Excellent service. Nice talking with you Cathy Stephens. I have been a long time Kia owner. You all were great to work with especially, salesman Tim Whitener. You were t Nice talking with you Cathy Stephens. I have been a long time Kia owner. You all were great to work with especially, salesman Tim Whitener. You were transparent and honest. I looked at two used cars and settled on a new optima as I felt the price was fair in comparison. Thanks to Daryl for helping find my car in Winston Salem. Cathy as mentioned, my son worked with you all for maybe ten years and he always spoke highly of your sales and service team. You have a great quality product at a reasonable and affordably price. I typically keep my cars so buying new was the right answer for me. Thanks to all and give my best to Benny and Nick. Just an excellent experience and will recommend you to my friends and family. PS last year I ( Martin Starnes) did the drawing for the United Way give away.. On behalf of the United Way, thanks for your awesome support. That tells a lot about the character of your awesome dealership. God Bless, Frank More

The best dealership I ever worked with This dealership in hickory has been the best to work with first car I traded in I was upside down from a buy here pay here in hickory! They got me out This dealership in hickory has been the best to work with first car I traded in I was upside down from a buy here pay here in hickory! They got me out of that mess! Then a year later we bought two more cars! No problems at all, now I just bought my 4 Kia yesterday because I need a car I told Tim whitener what I wanted he had it there in no time! The service department and parts department are out standing they get you in a out when it comes to service, they have even let me use the courtesy car to run errands when I need too! The parts department helped me out on a temp key when I lost my keys, instead of making me buy a fob they said a regular key can work and cut me a key for a few bucks, anyway you can a will get a good deal here I always have for the past 3 years! It’s sad they don’t sell trucks! By Kia but all they have some great deals! So if you looking to buy a car check them out you won’t be disappointed More

Outstanding Experience I was in a car accident and the day before I had to return the rental I went to Paramount and was blessed from beginning to end. This was my second ti I was in a car accident and the day before I had to return the rental I went to Paramount and was blessed from beginning to end. This was my second time buying a car from here.

Purchase Experience This was our best purchase experience to date. In my opinion the staff lived up to their promise to provide a honest and hassle free buying experienc This was our best purchase experience to date. In my opinion the staff lived up to their promise to provide a honest and hassle free buying experience. Our sales consultant, Tim Whitener, was very professional, patient, and honest throughout the experience. We did a lot of Internet research before visiting Paramount, and knew mostly what we wanted. Tim knew his product, and took the time to show us several vehicles and explain the features of each. At no time did I feel any pressure to purchase before we were ready. ( a first for me in car buying) Also Evan Payne, Finance Manager, took the time to explain all options, and allowed us time to decide what worked best for us. Again, no pressure to pick a certain option. Just an honest straightforward approach by everyone involved. We started looking at new, but ended up finding a used vehicle that worked for us. More

Fantastic! Awesome! Tim Whitener and all the staff @ Paramount are always friendly and are like family. We went that day with the intentions of trading my husbands vehic Tim Whitener and all the staff @ Paramount are always friendly and are like family. We went that day with the intentions of trading my husbands vehicle and ended up trading both our vehicles. While husband was finishing his deal - I was just walking around looking. Thanks to a little nudge from "The Car Guy-Randy". I have always wanted a Kia Soul - so while I was registering for their monthly drawing - Randy and I were looking @ the Kia Soul GT Turbo they had in the show room. Needless to say they hooked me up with a test drive that Tim and I went on and I was hooked. Thus we worked out the deal and I traded in my vehicle (another Kia) and got the financing thru SECU and now I am the proud and happy owner of a 2020 Kia Soul GT Turbo (Inferno Red in color). I just love it and it's great on gas! Thanks to the best dealership around. I wouldn't deal or trade with anyone else. They go above and beyond. To top that off - I ended up being a prize winner @ the end of the month as well. More
