Tim Whitener Tim patiently let us explore options, answered questions, but DID NOT HOUND US TO DEATH. Seriously, some dealerships are so persistent that it takes Tim patiently let us explore options, answered questions, but DID NOT HOUND US TO DEATH. Seriously, some dealerships are so persistent that it takes away any job of buying. Tim followed up, but without harassing us. The Optima won us over, as did the cleanliness of the dealership, the service department, and Tim. Tim got the job done. We will recommend Tim to friends and will definitely be looking for him when lease is up More

A Tale of Two Tims I have been a long-time customer of this dealership. When it came time to change vehicles, I decided on a lease this time. Tim Whitener was very pat I have been a long-time customer of this dealership. When it came time to change vehicles, I decided on a lease this time. Tim Whitener was very patient with me in giving me pertinent information on the lease program that was being offered, since I had never leased before. He brought me the vehicle that I was considering to sit in and see if I was comfortable in it and I liked it very much. At my request, he gave me price points for 10K, 12K and 15K miles per year. I asked him to give me about ten minutes to decide, which he graciously did. I chose the option was right for me. He then took me to Tim C's office to do the paperwork. As kind and as courteous as Tim W was, Tim C in Finance was not very personable. Even when I attempted chit-chat, he was very aloof. Good thing was, my paperwork was done quickly. He explained the forms well enough but he seems to be all business and not very affable. But, all in all, a good experience thanks to Tim W. Thank you so much. More

New Car Purchase- zero hassle First time purchasing a vehicle without a co-signer and was completely thrilled with the over all experience. Purchasing the exact vehicle I wanted wi First time purchasing a vehicle without a co-signer and was completely thrilled with the over all experience. Purchasing the exact vehicle I wanted with particular options was a breeze. If you are with the hassle of car buying at a traditional dealership, I would definitely give the Paramount family a try. They are there to help you every step of the way without the pressure of buying a vehicle same day. More

Tim Whitener went out of his way to help us in any and every way he could but he was not pushy like most dealers. My husband and I both recommend him to our friends and family and also KIA.

Thank you so much for a great experience and if I should need to get another car for some reason one day, I will definitely be coming back to you, Tim and Paramount KIA!!! Thanks again! More
