Was a wonderful experience. Everyone was friendly. Joey Lipford was great. Nice, helpful and genuinely nice. The atmosphere was inviting and comfortable. Buying process was as expected with some back and forth, but overall a good experience. In the end went above and beyond and was able to close a deal on a brand new 2016 Kia Soul. Wasn't pressured at all to buy anything, I was given options to choose that were best suited for me and my budget. I would recommend Paramount Kia of Hickory to anyone looking for a vehicle upgrade. You have to check them out. Loving my new Soul. Super fun to drive!

We were so pleased with our experience at the KIA Dealership. The staff was exceptional, especially our sales associate Matt Angle! Matt made our car buying process a breeze. He was genuinely interested in our life story and wanted to make sure we got the vehicle to best serve our needs. Not only was Matt very patient as we asked more than a few questions and test drove a number of cars over the course of a week, he was kind and not pushy at all. During the time we spent with Matt the negative preconception of a 'car sales man' was replaced with a new found friendship. Matt was so much more than a sales person to us and we were blessed to be able to work with such an upstanding man. We look forward to working with KIA and Matt in the future!

Paramount Kia went above and beyond in the buying process considering I walked in and wanted a manual turbo two door in black the options where two in three hundred miles away this is the second car I've purchased from paramount and I'll buy my next and so on and so forth but even after the buying process was gone yet again they went above and beyond with a very knowledgeable staff helpful service department and just generally friendly people

I walked into Kia of Hickory, NC looking for a family van and walked out very satisfied. Matt Hillman was my salesman and met my needs right away. The Kia Sedona he sold me is perfect and more than I expected for the money...great value! This is my second purchase from the dealership and i couldn't ask for a better experience. Don't hesitate on Kia of Hickory...They're the best!

My husband and I have been looking for a mini-van for a little while now. Although our children are grown and we had downsized our vehicle previously, we have adopted my 79 year old grandmother and 2 grandbabies, with another on the way. We love to have them all but my 5 passenger Rogue was no longer large enough. We have test driven a few other vehicles but they either weren't what we were looking for or we just couldn't get the numbers right for us. Matthew Angle posted a picture just yesterday of a 2012 Honda Odyssey, that looked to be just what we'd been praying to find. My husband just so happened to be in the area when I texted him about it. I know that Bro. Matt is an honest person and would never put us in anything that wasn't a good vehicle. You're not just selling cars, you're selling your reputation and character. We were able to purchase this vehicle without the usual hassle, buy something that we really wanted and needed instead of just what we could afford, and do it in half the time we've spent buying vehicles in the past. This will make our 4th purchase from Paramount Kia, 2 of those being new car purchases. We have NEVER experienced any issues or problems with the sales team, or service dept. I recommend Paramount Kia to anyone looking for a new or used car, and would absolutely recommend Matthew Angle. Thanks!

I found a car on auto-trader. The price was fair (Kelly Blue Book).. Tim was not high pressure, just helpful and pleasant. The transaction was painless and quick. No upselling other than to just ask if we wanted extended warranty or GAP. This dealership was awesome. I wasn't force into the purchase the vehicle. I recommend this dealership for all Kia lovers...

I recently found a 2016 Sorento online at Paramount and spoke with Cathy Rivas. I drove several hours to get there and bought the vehicle within a couple of hours. Both Cathy and Tim Crowder were very easy to work with and I never felt any pressure to buy or add on something I did not want. Overall, a great experience.

The service from this dealership is beyond words. If your ever in a spot or just want a new car I suggest going here for the best service you could ever get. Everyone here is friendly and beyond helpful. They go beyond to make sure you leave with a car that you will love and can afford.

When my wife and I walked into the showroom we felt a peace due to the Christian music playing. It was good to know that God had led us to this particular dealer. Our salesman Justin Roepel was very courteous at offering coffee or water. He is also very knowledgeable of his product. He worked with us on what we wanted and found the perfect Serento for our needs. I will refer him & Paramount Kia to anyone who asks me. Thank you Justin. Please thank all who were involved with this task and it was great to talk to someone from our home state(Calif). God bless you with our future.

