My Dream Car

Being a first time car buyer it seemed as if I would have had trouble finding the right car. When I first pulled in to Paramount Kia I was greeted by Nick and was so pleased with the way I was treated during my vechicle purchase. He helped me throughout the entire process from beginning to end and made me feel comfortable in trusting Paramount Kia with what I was getting.They take care of you like family and I can say being able to drive my car everyday makes me feel like a million bucks! The deal that was presented to me was unbeatable and I can’t thank Nick enough for my purchase!

Great people with great deals

Talked to salesperson Nick when I was considering purchasing a new vehicle! He was willing to help and answer any questions my family had. The next time I'm ready to buy a vehicle I will be paying him another visit!!
