Paramount Kia of Asheville

An excellent car buying experience. The folks at Paramount on Tunnel Road are a class act. I recommend them to anyone that needs a vehicle. Paramount on Tunnel Road are a class act. I recommend them to anyone that needs a vehicle. More

We shopped for cars at several different dealers-Jeep, Toyota, Ford, etc.- and there was more than one that we would have been happy with but getting John Keefe as our salesman when we got to Paramount Ki Toyota, Ford, etc.- and there was more than one that we would have been happy with but getting John Keefe as our salesman when we got to Paramount Kia was what swayed us to buy from them. I'm not any easy sell but he was very patient and answered my questions repeatedly! He even introduced us to the manager who had personal experience with the model we were looking at. After two Saturdays of seeing us there, the deal was made. We are very happy with our 2011 Sportage T-GDI. More

We came to Paramount to investigate a replacement car for my wife's 13-year old Jetta. We planned on also visiting Honda (FIT), Toyota (Ters), Ford (Fiesta), etc. , but changed our minds due mostly to the f my wife's 13-year old Jetta. We planned on also visiting Honda (FIT), Toyota (Ters), Ford (Fiesta), etc. , but changed our minds due mostly to the friendly and courteous manner of Nat and Arron. Nat brought no pressure to our experience, explained about the Soul and Forte with great patience and clarity. and provided frank answers when we asked. My wife fell in love with the red Soul and it was up to me to do the rest. I researched several Websites including Edmunds and found the Soul every bit as well rated as my 2011 Sportage. We went back and forth on price and in the end I was satisfied with our bargain. I would both recommend and visit Paramont again for buying a new car, and will continue to return for service. Thanks Nat for a great buying experience. More

When me and my husband got to the dealership We was pulling in and seen a jeep Grand Cherokee limited edition. We both was like now that is a nice vehicle. Dan had seen us pulling in and had keys in his hand, he said I think i have found you exactly what you are looking for. My husband said, what about that jeep cherokee over there. Dan said that is what i was going to show you. :) Well he knew exactly what we was looking for and made it happen. Dan O was great. Could not ask for a more friendlier nicer salesman. Thanks Dan We love the Car. More

By far the Best dealership I have ever been too. Dan Ornato was Great. His personality went above and beyond all my expectations. He not only gave me a great Price on my used vechicle, but he made sure Ornato was Great. His personality went above and beyond all my expectations. He not only gave me a great Price on my used vechicle, but he made sure I got the Best interest rate as well, working and being overly devoted to his job, got me in exactly what I wanted!!!!! Not only did Dan do an outstanding job; Doug and Brandon, were just as friendly and outgoing, both with friendliness and making sure I got ONLY the best deal. I would say I am a very happy customer and will recommend to all my friends and co-workers their dealership!!! I cannot express my gratitude any more than I have done so. The entire "Crew" was OUTSTANDING!!!!!!!! :) :) :) More

I loved all the experience I had with Paramount Motors. The sales people were friendly when we drove up to the door, the sales manager courteous and respectful. But our best experience was with our own sal The sales people were friendly when we drove up to the door, the sales manager courteous and respectful. But our best experience was with our own salesman, Nathan Nunn. He was informative, knew the vehicle, took the time to explain all the intricacies, and was always prompt with responses to any of my questions. On top of this, no one was pushy! That's important to me. Thanks for a fun car buying experience. More

My husband and I traded in our '05 Spectra we had purchased in AZ for a new Sorento. To start with, we went to the Mazda dealership and Nissan to compare and nothing can possibly compare to the Sore purchased in AZ for a new Sorento. To start with, we went to the Mazda dealership and Nissan to compare and nothing can possibly compare to the Sorento. Our Spectra was the reason we wanted another Kia to begin with. The Sorento is the largest, safest, most efficient, most attractive car in it's class; add in the fact that it's thousands less than any other it's comparable to and it's a winner. A very very smart buy. We got the AWD which also can be 4WD which we didn't know until test driving it and it also has a "sport-matic transmission" that is downright fun. It has all the bells and whistles we wanted w/o anything ridiculously extra. We love this car and know it'll last a very very long time. Alan Cole was our salesperson and he was very friendly, not slimy or snake-like at all; a "real" person. We checked out Nissans after coming here and although I'm sure he would have like us to stay and buy then we didn't feel pressured to stay and free to leave to shop elsewhere. Sure enough though, we came back at about 5:30 (half hour before they closed) and he was more than happy to help us. We ended up trading in our Spectra but in the long run it was for the best. We stayed until almost 8:00pm and felt bad about it but everyone was so nice and truly made us feel comfortable which was where the Sales Mgr Aaron came in. Alan and Aaron said they would fill up the tank then but as the service dept was closed the car couldn't be detailed so we came back that Monday to get it detailed (beautiful job) and have the gas tank topped off again. We were on our lunch break doing this and at first we were told the service dept may be taking their lunch as well since no one was able to be located. Aaron made sure someone was found and assured us we would be out of there by 1:15. At 12:50 our car was done. Meanwhile, Alan made sure to touch base with us and see how everything was going as well as Aaron speaking with us on a very friendly (very welcomed) level where we felt we weren't just customers or numbers or that now that they had our money we didn't matter. Quite the opposite actually. We have a co-worker who is interested in purchasing a Kia and prior to writing this my husband and I made sure to tell the co-worker to come here as opposed to the dealership on Tunnel Road. We will definitely be taking our car here for any servicing and oil changes (only $18.88!). I really can't determine if we were more impressed with Aaron and Alan or the car itself. This was a wonderful experience we walked away feeling really good about and confident we made the smartest decision. More
