Donavan was true to his word.

Donavan was true to his word. We did everything but signing the paperwork over the phone and on the day I showed up he had the vehicle out front and fully fueled up. All the paperwork lined up exactly as we'd described. All in all, I think most everything was done in two phone calls! Evan was also great and did his best to push the financing portion through as quickly as possible.

I loved working with Celia to lease our 2nd Kia Telluride! She found us the perfect car and made the leasing process seamless and easy. I appreciated her knowledge of the features and her time walking me through each one. I had a wonderful experience at Paramount Kia!

Had a great experience with this dealership!

Had a great experience with this dealership! Never thought I'd be able to buy a car that I'd like without a lot more waiting and work. My salesman Jesse and the team got me taken care of and into a car that fit my needs without breaking my bank. Overall wonderful experience and can't thank Jesse and the team enough!

My salesperson, Cody McRary, was excellent on his

My salesperson, Cody McRary, was excellent on his responsiveness, flexibility, and consideration of my circumstances (I'm not a resident of the area). My wife, Maribel, and I truly enjoyed meeting Cody in person and appreciated his "sense of urgency" in trying to complete the sales transaction in a reasonable amount of time due to our commute situation. Separately, my wife and I appreciated that Evan Payne (Finance) didn't try to force/push additional service/extended warranty options to us. Personally, I was impressed by the technology in his office.