My husband and I came in on Saturday 9/17/16. We came in our 2013 Kia Soul, which we loved, and we left in our 2016 Kia Soul! You see we loved our car and we were happy to keep it. But after meeting Matt Angle, and he was such a pleasure, we decided, lets do this! And we were definatly not an easy case to work on. But Matt, he hung in there with us and he, along with Tim Crowder, made it happen! Thank you guys so much! We Love our car!! And we could not have done it without you!

I was turned down by multiple dealerships before I went to paramount of hickory. They told me I was a approved before I went to the dealership and I didn't believe it because I was told that same thing with previous dealerships. But paramount gave me their word that I would leave driving a brand new car and that's exactly what happened!! The people there were extremely friendly and helpful. 5 star experience all around!!

He was super nice and very knowledgeable about the vehicle. I felt no pressure at any time during the buying process and he went above and beyond to help me get the car I was hoping to get.

We chose Paramount Kia because we had read good things about Kia vehicles and Paramount Hickory is the closest to our home. We were welcomed right away by Justin Roepel, a sales associate. He worked with us throughout the whole process and we were very pleased. We never felt pressured or uncomfortable. He told us that he hadn't been with Paramount Kia very long, but was very helpful and knowledgeable. He was quick to answer any questions we had or find someone else who could. He was even great with our 6 year old daughter. Everyone we dealt with there seemed to genuinely want to get us in the perfect vehicle for us, and worked with us on getting our monthly payments close to what we needed them to be. Their facility was clean and comfortable. After purchasing our vehicle, Justin took us out to it and went over every detail of the car to make sure we were comfortable with everything and understood how everything worked. We have called and emailed once since our purchase with questions and received quick and helpful responses. So far, we have been very pleased with our new Sportage, and are very glad to have the wonderful warranties that they offered.

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

John was fantastic. He was extremely helpful & flexible. We found a car at another Paramount dealer that was across the street. He lined up several cars for me to review. Then, I switched from used to new & he quickly found exactly what I was looking for. I so appreciated him (and the dealership) being helpful.

I had went to one dealership was denied, I go meet Cathy she helped me get everything fixed and worked out to get a new car that I desperately needed. And in the same time she helped fix mine and my mothers relationship and got me into a new 2015 optima all in one swoop. I not only gained an awesome car agent for the rest of my life I gained a friend. Never going anywhere else. And will always go to Miss Cathy to get a new car.

Matt was wonderful! He took the time to ask questions to narrow down exactly what we were looking for and what would be a good fit for us. We didn't spend time wandering the lot just looking at cars. We test drove 3 cars, told Matt which one was our favorite, and went in and started the paperwork. We left with the perfect car for our family! Thanks Paramount Kia!

Not only was Cathy my sales rep for years but has become a very dear friend to me. I will never go to anyone but Cathy when I need a vehicle and hope that you do the same. Thank you Cathy Rivas

Cathy Rivas was my sales person and I couldn't have been more pleased with her assistance! My time spent with her in decision making was very pleasant. She was very quick to share important functions of the new car. At no time during any conversation did I ever feel pressured. Couldn't have asked for a better experience than I had at this dealership!

When my daughter needed a vehicle, as I have thoroughly enjoyed my Kia Sorrento, there was only type of vehicle to get her...another Kia. She picked the Kia Soul. Cathy was great in helping her to get one in her price range, and one she thoroughly loved!! Cathy offered some of the best non-high pressure selling tactics. She listened to our needs and money available to spend and went to work with great enthusiasm. Cathy went to get the car for us to test drive prior to purchase, in a most horrible thunder storm, she is The Best sales rep EVER!!

Way back in the late 90's when Kia wasn't as common a name as now, I purchased my first Kia for my sons high school graduation gift. I was amazed at the amount of car that you could get for so little money. Since then everytime that I am ready to buy a new car I just don't even bother to look anywhere else. The process is simple and not time consuming. My last 3 purchases were Kia Optimas. In my 2015 Optima I stopped in heavy traffic and was struck in the rear by a SUV traveling at 55-60 mph. Everyone was amazed that my wife and I walked away. The car was totalled but we lived. So My first stop was to Paramount to replace it with a 2016 Kia Optima. We got to the dealership at 1PM and left at 3Pm with our new car.

