Very pleasant experience purchasing a vehicke

I greatly recommend the Paramount Kia dealership to anyone that is considering purchasing a Kia vehicle. Even if you are not considerina a Kia, you would be wise to stop by and explore this vehicle brand as part of your car buying decision. Not only are these high quality and attractively priced vehicles and have a very comprehensive and generous warranty package, but I was very impressed with the professionalism and the way that I was treated my David Hoover, the sales person who I purchased my vehicle from. The process of buying a vehicle can often be problematic, but I’m happy to say that this was far from my experience. Paramount Kia and David far exceeded my expectations. Thank you to the Paramount Kia team for a job well done! Jim Escuder
