I am very pleased with the used 2010 Nissan Titan LE that I purchased on 3/27/13. My salesmen, Michael Connell was very helpful though out the process and was able to answer any questions I had about the tru I purchased on 3/27/13. My salesmen, Michael Connell was very helpful though out the process and was able to answer any questions I had about the truck. The truck was very clean and Michael was honest about everything with it, no hidden surprises. Actually the vehicle was much more than I had expected from what I saw viewing the photos on their web site. It is nice to know there is a dealer, salesman, and sales manager that are willing to go the extra mile to help the customer! Thanks again, VERY PLEASED Tim Berry More

We were looking for a used 2012 or 2013 Hyundai Accent. We looked at many other places and on the internet. We found a white 2012 at this dealership with only 24000 miles.

It was certified and the price was better than any we found at other dealerships. Most of the work was completed through email and phone calls during the day so when we arrived it was a short process. All employees were very helpful and friendly. I highly recommend this dealership for anyone looking to stay on your budget and buy a quality vehicle. More

My wife and I recently purchased a 2013 Ford Fusion from Paramount Ford-Hyundai. We are extremely pleased with our new vehicle and with the way we were treated by everyone there. Michael Connell and Allen P Paramount Ford-Hyundai. We are extremely pleased with our new vehicle and with the way we were treated by everyone there. Michael Connell and Allen Pruett treated us like family. Michael took the time to explain the features of the car. My wife had driven from work and I had driven from home leaving us with three vehicles at the dealership. Michael even helped us get our extra vehicle home. Paramount Ford-Hyundai isn't new to us as we have our service work done there, however this was our first experience with the sales staff. We would like to thank Michael for all the time he spent with us and both he and Allen for making us feel at home! Jim and Beverly Smith More

I was lied to at this dealership. They lied about my credit score, because they wanted us to trade in our other car to get a better rate. When I bought my first car here 3 weeks after the papers were si credit score, because they wanted us to trade in our other car to get a better rate. When I bought my first car here 3 weeks after the papers were signed they called to tell us the bank kicked out the loan. After researching further this time searching for a new car I decided to do research on picking a car dealer. Also my first car purchased did not have a used car service done. The truck was extremely low on oil, the motor was knocking. They tried to make it right with 3 free oil changes, I should have gotten a warranty but they said they don't do that! Will never return!

THis is the third vehicle I have bought from this dealership. THey have changed their name since the first one I bought in 1999, but the same great service has been provided for each transaction. I dealership. THey have changed their name since the first one I bought in 1999, but the same great service has been provided for each transaction. I have dealt with Michael Connell for the last two purchases I've made. He has gone above and beyond what one would expect from a salesperson. I run a small home daycare and run 1st and 2nd shift. My time is valuable and I'm not always available to come in to the dealership. When that happens he was always available to come to me. After dealing with him the first time 6 years ago I've told several people how he brought me the car, financed the car and even stood outside with my daycare kids while they played so I could review and sign the contract. He also brought the tag over on his day off and put it on the vehicle for me. So when I had to start looking for another Expedition for my business He was the 1st person I called. THis time was just as painless as before and my husband was even involved in this trade and he was pleased as well. More

i havent had any "work done yet" so i have not formed an opinon on those two items. But, as far as other... i had been searching for a new car for about 6 months from a lot of dearlerships and the formed an opinon on those two items. But, as far as other... i had been searching for a new car for about 6 months from a lot of dearlerships and the folks at paramout in valdese,nc were by far the nicest, non pressuring, best deal that i got. They tried to give me every thing that i needed in a new car, and they came through for me. They explained everything i needed to know about the carsince, i was not familiar with all of the options.I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a car,new or used. I came in contact,at other places, with a lot of pushy,not very nice salespeople and the folks at Paramount were none of these. It made the purchase very non-stressable. More

I'm also one of those people who spent an incredible amount of time researching vehicles, prices, safety ratings, and the value of my current automobile as a trade-in. I finally narrowed the choices dow amount of time researching vehicles, prices, safety ratings, and the value of my current automobile as a trade-in. I finally narrowed the choices down to two SUVs. The reviews on Hyundai's Vera Cruz were positive, but I'd owned a Toyota in the past and was moving in that direction. With low expectations (and armed with all my internet research), I agreed to visit the Paramount dealership in Valdese. I can not say enough positive things about the experience. They pair you with a salesperson prior to arrival. Michael Connell was there to greet me and it was wonderful not being overwhelmed by a swarm of salespeople. He was professional, friendly, knowledgeable and informative. There was absolutely no pressure. Instead of wanting to bolt for the door, I was quite comfortable asking even the most difficult questions. When listing all the positives and negatives, purchasing the Hyundai Vera Cruz was my best choice. I truly believe my visit to Valdese is what made me seriously consider the Hyundai. Anyone looking to buy should at least check out this dealership for a friendly, informative, and hassle free experience. Thank you Michael and Allen Pruett (business manager) for making this purchase a pleasant and satisfying experience. Peggy H More