They are all kind, caring and professional, and treat each customer with the utmost of respect. I could not be more pleased with the overall experience of this recent purchase. KIA Forte I think is one of the best vehicles now on the road.My Thanks to all of you, for your help and friendly treatment!God bless you all!Rev. Harry Armstrong

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.

I purchased a used vehicle here for my daughter. I paid cash for it. It was to be a surprise for her. They were not very helpful in working out a way to get the car in her name. I was willing to pay for everything then and finish the paper work after we presented it to her (2 or 3 days later) but they would not let us even take the key. So we worked a way to get her husband there to put the title in his name. So I give them a cashiers check and then was totally ignored with the exception of when the "financial officer" smarted off to me about everything being in "his name" (my son-in-law's). I mean what right did I have to expect an answer or acknowledgement....I just paid for it. My son in law was just there because they wouldn't work with us. He had nothing to do with it. I will add that the salesman, Alex, wasn't too bad. The car we purchased was nice enough. I now need to purchase a car for myself but am not planning on going back to Paramount Kia to look.

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.

Ok, so I had made up my mind 6 months ago to buy a new Kia when my old car was due to be replaced. And when I first walked in the door I was noticed & approached by several people and welcomed, even though I had contacted by phone my sales professional T. Alex Cochran the day before. Alex picked me up at my home and brought me to the dealership & we settled into the question & answer session comfortably. Alex is friendly, easy to look at & pays very close attention to whatever it was I was saying. He never once made me feel uncomfortable about any question asked and was patient & let me take my time to answer. I asked him for some coffee & he walked me back to the machine & made sure I was happy with it. That helped me to relax when facing the credit manager, the step that came next. So, to shorten the process here let me say that I was never nervous with Andy the credit guy either. Both of these men smiled so much and easily I have to comment on it here. I was treated like I was their mom or sister and made the whole process of buying a car the most wonderful experience in that category I have ever had, straight up no BS. I am in my 6th decade of life and trust me gone through plenty of car buying experiences. Paramount Kia asserts itself well by way of media through its' commercials and any other way such as the building here in Hickory as you drive by it everyday. Please know that anyone would feel comfortable in my humble opinion buying a car from this dealership as they have their process down to a science . The science of people pleasing and making your feel appreciated. I had worked in customer service for many years and so Kia staff did go above and beyond my expectations. Know that you have a precious jewel in your first contact member T. Alex Cochran. I gave him many props & atta boys to his fellows already at Kia because he is professional, courteous, warm , caring, kind and empathy to the max. degree, intelligent & knows how to communicate with whomever walks through your door no matter their background. Thank you Kia so much, you are doing a wonderful job of sharing your product with all who are interested.

A few months ago I was looking for a used truck when I met Michael Griffin at Paramount Kia in Hickory NC. I purchased a vehicle from him and the experience was great. He is honest and informative and very helpful. So when my daughter was ready to purchase a car we went to Michael and he put us in a super nice 2010 KIA Soul that my daughter loves. Michael and all the people I have met at the dealership are very professional and helpful. I would recommend them to everyone who needs a vehicle.

A totally different experience I have ever had in a new car dealership. Not pressured, and dealt with like a real person and not another sale. Went to purchase a Soul in honor of my 17 year old daughter who passed away unexpectedly about 2 months ago. Wanted a Soul in tribute to her since her dream was to get a Black Soul. Was wanting to keep it within reason, so looked at plus models but one or two features just did not come up on those. Randy Rosenbalm the salesman was excellent. We ended up getting a exclaim model for at an extraordinary price with the features that was missing on the Plus for right at the same price all the the other dealers were offering the plus at. IN fact I think it has all the bells and whistles on it available on a Soul. The sales team was great especially Randy. If you go there see Randy. He;s a real person and a different salesman. The finance fella was great and forgive me I forget his name. The others listed where awesome also. I had a number for all of the deal in my mind, and I when I got the deal it was close, but I said this is what I needed numbers wise for the deal and the trade and in less than 5 minutes, they came back and so we'll do it.I will send any one I know of, looking for a Kia here and when times comes will return myself. The whole atmosphere is different here from anywhere I've been and believe me over the years I've seen many. God Bless Paramount Kia in Hickory. I think he already has. and rightfully so.For keeping my daughters dream alive-Thanks so much!! Katherine Grimes

I had a great experience at Paramount KIA! 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. I absolutely love my Sorrento! I couldn't be more happier and I am glad my husband recommended test driving one. I can't wait to drive it every day, it is like a dream!

