My experience at Paramount Kia was excellent. All the employees that I encountered were very friendly and professional. Melissa, the sales lady that sold the car to me, went above and beyond. She has c employees that I encountered were very friendly and professional. Melissa, the sales lady that sold the car to me, went above and beyond. She has called me several times since to see how I liked my car and to remind me about the oil change. Tim, the gentleman that worked on getting the car financed, was excellent and actually obtained an APR percentage rate better than I expected. I would definitely and have encouraged others to come Paramount Kia to buy a car. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!! More

We have bought 6 KIA vehicles, 5 of which come from Hickory. We trust Tim W. and I believe the other guy we deal with signing the paper work is Nick. As far as I am concerned I do not need to deal wi Hickory. We trust Tim W. and I believe the other guy we deal with signing the paper work is Nick.

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

I had already researched the vehicle but hadn't yet made up my mind on purchasing one. Ted did an excellent job and was most courteous when we went for the test drive, he took me thru the service dept., and also the garage area, and detailing. I am very satisfied with my purchase and would recommend this dealership to my friends.Thank you. More
