All i can say is Tim totally blew the typical salesman stereotype out the window. He was like more of a informed and concerned friend. If we had a question and he didn't know the answer, he didn't fake it stereotype out the window. He was like more of a informed and concerned friend. If we had a question and he didn't know the answer, he didn't fake it, we went and found it. Never pushed a sale whatsoever. After we test drove our car I opted to go home and think about it, and his response was no problem. He just wanted us to be happy. We did however go back and look him up, and I cannot say enough as to how hard he worked to help us out. Always friendly, never passing us off to someone else. Stayed with us the entire time. Even called a few days later to see if we needed anything. And all we told him when we went back was where our payments needed to be and what we had for down payment. Didnt even haggle price and wow were we suprised as to the deal he worked out for us. All I can say in closing is I was so impressed with Tim I would take my mother to him if she needed a car since I know how kind and respectfull he is. Thank you Tim and everyone at Paramount Kia for such a wonderfull experence. More

I went to Paramount Kia thinking I was wasting my time because there was no way I was going to be able to afford this vehicle. I was wrong. Dave Estes, Tim Whitener, and Jim Moir were all great to work because there was no way I was going to be able to afford this vehicle. I was wrong. Dave Estes, Tim Whitener, and Jim Moir were all great to work with and made me a much better deal than I ever expected with no hassle. It was the most pleasant experience I have ever had when purchasing a vehicle. I would highly recommend this dealership to anyone looking to purchase a vehicle and it's the first place I plan to look when it's time to buy my next vehicle. More