Everyone at Paramount Kia that we dealt with was very pleasant and helpful. Alex (our salesman) was especially great, and after some help from the friendly finance guy, he sent us on our way with the perfect car for our family. You could tell he genuinely cared and was enthusiastic about getting you into the car you need at a price you can live with. Well done guys, thank you!

I am taken away at how AMAZING Mr. Hoover treated us! He is an AMAZING salesman. He worked so hard for us for 2 days to get us a car. He stayed over 2 hrs past his shift to make sure he had tried everything in his power to get us in a car. I am beyond pleased with him and kia for how great of service we were gave. He is by far one of the best salesmen we have worked with in a very long time. I want to say thank you so very much for all you have done for our family! Thank you#GODISGOOD

We are so thankful for our new Kia Forte! Randy Rosenbalm, salesman, was a blessing to us! He knew the product and helped us to purchase just the car that we needed and wanted and with a great warranty, at a price we could afford! We no longer have a big payment on a high mileage old car! We drove home in a few hours with our new car! Randy showed us that he cared more about us ,the customer than making a big commission! Thank you Randy and Paramount Kia of Hickory! We will recommend you to all our friends and family! God bless!

I'd just like to say that my recent experience purchasing a 2016 Kia Soul from Randy Rosenbalm was a pleasure. It was by far the best car-buying experience I've ever had. Randy was patient, knowledgeable, and efficient in every phase of the sales process. I can't possibly say enough good things about Randy , so I'll just finish by saying that I will definitely be referring other prospective Kia buyers to Randy Rosenbalm and Paramount Kia of Hickory.

I want to extend great thanks to Thomas Cochran (Alex) for his patients and time he took with my boyfriend and I while trying to purchase a vehicle. I was about to throw in the towel and give up on getting a car as I couldn't seem to get my payments down with my bank to a comfort zone I was able to swing. Alex did not let me give up and I know I can be a hard person to deal with yet he did so with ease! I am loving my new Sorento and Thank you all for your time and help...but I owe Alex the greatest thanks of all for he put up with us as well as got us into the car my heart was set on. I will tell anyone I know looking for a car to visit Paramount Kia of Hickory and ask for Alex Cochran!Thanks AgainAndy and Heather Hodges

We have bought three KIAs from Tim Whitener. Tim Whitener does a great job and takes all of the hassle out of buying a car.

22 de abr. de 2016

After explaining to the sales rep exactly what we wanted and needed, he was able to give us three options which were all perfect. The deciding factors were balancing the lowest price with good features. When getting the financial side done the payment was not what we were looking for, so the finance rep went back and showed us how removing the extended warranty brought the price down to where we wanted it to be... We were well taken care of from start to the end of our 6 hour stay at the dealership.

Can't say enough about what a wonderful experience my purchase was and how nice Jason Auman was to work with. Jason was very thorough and professional. This was my first car purchase on my own and was something I kept putting off . Jason made the experience easy and painless and I couldn't be happier. I definitely would send friends and family to Paramount Kia and will be back when I'm ready to make my next purchase.

We came in to get our Kia van repaired...customer service has always been great in the past. And again it was fantastic. But after looking around...we decided to trade in our 10 year old van...and upgrade to a new Forte. Tim in the sales department was very patcient with us and helped us choose on the perfect car for my retired mother! Financing was able to get her payments where she needed them to be because she is in a fixed income.My mom left driving a new Kia Forte with a huge smile on her face! It is the first car she has actually picked out and bought all by herself...at 81 years old! The staff at Paramount Kia in Hickory is warm and helpful and professional! It is the second Kia we have bought from them..and we would highly recommend them for anyone shopping for a car.

