Karrie was absolutely wonderful!

Karrie was absolutely wonderful! She was very prompt with replying to emails, and once we were in person, she was very professional, helpful, patient, and friendly throughout the whole process. She did a fabulous job explaining all the features and controls of the car, which we have not gotten at other companies. We appreciate Karrie and Ryan's efforts to find a price that we were happy with, and though the Paramount location was very impressive with the many options and facilities they offer. 10/10 would recommend.

JD, Thank you so much for your kind words, and for taking the time to leave us this wonderful feedback! Ryan and our team appreciate you being a loyal customer!

Karrie is the epitome of an ambassador for Genesis of

Karrie is the epitome of an ambassador for Genesis of Hickory, and, indeed, Genesis corporation in total. The following supports my opinion: 1. She greeted us in a professional yet friendly manner. 2. She is extremely knowledgeable of the QV series that we were interested in. I cannot speak about her knowledge of other cars, but she was 4.0 with what we were looking at. 3. MOST IMPORTANTLY: When talking business with ys, she continually engaged my wife as well as me. I cannot overemphasize how important that is except to say we have walked away from several almost closed deals because the sales person failed to make eye contact or otherwise engage my wife...my partner in the deal. 4. Karrie always returned my calls when I had questions. As fr as the dealership goes. The premises were clean, modern, comfortable, and had a wide variety of vehicles on site.

I recently purchased a Kia Sportage with the exceptional

I recently purchased a Kia Sportage with the exceptional assistance of Tanner. From our initial phone conversation, Tanner's commitment to customer service was evident. He was respectful, patient, and always ready to answer my questions. What set Tanner apart was his genuine approach to sales. He never pressured me with upselling tactics, focusing instead on understanding my needs and ensuring the Kia Sportage I chose was the right fit for me. Even after the purchase, Tanner continued to provide excellent support, making sure my car met my expectations and ran smoothly. He is a rare find in the car sales industry, driven by integrity and a commitment to customer respect. I highly recommend working with Tanner for a stress-free and enjoyable car-buying experience. If I am looking for another Kia, I will definitely ask for Tanner.
