While looking for a new vehicle, we were referred to Michael Connell at Paramount Ford by a friend - and he definitely lived up to the glowing recommendation. During the entire process, from locating th Michael Connell at Paramount Ford by a friend - and he definitely lived up to the glowing recommendation. During the entire process, from locating the exact vehicle we were looking for to the signing of the papers, he was very accommodating (never pushy) and always went above and beyond to answer any questions we had. A few days after purchasing the vehicle, it unfortunately had to go back in for service. Even though Michael’s part of the purchase was complete, he took the time to keep up with the status of our vehicle and was quick to provide updates. Would definitely work with Michael, and Paramount again. More

Fast, Friendly and stress free I have purchased from Paramount Ford Hyundai for over 10 years and have received the same friendly and stress free experience every time. That is one I have purchased from Paramount Ford Hyundai for over 10 years and have received the same friendly and stress free experience every time. That is one of the main reasons I come back. The other main reason is the salesman I always deal with knows when to reach out to me to let me know when new incentives are being offered or when they have a great used vehicle on the lot that would suit my needs. Thank you Michael Connell! More

Excellent customer service and top notch sales staff. I can't say enough about Michael Connell and Brent Buff and the staff at Paramount Ford. This is my 2nd vehicle I have purchased new from Paramount. I can't say enough about Michael Connell and Brent Buff and the staff at Paramount Ford. This is my 2nd vehicle I have purchased new from Paramount. My 1st being a 2017 Expedition 4x4 and the 2nd being a 2020 F 350 Lariat 4x4 Crewcab longbed truck. I had looked online at their inventory of trucks recently and inquired at the availability of the new F350 4x4 Lariat and it wasn't no time that Michael contacted me by phone to speak with me personally. So- after a road trip that Saturday afternoon to check the truck over in person I decided then it was the truck for us. I like how nice it is to negotiate pricing with the sales staff. There's no pressure from the sales staff. Brent and Michael made sure that every opportunity was made available to me from Ford rebates and local financing. Their number one goal is putting the customer first and it's shown and appreciated. It's definitely worth the 70 mile drive for us to visit Michael and Brent at Paramount and I would certainly advise my friends to check out Paramount Ford for their next vehicle purchase. Each purchase has been a great experience for us. More