Cathy Rivas is by far the best Sales Person I've ever met. She is kind, caring and listens to what you say. Paramount Kia is very lucky to have her. Andy in finance was AWSOME as well.

After having several problems with my vehicle, I decided buying new was the way to go. Bre helped me find the perfect Kia Optima. I had in mind a specific color, interior, and features I wanted. She made sure I got the one I wanted. The finance department was great. I told them exactly what I wanted my payments and they worked so hard to get them just right. I was very impressed. I would highly recommend Paramount Kia. I usually don't leave reviews, but the treatment I received was above and beyond. I can't thank them enough.

The entire experience with Paramount was awesome, from Holly who phoned about my email inquiry to the lady that scheduled my appointment with Michael Griffen the salesman that worked the entire day to get me the deal I needed, in order to purchase a new Kia Rio, I love my care and the entire experience was nothing short of outstanding. I have and will continue to recommend Paramount and Michael to anyone wanting to purchase from a respectable, reliable and honest dealership.

I purchased a new Kia Soul from David Hoover at Paramount Kia in Hickory NC. I did not initially intend to buy a new car but my experience was especially satisfying.

My experience in dealing with larger dealerships has never really been that great. That is, until my wife and I visited Paramount Kia in Hickory. I emailed and inquired about a certain vehicle and set up an appointment for the next day. We showed up, test drove it, and then within 2 hours later, had finalized the deal. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a vehicle.

Watching television, the Paramount Kia commercial came on. This caught my attention. Recently being left carless, I was on the search for another vehicle. Frankly, I did not believe that I could get a car due to my questionable credit score. So I decided to give it a shot. This is when I met Dustin Estes and he was absolutely AWESOME!!!! I now own a Kia Soul and have very affordable payments. They made sure that I was leaving with my car and worked with creditors. I am so happy. I would recommend Paramount Kia to everyone.

I was inquiring about another vehicle, however that did not work out. My salesman Dustin Estes continued searching different options and vehicles until he found the vehicle that I wanted.

I was very pleased with the reception and help I received from Bobbi Williams showing me the cars, giving me information on how each one was set up. The time spent in showing the different style of cars was very helpful in deciding what I wanted. There was no pressure to decide in a hurry. The chance to drive it overnight was wonderful. I ended up with an Optima and the roominess and smooth ride was great too. The credit department and signing to purchase my car made it easy too. I would certainly recommend Paramount Kia of Hickory, NC to anyone. I have already showed the car to family members and they were very impressed with style and drive.

I purchased a used Lincoln Town Car from Paramount a few months ago. They gave me one key for the car. I asked them to contact the former owner of the car and have him to bring the other keys and the door code in to the dealership. They told me that they would pay for a new key and have a technician to get the code for me at another Dealership. I went to a Ford dealership to have this done and when the service manager called them to arrange for the payment they avoided me when I called them. The dealership that I went to for the service wouldn't do it without payment from Paramount first and Paramount never has done anything they said they would. I went to WalMart and had a key made myself but I still have no door code so my keyless entry is useless. THEY TOLD ME A LIE and this cost them at least 3 sales over the next few weeks.

WE LOVE OUR NEW CAR!!! Both of my parents have health issues that make it hard for them to get in/out of a car. Our previous vehicle was a Jeep Liberty and believe it or not my SOUL is alot easier for them to get in/out of. It has more leg room & my father no longer complains about being bounced around. Carlton Garris, my salesman, was very helpful. He didn't push me into buying a car I didn't need (like my previous sales experience at another dealership). He helped with setting up all the "gadgets" in the car that I had no earthly idea how to set up. The gas mileage is great. I have "NO COMPLAINTS" whatsoever. My parents are also very pleased with our choice. Thank you, everyone at Paramount KIA for helping me make their life easier!

My wife and I came to Paramount because we looked on the internet and felt you had the best selection of used cars. We felt we could find a car that would meet our needs. Michael Griffin helped us pick a car that would meet that. He knew his cars and helped pick a Kia Soul for our next car and I have been very happy with the car we picked. The entire process was simple and easy from test drive to purchase and we will come back again when we are ready to trade again. Thanks again Michael!!

