Worth the trip I recently bought a car from Paramount Hyundai. I live about 200 miles away. After inquiring about the car on an internet website, I was contacted by I recently bought a car from Paramount Hyundai. I live about 200 miles away. After inquiring about the car on an internet website, I was contacted by Michael Connell. Michael was very pleasant and incredibly helpful. Due to my work schedule it was difficult to reach other over the phone at times but Michael was patient and flexible. In a few days we worked out a deal on a vehicle and I drove to the dealership to pick up the vehicle. The car was perfect, better than I had hoped it would be, Michael had all the paper work completed so I pretty much signed some documentation and was done. The folks at Paramount even loaded the car on the trailer for me. It was a great, no hassle experience. I bought a beautiful car and saved thousands, literally thousands. I’ll definitely look to them for cars in the future. More

My husband finally agreed that I really must be serious about wanting a Mustang. Recently we set out for Paramount Ford in Valdese to look at a pre-owned one we’d seen online. I spoke to Michael Connell about wanting a Mustang. Recently we set out for Paramount Ford in Valdese to look at a pre-owned one we’d seen online. I spoke to Michael Connell earlier in the week and was impressed by his friendly voice and demeanor during our telephone conversations. We arrived at the dealership earlier than expected. If he was busy on another project he didn’t show it and was fully ready to give us his complete time and attention from the moment we walked on the lot. We looked at a few different models but gravitated to a pretty little 2012 black convertible and took it for a test drive. During this time my husband wanted to be “sold” on why we should buy this particular car. Michael did not use any type of “slick” or “high pressure” tactics – which I very much appreciated. His manner is to be low-key, to answer any questions, and let the car sell itself – which it did. Once we made our decision Michael helped us with all the necessary paperwork and transfers. We also worked with Scott McKinney in Paramount’s finance department to explore various payment options – again without feeling uneasy about sales pitches. And Travis – who answered the phone - also was very helpful when I called a few weeks later with a follow-up question. Our experience with the Paramount Ford team in Valdese was very good and we certainly recommend them. Plus it’s a very pretty drive up Hwy. 16 to I-40 and not too far from the Charlotte area. More

Yesterday, we came to Paramount Ford Hyundai for the fourth time, to purchase a new vehicle. Throughout the years my husband and I have done business with Paramount and its associates, we have always go fourth time, to purchase a new vehicle. Throughout the years my husband and I have done business with Paramount and its associates, we have always gone away feeling satisfied with our purchase! The vehicles are great quality, and the service department is easy to use. The sales associates (specifically Michael Connell in our example) are friendly and efficient. He took the time to explain any questions we had about our new vehicle. Our experience with Scott McKinney in financing was easy, yet thorough. We left feeling confident that all our questions had been answered - and we were totally satisfied with our purchase. We highly recommend this dealership and WILL continue doing business with them!
