Great experience

Very smooth easy process...3rd car we have gotten from here. Will continue to go here for all the family's car needs. Salesmen are always educated and not pushy.

Friendly service

Chris was extremely helpful, we went in thinking we would not be able to get a car and we left with two. He listened to all of our wants and our price and met all of them as well as anyone could have. We are very happy.

Great experience

My experience was good. I would have like better if they would have told me how much my payment was before I signed all the paperwork. I love my car

First Time Buyer

My experience with Paramount Kia was long and stressful but only because I'm a first time buyer and I had my 1 yr old with me. But, even with all the stress Michael Blackwood was so helpful and patient. I have not met another sales person with such a positive attitude. I would like to thank everyone I dealt with at Paramount Kia. I am proud of my choice and so thankful for all the help!

2018 Kia Stinger

Randy Rosenbalm was extremely knowledgable about the new Kia Stinger. He worked also helping us to best understand the lease option vs. purchase. We didn't feel any sales pressure at any time during our buying experience. Great job, Randy. Thanks for all your help. This was our 4th Kia purchased at the Hickory location.

2018 Hyundai Elantra

Great buying experience! Chris Gallegoes is an amazing salesman ...doesn't tell you the impossible to sell you a car but goes out of his way to accommodate you! He also doesn't leave you with a bunch of bells and whistles that you are clueless on how to use! Highly recommend Chris and Paramount!