Sandra and Bobbi were great helping our family get a new dependable car. They welcomed us in and did not judge us for our situation, credit score or trade ins that we had. The car buying experience was made easy. Tim crowder also was a big help and stayed in touch with us until the process was over. But, I am not happy with the detailing part of service. Left stickers on windows, didn't clean windows, scratched back of trunk, took floor mats and have to chase them down to get it back. One detail guy took pictures of car when we left now we are here for the third time to get it cleaned. The car already has a miss in it and Bobbi scheduled us yo get it fixed and they didn't put his in system so now we have to wait two more weeks to car looked at.

It may have have been that my husband and I already knew what car we wanted to buy that made it so easy, but the service we received just made the experience all that much more great.

All of the staff are very friendly and engage in conversation or offer help to aid one another while providing the customer with answers to any question they may have. Randy in sales was particularly helpful. He was very eager to show all of the features that the vehicle had. Once the decision was made to purchase the vehicle, he worked with Andy to get us the best price possible for the car we wanted. They were not pushy, they were helpful. When it comes time for me to get a new second vehicle I will definitely be going to see the folks of KIA of Hickory before anyone else. I would definitely recommend others to take their business there. Thanks, Marc

My wife and I drove from Asheville to Paramount Kia on a rainy stormy evening. After a good discussion about the vehicle and fair pricing offered,we decided to purchase the car. Randy knew all about the vehicle and went out of his way to answer any questions we had, Everyone at the dealership was courteous and knowledgeable.The Honda CRV was just what we saw on their website, no smoke and mirrors or hassles. We came away with a vehicle we loved and made new friends with the staff at Paramount Kia to boot. Extremely easy purchase and very professional.

Had only made two payments on my new Kia Soul from Paramount, when I was involved in an accident. After dealing with insurance, repairs, being told my new car was going to be totalled, because of the air bag deployment (seriously?), I stopped by Paramount to see what, if anything could be done to help. Even though I had no trade in, not cash reserve, and good but very little credit ratings, inside of 1 1/2 hours, Tim Whitener had me in another new Kia Soul, and my payments only went up a little. Went to Paramount first because they are a corporate season sponor for Hickory Community Theatre, where I am Production Stage Manager. I have and will continually highly recommend Paramount Kia to anyone looking for a new, or grand quality used vehicle. These folks helped me get rid of all the "lot lizard" jokes and tales I had ever heard. Thank you Tim and Paramount Kia for making my life a little easier. Thom Hutchens

We were pleased with our experience at Paramount Kia. Everyone was courteous and knowledgeable and not overly aggressive about selling us a car. We have already had follow-up calls about how we are doing with learning all the details of this new car.

I bought a car there not too long ago. I told them I didnt want any warranty, abd we agree on a decent deal. The next thing I know, they decide to put warranty anyway. I called to cancel it again, they said they'll get it fix. A month later, nothing has happen and my payment and amount still the same. Even the sales person is bad, lie about buying me gas. But decide to hide from me after i bought the car. Never been to a horrible place like this. Pleas be aware if you plan to buy car here!

We have been going to Paramount KIA for service the past two years. They have always been reasonable, honest and friendly. While having my 2010 Optima serviced we were walking the lot to pass the time. Of course the sales department noticed but didn't intrude on our looking. Eventually salesman struck up a conversation without being forceful about sales. Just friendly and offering some services they could provide if we wanted to look at any vehicle. My wife noticed a used truck with less than 6000 miles on it. Soon we were test driving it discussing a deal. We laid out our parameters on price, trade-in etc. They went out of their way to meet our desires and we closed that day. IT WAS STRESS FREE plus laid back, none of the high pressure sales you often deal with. We were so impressed that we returned 3 weeks later with my 2010 Optima and made another deal for a new 2015 Optima.NEED I SAY MORE! Carlton, you rock!

