership was very customer service oriented, and it really was a pleasure to do business with Kia Bulldog. More

He never left left us waiting and wondering, the whole time we were there he kept us informed of what was gong on and how long it customer service. He never left left us waiting and wondering, the whole time we were there he kept us informed of what was gong on and how long it would take. James and the Bulldog Kia staff worked very hard to get us in the car we wanted with the price range we could afford. We would recommend everyone to buy their vehicles though Bulldog KIa and we would let them know of the great service James provided. Thank You More
