Fun place to watch the game. Multiple bars with good selection on this particular night. Huge screen but there were connection issues for the first 15 mins or so, after which picture and sound was crystal.

Staff were mostly nice except for all the confusion over tubes after we paid. We were told at least 4 times there was a party of 250 coming in an hour. Other than this oversight, the river itself is very pleasant and an easy ride.

Hands down the BEST place I have ever taken my car to be worked on. In fact, I don't trust my old, mileage-heavy Honda anywhere else. Terry, Sue, Steve and Jamie are all honest and personable and have always been upfront and open with me in what needed to be done, how much it would cost, and how long it would take. I no longer even shop around for prices because they are fair, and always back their work. Steve is very knowledgeable and can almost always diagnose the problem just by me explaining it before he even looks at the car. I know my Honda is always in good hands here!

Big Dog's is great. I had to bring my car to check with a/c problems, which they reviewed with me. They fixed the problem quickly and precisely. It had to do with the compressor leaking, along with the drier. I had thought that I needed refrigerant, but they showed me that I didn't and saved me for it. I have been to a few others in the area and these guys are head and shoulders above them in how open and friendly they are. I was very surprised by the honesty of the staff, who actually went out of their way to save me money. I spoke with both Sue and Terry, and they went out of their way to speak with me about the costs, and ran through the details with precision. They encourage bringing in other quotes from other auto shops. If I have to write a downside it would be the parking lot. It was pretty small due to the large number of cars there, but they brought the car to the front for me once I had called them and told them I was coming in. I don't believe that you can beat service like this. I didn't believe auto businesses were as honest as these guys were, and they have certainly earned a high rating from me.

I have been in twice now for new tires and for suspension work. They do quality work quickly and at a good price. I thought work replacing my torsion bar would be a lot more expensive. Another shop gave me a much more pricey assessment for the job, but Big Dog's took care of me. They even gave me a ride home when I dropped it off.

I had to have extensive work done on my engine. I didn't crack a head, but there was a gap along the inside allowing fluids to mix. They could have just told me that I needed new heads, but they didn't do that. They had the gap filled and the heads refinished which saved me a lot of money. Terry and Steve did a great job. I appreciate it guys!

We used Big Dawgs for both our rehearsal dinner and for our wedding transportation! Terry was amazing to work with! The Cabana was the perfect spot for our rehearsal! The buses for our guests and the Princess for leaving the reception were great, people are still talking about it! I can not say enough good things about Big Dawgs!

Thanks for plugging the hole in my daughter's tire. She is a student at UGA and said you all were very helpful and nice. I'm glad to know you're near her if she ever has car trouble again!

I just dropped my Toyota Prius off this morning with the owner Terry. I asked for new tires, an oil change and my brake pads replaced. Terry called a few minutes later and let me know my pads were fine and did not need service. He explained that due to my driving being mostly highway, my brakes were not worn. I have a phobia of getting my cars serviced, usually get maintenance plans and sell car at the end of their warranty, but the trust I have in Terry and Big Dawgs makes me want to hang on to my cars. I have used Big Dawgs for years and they have always displayed this kind of integrity and honesty. You can't go wrong here.

Terry always a friendly and helpful guy. River is also a calm place to go rafting. Nice and easy going trip. Also a great venue for outdoor parties in the summertime.