I'm very pleased with our salesman Carlton and the staff at Paramount Kia. I feel that we were treated with respect and received a good deal on our trade and purchase. I don't feel that we were pressured and any time. They did everything necessary to get us into the vechiles that we wanted. They were very considerate of what our "comfort zone" was. I highly recommend Paramount Kia and Carlton if you are looking for a new or used vehicle.

I could not be more pleased with all the help I received, and the excellent way I was treated. Jason was very polite and helpful. He went the extra mile to help me get into my new Kia. Thank you Jason. He made my car buying experience very pleasant.Shirley Austin

My husband bought a 2014 Rio in March of 2015. This was the 6th car we had bought from Paramount in the last 15 years. At the time of every other purchase, the dealer handled the change over of the insurance from our old car to the new one. On this occasion the person doing the paperwork got all our insurance information and said he would call and make those changes for us. In August my husband had an accident in this new car. When we called our insurance agent to start a claim, we were told that we had NO insurance on the new car. Then car we traded in was still on our policy. Clearly the Paramount person did NOT do what he said he would do. When we called Paramount to ask for their help with this, we got no response. We called and spoke to 4 or 5 different people. When we finally got someone to call us back and talk to us about it, the answer was that they were not responsible for our problem. If you buy a car from these people, be sure to check behind whatever they tell you because they are not responsible to do what they say. Also, I put this review up last month and they took it down the same day.

Thank you Paramount Kia and Carlton Garrison for an extremely pleasant car buying experience. Everyone, we came in contact, was very cordial, welcoming, and helpful. From choosing the right color to the financing, Paramount Kia was outstanding in their customer service. We love our new 2015 Kia K900!

Went to Paramount KIA of Hickory to look at a used Hyundai Genesis. I was met by Jordan Cruz he was polite and informative. He had excellent knowledge of the car and took his time to show me all the options and accessories of the car. Me and my finance was able to test drive the car with as much time as we need. When we arrived back at paramount we went over all the details of what was needed to purchase the car including bringing my car back for trade. We were able to break down all the numbers for the cars and made an advanced appointment to bring my car back. I was thoroughly pleased with my experience at paramount. I LOVE MY NEW GENESIS and I would recommend all my family and friends to come see Jordan! Ronnie Roberts

I recently went through a divorce and my credit was not so good. I didn't think I would qualify for a loan, especially for a new car. My old car was shot and I needed a car that was dependable, so I wouldn't worry about breaking down. Everyone was so respectful and empathetic regarding my situation. I was so relieved driving off in my new Optima. Thank you Paramount KIA Hickory!!!!

I would have to say that Paramount KIA Hickory is the best dealership around. Everyone that we dealt with during our visit was extremely nice and helpful. We purchased our 2015 Kia Optima from them last week. This was the best car buying experience that we have ever had. Randy was so helpful and answered all of our questions. He went over and beyond what we expected from a salesman. He helped us pick out the perfect car for us. We were in and out, in no time. I will highly recommend Paramount KIA Hickory to all of my friends and family.

My sister recommended Paramount Kia to me and my daughter after she purchased a 2015 Kia Soul. Her car is sexy and just right for her and the family. She purchased her car from Jason, who is a single salesman, and wanted me to talk to him. I did and he was awesome. I would like to thank Jason for working with my daughter and I on the purchase of her 2012 Kia Forte. Jason is geniune and really wanted to help my daughter get the best deal for her money. He made several recommendations based on her college budget, and most importantly found her a car with good mileage and a clean interior. Getting a car was a big deal for my daughter because she needed one to do her internships before graduating from Lenoir-Rhyne University. As a result, my sister received a $100 check for referring my daughter to the dealership and her purchasing the Kia Forte. If you have a need a car or just want a great fuel and cost-efficient vehicle, then I recommend that you look up Jason at Paramount Kia of Hickory, NC. Tell them that Rhonda Norris referred you because I want a check for $100 too.

The whole purchase experience at Paramount was a breeze. From the time I entered the showroom to the time we drove away I enjoyed the excellent service and attention. Tim Whitener was knowledgable and very helpful and even stayed two hours past his schedule to make sure we had a thorough knowledge of the cars features. We purchased a Kia K900 and we absolutely love this automobile. It was also nice that the owner of Paramount made sure he introduced hisself and gave us his undivided attention through out the day as well.

