My name is Betty Mckinney i went to Paramount Kia on Monday April 21st. I went with hopes that they could help me. I was the first customer there, i was greeted by Tim Whitener with a smile. I told him my situation and i honestly didnt think i had a prayer. But with Tims help he did his magic and i was able to stay in my budget and i drove away in my beautiful Kia Soul LX inferno red. I will tell anyone thats got a budget and needs a car and dont think you have a chance, Go see Tim Whitener and i promise he will go the extra mile for you! Tim i could never be able to Thank you for helping me! Your the best!!
