Our Reviews
I have purchased 2 vehicles from Bulldog Kia I have always received top notch customer service. The service goes beyond the purchase of the vehicle. I’ve always had my vehicles serviced here as well. I always use Beau Wegmann as my service advisor and he is great! It is always a pleasure doing business with him. He is professional, friendly, knowledgeable and always makes sure all my questions and concerns are answered. It is always nice to walk into a place of business that has so many customers and have them know who you are! Thanks again Beau!
2021 Kia Seltos engine problems -car towed to Bulldog Kia 07-29-2025 but as of 08-21-25 service department will not return calls to us the customer-nor will they communicate with Kia Technical after three attempts to secure updates on repair of my car. Very sad customer service.
We have purchased 2 new Kia’s from here - working with Cesar has always been a hassle free experience. Would recommend working with him!!
Joel worked hard to get my business. He’s honest, direct, and a hard working young man. Go get your new car from Joel at Bulldog KIA.
Very Disappointing Experience – Poor Service and Communication I recently had a terrible experience at Bulldog Kia. I purchased four new tires from them, and while they were installed correctly, things quickly went downhill from there. After the installation, I was told they couldn’t balance the tires because their lift was broken. I was assured they’d follow up the next week once it was fixed, so I made an appointment. When I returned for the follow-up, I was told the lift was still broken. No apologies, just an attempt to reschedule. I agreed to come back a third time, this time also for a service recall, hoping everything would finally be sorted out. After hours of waiting for the recall to be completed, I was informed yet again that the lift was still broken. This was beyond frustrating. I attempted to contact the manager and left them a voicemail, but my call was never returned. At this point, I decided I was done. I took my car elsewhere to get the tires balanced, and I’ll never do business with this dealership again. Terrible communication, no accountability, and just an all-around waste of time. Avoid this place if you value your time and expect basic customer service.
Great to work with! Friendly staff. Quick with offers & paperwork. Work hard to get you in your price range.
Extremely pleased with my buying experience at Bulldog Kia! Joshua Bell was a fantastic salesman from start to finish. He was very professional, knowledgeable, and helpful while keeping great contact and answering any questions I had. He made the purchase extra special for my teenage daughter who was getting this car coming off an accident and went the extra mile to make sure she was surprised. Patrick, also in the sales department, was very kind and helpful as well. I had previously used Kia for service with great results and will now also gladly buy another car here one day! I would also highly recommend this dealership to anyone looking for a vehicle. Thank you Josh for the phenomenal work…we love our Sorento!
Exceptionally professional, patient, and up front about everything. My husband worked with Joe and Mike to get my parents a great deal on a lease. They made it all very seamless for them, went above and beyond to make them feel at ease and comfortable with the process. Thank you so much for making this a great experience for my elderly parents!
Great Salesman and an even better person. He was awesome through the whole process and always smiling. Very welcoming
Called and scheduled a Kia recall appointment. I was quite specific as to which recall my vehicle qualified for. After driving 30 minutes to get there, I was told that the part was not available. Told to call Parts in several days to confirm that the part was in. Totally unsatisfactory — why did I bother to schedule the appointment when the part was not in stock?
Maurey made my car buying experience quick and easy. I drove off with the car I wanted!
Very professional staff. Joel was great. Steve was very helpful and professional. Top notch service!
Kudos to James for the easiest, most seamless vehicle purchase I’ve ever made. Personal and professional from start to quick finish!
James Montalvo made this my best car buying experience ever. I traveled from Atlanta to purchase my 2025 K5 and the trip was well worth it I got the highest discount, the best trade-in value and the exact car and options I wantedBulldog was the only dealership in Georgia willing to put the deal together over the phone and by text. When we closed the deal in person, the numbers were exactly as we had discussed. In fact, they paid me more for my trade! Add me to the list of very satisfied Bulldog customers. On a personal note, James is a class act. His integrity and good nature are immediately apparent. It was a pleasure meeting you James!
They were very patient with me and what I was looking for. They made sure that what they found was what I needed and fit my budget.
