Christian run dealership!

When my wife and I walked into the showroom we felt a peace due to the Christian music playing. It was good to know that God had led us to this particular dealer. Our salesman Justin Roepel was very courteous at offering coffee or water. He is also very knowledgeable of his product. He worked with us on what we wanted and found the perfect Serento for our needs. I will refer him & Paramount Kia to anyone who asks me. Thank you Justin. Please thank all who were involved with this task and it was great to talk to someone from our home state(Calif). God bless you with our future.

Thanks for your help and hospitality

Very nice friendly staff at Paramount Kia (this review being done for my dad). He was very happy with his purchase and will probably purchase several more in the Hickory Kia location.

Great Deal ...fast and easy process... This had to be the easy buying experience ever. I would definitely recommend Paramount Kia to friends and family. Kudos to Carlton for having things pretty much in order when I arrived.

Happy

My husband and I came in on Saturday 9/17/16. We came in our 2013 Kia Soul, which we loved, and we left in our 2016 Kia Soul! You see we loved our car and we were happy to keep it. But after meeting Matt Angle, and he was such a pleasure, we decided, lets do this! And we were definatly not an easy case to work on. But Matt, he hung in there with us and he, along with Tim Crowder, made it happen! Thank you guys so much! We Love our car!! And we could not have done it without you!

Excellent Experience

The salesman was wonderful and very informative. He wasn't pushy or rude like the previous dealerships I had been to, and that was one of the biggest reasons I chose to buy a Kia.

My awesome experience at Paramount Kia of Hickory

I was turned down by multiple dealerships before I went to paramount of hickory. They told me I was a approved before I went to the dealership and I didn't believe it because I was told that same thing with previous dealerships. But paramount gave me their word that I would leave driving a brand new car and that's exactly what happened!! The people there were extremely friendly and helpful. 5 star experience all around!!

An absolute thrill

This is a great place to buy a vehicle. My salesman Justin Roepel was just wonderful to talk to and I couldn't of asked for a better experience in buying a vehicle. He was super nice and very knowledgeable about the vehicle. I felt no pressure at any time during the buying process and he went above and beyond to help me get the car I was hoping to get. I highly recommended this dealership and if you go, ask for Justin. He is what other salesmen SHOULD be. Postitve attitude,always smiling and an overall wonderful person to deal with. Thank you Justin!! You have earned a customer for life.
