The dealership was very well put together, everyone was very friendly and welcoming. Celia was absolutely awesome, she made my experience great. I was nervous at first because this was a pretty big purchase, but she made me feel calm and confident in my decision.

Jim Whitener spent important time teaching me the fine

Jim Whitener spent important time teaching me the fine points of automobile leasing. With his help and encouragement, I was able to make an informed decision to lease a new Kia K5 sedan. It's a great car and I'll go back to Paramount next time.

I should note I work for the dealership network but

I should note I work for the dealership network but purchased from the KIA dealership because they had the car I was interested in. I dealt with Jess Powell for my vehicle purchase. Jesse addressed all my concerns for getting the deal done. The finance manager fought to get me the best finance rate I could get in the high interest market we are currently in. I would highly recommend Jesse Powell for your next vehicle purchase for whatever you require I know JP will try his best to get what he can done. Ask for JP on your next Kia dealership purchase!

Peter was very knowledgeable about all of the vehicles I

Peter was very knowledgeable about all of the vehicles I inquired about. I was quite impressed. I think a great quality for a sales person to have is the ability to get a potential buyer excited about the products being sold. Peter definitely demonstrated this and I have to say that his positive energy fed directly into my ultimate decision, resulting in a perfect fit. I am extremely happy with my purchase and can't rate Peter high enough! He was very attentive to my needs, educated on the vehicles he was selling and made it very clear that he would be available for any needed follow-ups. Thank you!
