Personable and honest. Anthony Parton was great to work with. I really felt that he did everything in his power to arrange a good deal for me. He was honest and he conveyed Anthony Parton was great to work with. I really felt that he did everything in his power to arrange a good deal for me. He was honest and he conveyed the impression that he was doing his level best to get me the absolute most for my money. I didn't find him smarmy or pushy at all. He didn't crowd me or oversell me in any way. Nice job, Anthony! Jordan Ogle was good, but I think partially by virtue of being the "finance man" his position is a bit more adversarial in nature. I found him polite and professional, but I didn't get the same "I'm on your side" feeling that Anthony gave me. He began by presenting many premium options that would have resulted in a higher monthly payment than I would have been comfortable with. In other words, I felt that he began by trying to upsell me on premium options and warranties. At one point, I got upset and he did a good job starting over and resolving a potential conflict. He was professional and we reached an agreement, I just wish that the conversation had been framed a bit differently from the get-go in terms of "Here are some premium options that you may be interested in." I got the first impression of "We can't reach that number that was discussed earlier." There are two reasons that I did not give five stars on "Customer Service" and "Quality of Work." I was surprised to find no spare tire with the new car. Perhaps it's par for the course these days or maybe I'm just old fashioned, but the fix-a-flat kit that came in the trunk space that was clearly made for a traditional spare tire just doesn't give me a great feeling. I brought this concern up with Anthony and he claimed that he could get me a proper spare from a trade-in. He asked me to call him the week after my purchase and he'd arrange to get me a new one. I did, and he claimed that he had no spare and jack that he could give me. I called a few days later and I am hearing the same. I now have the impression that this was something said at sales time that was easily overlooked post sale. I'll probably end up shelling out some cash to get a spare and a jack from a third party or a junkyard. That was a promise that - if followed through on - would have really impressed me. Second, it's a minor thing, but the car was a 2019 model that I was purchasing in late August 2019, so it wasn't freshly washed when I test drove it. That's fine, but Anthony assured me that it would be before I drove it off the lot if purchased. Don't get me wrong, there were no major issues or paint chips or damage or anything, but the wash of the car was a bit lacking in my opinion. There were spots where there were bits of glue or sap perhaps. I felt it needed a wash after I drove it off the lot to get that kind of showroom clean. I know it's not a high-end sports car, but I take pride in my possessions. To me, these minor details are the difference between a rating of "Good" and "Excellent." I'd definitely recommend this dealership. Overall, they're easy to work with and they offer a quality product at a reasonable price. I'd buy from Paramount Kia again. More
