Our Mission | Bulldog Kia in Athens, GA
Bulldog Kia exists to make car buying stress-free for Athens and Northeast Georgia, from a UGA student’s first car to a growing family’s next SUV, while giving back to the Classic City we love. We’ll see ya at Bulldog Kia!
Classic City born, Bulldog proud
Bulldog Kia is at 4305 Atlanta Highway in Athens, on the Oconee County side of town between the Georgia Square area and Bogart. We are part of Butler Auto Group, led by brothers Marsh and Morris Butler, who are proud University of Georgia alumni. When we joined the Butler family in September 2024, we became the group’s first Kia store and its 15th dealership.
We proudly serve Kia drivers in Athens, Watkinsville, Bogart, Oconee County, Winder, Jefferson, Commerce, Monroe, Madison, Danielsville and across Northeast Georgia.
