Could not be happier with my Kia Forte! I needed a car quickly and something that was affordable! Jac was amazing and a pleasure throughout the experience! If I ever need a new car again, jac is the man to talk to and Kia is the place to be!

Great service!

A friend recommended Paramount Kia and specifically Randy Rosenbalm. He was very helpful. By asking a few simple questions, he saved me a lot of money. The only reason I didn’t give a 5 star review is because it took entirely too long. But thanks Randy. I love my car!

2018 Ford F-150

I was unsure of what type of vehicle I wanted. After a conversation with Chris Gallegos, who was extremely polite, professional, and well versed on the subject, I learned about an awesome F-150 Lariat. The truck fit my needs well and I couldn't be more pleased!
