My new Kia forte

I was looking around the car lot just seeing what kind of cars that the Kia had and I really fell in love with the Kia Forte so Cody walked up to me and gave me a really great impression so of course Monday the 19th of August I walked away with a beautiful 2019 Kia Forte Cody McRary and Tim whitener was too amazing sales people they got me what I needed and what I wanted I will never deal with another car lot they showed me everything with my car before I even left the property I was so happy and I couldn't ask for anything else thank you Paramount Kia for having two wonderful Salespeople..

Great experience

Randy is very knowledgeable and personable and I enjoyed purchasing my second vehicle from him. I will recommend all my family and friends to go see him. He tried working on either a used vehicle or new vehicle and let us make the decision with no pressures. Great experience

Great Experience

We went To Paramount Kia Hickory NC on August 16th and worked with Randy Rosenbalm to help find the right car to fit our daughters budget. Randy went above and beyond to help get her a new Kia. Great job Randy! Stephen M.

Great Experience; great purchase.

This place was absolutely stellar. Cody was a real pleasure to work with; he stayed an hour after closing to wait for us, wrapped up the paperwork in less than 30 minutes, and sent us on our way with a great new car. We could not be more pleased with our experience! THANK YOU to the team at Paramount!

Great Service

Cody was an amazing dealer to work with, we never once felt pressured or obligated. He was very patient and answered all our questions. He was the main reason we choose to deal with Paramount Kia. Thank you Cody for a wonderful buying experience!

Sedona Purchase

Cody McRary was an amazing salesman and is the main reason we purchased a 2018 Sedona. He was very helpful and professional from the very first time we met him and throughout the entire process of negotiating the deal and finalizing the purchase. He answered all questions we had and returned response quickly and professionaly. T This was the 6th vehicle we have purchased form the Paramount Group and we will be back again!

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!
