Very good experience

A very good experience dealing with Michael and Daryl...very professional and respectful. Even though I live in Columbia, South Carolina, if I ever need a vehicle I will definitely make the drive out to your dealership.

Thank you for sharing your feedback! It is very important to our dealership that we earn the trust of our guests by following through with our promises and providing hassle-free service. Sincerely, Dave Estes | destes@paramountauto.com

Very knowledgeable about his job!

I actually started out with a new sales man named Erick and ended up with Michael! Erick went out his way, in the pouring rain to get a couple of kia Sorrento's so I could test drive and show me the features! That was really kind of him! Michael was very knowledgeable in many ways to help me understand about the warranty and all the special features of my new vehicle I was purchasing! I would highly recommend friends, family members and strangers to go see Mr. Michael when looking for a Kia or whatever! Lol!

Kia sportage

This is my second time buying a car at paramount and this experience was much better. David Hoover was very personable and knowledgeable about the car. I was only there start to finish for 2 hours which was a good deal for me. Thanks again

Amazing and Helpful

Randy is AWESOME!!!! He will go above and beyond to help you find and get the car you need or want. He is very knowledgeable about the Kia cars , he answered all my questions and delivered on his promises. Reliability and Honesty is a very big deal to me and I can say he surpassed and went above and beyond on those two things. When I choose to trade again I will definitely be going back to Paramount Kia, you cannot find a better place for service, sales and dependability.

Justin roepels review

I came thinking just getting info on the ‘18 stinger. A test drive sure, but knowing I wanted to treat myself I leaned to buying. It wasn’t pressured, or anything else many salesmen do . Just helping is why I went for it. Great car .

2018 Kia Sportage

Chris Gallegos was absolutely excellent. he went above and to make sure our experience was as close to perfect as possible. He spent a lot of his time digging deep and using every single resource at his displosal to get us set up with the best deal possible. He was so pleasant and so customer oriented. In 16 years of buying cars this was the single best experience I’ve ever had. I would recommend him and this dealership to anyone I know in the market for something new OR used.

Extremely helpful giving my situation

My situation is my husband and I separated and he took my car. Michael went above and beyond to get me in a car. He took his time and was very patient. I felt I had no hope in getting a car and he gave me hope and was very encouraging. I ended up leaving with a brand new Kia Optima and I couldn't be happier. I highly recommend Michael to anyone looking for a new car.

The experience was flawless and painless. My sales associate Chris Gallegos was easy to work with and got me everything I needed. He went over all the features of the vehicle and made buying a car very simple.
