Great Service, Will be back for the next car Bucky was great to work with, down to earth, and not pushy at all. I expected that they would have another option for me once the car I like online wa Bucky was great to work with, down to earth, and not pushy at all. I expected that they would have another option for me once the car I like online was sold. I appreciated his sincere demeanor while explaining my available options. Odie was also great to work with and really helpful when it came time to make the final purchase. His and Bucky's earnestness gave me a lot of confidence in the dealership. Josh was very efficient with paperwork. Overall, I had a great experience and I will be back. More

Awesome dealership. If your wanting to buy a new Kia this is the place to buy it. I have bought 3 Kia's here so far and will buy another if I ever trade again. The staff If your wanting to buy a new Kia this is the place to buy it. I have bought 3 Kia's here so far and will buy another if I ever trade again. The staff at Paramount Kia is awesome. They help you in all sorts of ways. I have to say after 3 vehicles this is the best place to do business. If you want a good sales person look up Nathan McKee and tell him that Gerald Barnett sent you. More

Kudos to Team Paramount! Wasn't sure if I wanted to buy out the lease on "Pearlina" - my wonderful Kia Soul -, buy a new one, or go elsewhere, but Bucky sat with me & patientl Wasn't sure if I wanted to buy out the lease on "Pearlina" - my wonderful Kia Soul -, buy a new one, or go elsewhere, but Bucky sat with me & patiently went over all alternatives, He was honest & did not pressure me,. I had seen his name, along with Jordan's, in a review on another website so asked for them. They did not disappoint! Caroline in Customer Service & Assistant Maria were also very helpful & supportive. I highly recommend you consider a Kia - it's a reliable & maintenance free car - & that you go see these folks @ Paramount. More

Third Purchase - Awesome Service! I came over to have a recall done on my car, and since I got there early I decided to just drive around the lot and see what they had. Red is my favor I came over to have a recall done on my car, and since I got there early I decided to just drive around the lot and see what they had. Red is my favorite color, and I saw a red KIA Sorento sitting there, all lonely. I had no intentions of trading, but I had always wanted a red Sorrento, but red was not a color either of the two years that I bought the Sorrento's that I had. Bucky Bates told me they would make me a deal and that I should look at it. I had really great car payments, lower than most, and told him that, and told him that I had no intentions of trading and raising my car payment. Let me tell you what, he got Aaron, one of the GMs to come in and help to make sure that they got my payments where they needed to be. Aaron sold me my first KIA 11 years ago, and he also talked to me when I came back five years later and bought my second one (from Andrew Newhouse-awesome guy too!). After 11 years Aaron remembered red was my favorite color and that I wanted a red one both times and didn't end up getting one. Aaron was determined for me to have this car, and he worked out an awesome deal for me. Bucky Bates, Aaron, and the rest of the team at KIA worked hard to get the payments as low as the ones I had. Again, this is my third KIA Sorento purchased from this same dealership, and I have been happy every time. They have stayed until 10 at night on my second purchase, they had Aaron and Bucky Bates working on this third purchase to meet the payment I could afford, and upgraded to a better Sorento. My car came in on a truck three days later, so they gave me a loaner identical to mine to drive till it came in. When I went to pick it up, Odie showed me all the "SMART CAR" Bluetooth stuff, how it worked, which app to download and how to work it all after I downloaded things. He set up my phone (all these things were different from my car). Like I mentioned, going from a regular car with a back up screen and Bluetooth to a Smart Car with so many capabilities was an upgrade. I have always been pleased with this dealership and their staff, going above and beyond and put it in the extra effort to make sure I'm happy with my purchase and I feel good about the choice that I've made in a car purchase. I'm a repeat customer that will be back again because they care, they put effort into their customers, sales and their staff step up! Thanks Bucky and Aaron! I love my PASSION RED KIA Sorento!!! Thanks Paramount KIA! More
