Great experience at Paramount Kia

David Hoover and Paramount Kia made my search for a 2020 Telluride quick and easy. They found me the exact car I wanted and in less than 48 hours it was mine!! Mr. Hoover is a kind, honest salesman who doesn't waste your time. I highly recommend David Hoover and Paramount Kia of Hickory. I drove 4.5 hours to buy a car there when there is a Kia dealership 3 miles from my house!!

Purchase Experience

This was our best purchase experience to date. In my opinion the staff lived up to their promise to provide a honest and hassle free buying experience. Our sales consultant, Tim Whitener, was very professional, patient, and honest throughout the experience. We did a lot of Internet research before visiting Paramount, and knew mostly what we wanted. Tim knew his product, and took the time to show us several vehicles and explain the features of each. At no time did I feel any pressure to purchase before we were ready. ( a first for me in car buying) Also Evan Payne, Finance Manager, took the time to explain all options, and allowed us time to decide what worked best for us. Again, no pressure to pick a certain option. Just an honest straightforward approach by everyone involved. We started looking at new, but ended up finding a used vehicle that worked for us.

2019 Kia Forte S

It was a great experience going to Paramount Kia. Cody McRary was my salesmen and he was very helpful and knowledgeable about the vehicles on the lot. I felt like he was trying to help and not just trying to sell a car. I will buy my next car from there.

Exceptional sales and finance staff. Very attentive!

David Hoover in sales and Colton in finance rocked it out for me and got me into a 2019 Sorento! They worked miracles for me! Thank you!

Cody McRary is great... goes above and beyond

Cody McRary went out of his way with everything. He is very friendly and answered every question. If he did not know the answer he would find someone that did. Would tell anyone that is looking to buy a Kia to talk with Cody!! Also worked with Evan Payne with finance, he was also a great guy to work with.

Great experience!

This was the best car buying experience I have ever had. Cody and Colton were so kind and helpful. I felt like they were honest and wanted to help me. And I got a great deal and Cody worked hard to make it happen. I highly recommend them.

Amazing

Jacques was wonderful to work with and we had an amazing experience buying our 2016 kia sorrento. Excellent service from both Jacques and Colton in making the deal we wanted and enjoying our experience at the same time! We are so happy with our choice and appreciate the exceptional service we received.

Thank you, Alex Huff

Once again I have to thank Alex Huff for his excellent service. We bought a vehicle from him last year. Since then, he's always been available to answer questions or address any concerns I may have had. Just this morning he smoothed over an issue I was having with the service department. Great guy.

Very Pleasing Experience

Cody McRary was very knowledgeable and assisted me more than competently in selecting a vehicle for purchase. He went well above what was expected of me, even going insofar as to drive me to Wells Fargo to obtain a cashier's check. He assisted me very well during the negotiation process, and we ended up lowering the stated price of the car quite a bit. He provided chargers for phones, if necessary, and he was overall very amicable.
