Finding a used car, on a budget is certainly not an easy task. So we quickly turned to the management team of Paramount Automotive. I was appreciative of the team at Paramount for working with me to find a task. So we quickly turned to the management team of Paramount Automotive. I was appreciative of the team at Paramount for working with me to find a car within our budget that we felt good about purchasing! The team was patient as we looked across all of their rooftops to find exactly what we needed. I never felt pressure, instead each person I interacted with took a list of our must haves, and must nots, then shared with us what fit based on what we were searching for. This was a relief! We left with the car we wanted, at a price we felt good about. I also loved that each car had a free Carfax that we could view online as we researched our options. Amber- Thank you for your patience and insight as we were assessing our final choices. We appreciate the time and care that you put into helping us find exactly what we wanted. Chris & Kerrie, Thank you for the prompt attention and no hassle close of the deal! More

After dealing with always seems to be a stressful adventure when you do. Not here. Matt Church and the staff made this a seem less and easy process. After dealing with other dealerships and sales people earlier that day, when I arrived at Paramount Hyundai all the stress left and within just a short amount of time we had the perfect vehicle. No haggling, no time wasting, just good simple service. The way it should be. As a first time car buyer at this dealership, I would not ask for a better experience. Matt Church, Chris Pridgen, and Karrie Powell are top in my book. If you want a vehicle in the right environment, dealing with the right people, go see Matt Church and the staff at Paramount Hyundai. You will not be disappointed! More
