Schedule ServiceDoing Business the Right Way Since 1953
Kia Country of Savannah is part of the Lee Motor Group, a family-owned automotive group with roots going back seven decades. The history below reflects the full journey of the Lee family from a single struggling Ford dealership in small-town North Carolina to a multi-state group of dealerships serving hundreds of thousands of customers.
- 1946 - James (Jim) Lee worked at a Ford plant in Norfolk, VA after finishing his service in the Navy during World War II. Over the next few years, he also worked for small car dealers in Northeastern North Carolina, gaining experience.

Kia Country of Savannah Serves All of Coastal Georgia
Our dealership on Abercorn Street sits at the center of a region that stretches from the Georgia coast inland to communities like Rincon and Statesboro, and south across the state line into the South Carolina Lowcountry. Savannah is our home base, but drivers from Pooler, Richmond Hill, Garden City, Port Wentworth, and Hinesville make up a significant part of the families we work with every week.
Being a Kia dealership in Savannah, GA means understanding the specific needs of drivers in this part of the country. Coastal Georgia summers are long and hard on vehicles. Salt air from the coast, high humidity, and year-round warm temperatures create service demands that our technicians are experienced in addressing. We stock inventory that reflects what Savannah-area buyers are actually looking for, and our service team is trained on the maintenance considerations that matter most in this climate.
We also recognize that many of our customers are stationed at or connected to Fort Stewart, Hunter Army Airfield, and the surrounding military community. We work with military buyers and lessees regularly and are familiar with the programs and timelines that apply to active-duty service members shopping for a vehicle.
