Perfect dealership

My husband and I have bought 6 vehicles from paramount. Today we was able to trade two different vehicles with nothing down, and our payments are about what we wanted. We really didn't expect to trade. Nick Thomas was great and Andy our Financial advisor was helpful.

Very Helpful

Going in, I was very skeptical about the deal I went in for. All the salesmen were helpful and continued to say I.t was right. After a couple hours, I walked away with a car I love! Great first car experience!!

Excellent Customer Service

The sales experience with Gary Fesmire was awesome! He is a very knowledgeable and likeable person who made the sales process very easy. After the sale, I appreciate him also taking the time to show me all the "bells and whistles" on my 2015 Kia Sorento. I would totally recommend Paramount Kia of Hickory and be sure to ask for Gary!

2017 Kia Sportage

I went to Kia in Hickory on 12/4/17 and bought a 2017 Kia sportage AWD. I had heard good things about Kia from others so I decided to give them a try. I dealt with Chris G. (Salesman) and Patrick (Finance) they were absolutely great!!! They took the time to explain everything to me, answered all my questions and walked me through the process with ease. I've never felt comfortable with salesman before, that has now changed all thanks to Chris and Patrick. I do recommend Kia in Hickory to anyone needing a car!!! I will be a return customer.
