Awesome experience at Kia

My experience at Paramount Kia in hickory was great, never thought I would buy new car until I had the Opportunity To work with Michael Blackwood. He treated me like family and would recommend anybody to Mike Blackwood to Buy a Kia, new or used

2018 Kia Soul

This was the best experience I have ever had when buying a car. The entire staff was friendly. Chris seemed to know what I wanted before I even said much and found the best car for me. This was stress free and I actually had fun. He made the process so easy.

Patrick was also great too for making the signing super quick! I am in love with my new car to say the least! Paramount Kia in Hickory is awesome!

Great Experience with Mr. Blackwood!

We were impressed with the level of service we got from the dealership. Never did we feel pressured at all. We were treated nicely and all questions answered. Everyone was friendly and helpful. Everything was straightforward. I didn't feel as though any tricks or tactics were being used, as sometimes are in car sales. I have bought several cars. This experience was the best by far.

Randy was great in helping us with our new car.

This was my second time purchasing a Kia Soul from Paramount. Randy Rosenbalm was very professional and also very down to earth in assisting us with this purchase. We would recommend Randy to everyone ready to purchase a Kia.

Tim Whitener

Tim was so great about helping me. He knew what I was looking for and made sure to find it for me. It took almost a year but he was always looking out for me. I recommend him to everyone.