Paramount Kia treated me better than I have ever been treated in about 50 years of car buying. The staff (and especially Kathy Rivas) treated me with the utmost respect. The owner, Benny Yount, even spent an inordinate amount of time with me. Never did I feel pressured nor any other negative feelings that are some times felt in a car buying experience. The transaction] was easy, fast & completely painless. I strongly recommend Paramount Kia!!

I was looking for a used Prius and I found one at Paramount Kia of Hickory. I needed the car promptly which I explained to the agent. The car needed another cargo cover in which I asked the sales agent to get for me before I agreed to purchase the vehicl. The service agent (Josh Johnson) damaged the car due to carelessness. I was still willing to purchase the car becauseI felt everyone deserves a second chance, however Mr. Johnson kept giving me the run around. Needless to say five days later I had no car and Mr. Johnson had the nerve to tell me there was nothing he could do for me but give me an apolpgy because they ordered a new cargo cover. They refused to honor a $100 certificate which I printed out from their website for the purchase of any new or used car.An apolpgy was not good enough because these people wasted my time and lied to me about the damages caused by their employee to the car. I will never use this car dealer again, not to mention the service was very unprofessional.

Paramount Kia did a great job in making purchasing a vehicle a good experience for me and my granddaughter. We went online to their website to look at the vehicles they had to offer & found a car that seemed interesting. We contacted the dealership via the website & was promptly called the next morning. Danny Hunt set up an appointment for us and was really helpful in assisting us when we arrived. He showed us the 2015 models and explained the benefits of purchasing a new car. However, my granddaughter was interested in a particular car she had looked at and decided it was "the car" for her. She decided on a 2013 Kia Rio which fit her budget at a good price. The entire process went smoothly and I felt we were treated with respect in regards to our wishes & the things that were important in our decision. I would recommend Paramount Kia in Hickory, NC & especially Danny Hunt.

I had the pleasure of working with some of the most courteous, professional and knowledgeable people at Paramount Kia. They were respectful of my time and my budget. I was totally impressed with how Carlton was able to find the car that I wanted that fit my finances. He really listened. Also, Sandy was able to further ease this process by answering my questions and assisting with the right paperwork. While there, everyone that I met always asked either "Can I help you?" or "Are you being helped?" I left a very happy customer.

I just recently purchased a vehicle from Paramount Kia of Hickory. My knowledge of purchasing a new vehicle was not that great, but they were there to answer any question I had. Tim was very helpful and knowledgeable toato all my questions. Tim also listened to what I wanted in a car versus just trying to sell me a car. I have synced talked to Tim personally and he was there for any upcoming questions I may have in the future. Overall great experience.

My experience at Paramount Kia far exceeded my expectations. Randy was an excellent salesperson. He took care of everything the day I got my car and even called my insurance company after! All I had to do was confirm it. I've never gotten that kind of service at any other car dealership. I will definitely be recommending Paramount Kia to friends and family. I am loving my new car!

Sam had spent several hours reading and studying the special features of the Kia Optima. He was very interested in the advanced options of the car. Cathy was so friendly when we first entered the building and was so informed about the car that Sam was almost sold from the start. Then after the test drive and a preview of the computer system he was sold.

Cathy Rivas is a very nice and knowledgeable rep for paramount. Benny has sold my family and my company many cars over the decades. He has quality staff, and he is an honest Christian businessman. It has been, and remains, a pleasure to purchase from him....everything from Kia to Cadillac to Ferrari. I have been treated politely and honestly every time. That type of favorable reputation , based upon how Benny lives his life plus the calibre of employees he hires, is not all that common. It is pleasant .

My biggest concern was telling her what color car I wanted!! And Andy in the finance was the best. I never had such a great and fast car buying experience like this one!! Highly recommend Paramount Kia in Hickory!!!

We searched online for a car and found one at Paramount that we really wanted. When we got there, the car had been sold just the night before. We were disappointed, but the salesman was determined to find us something we would like. He sat down with us and talked to us about what we needed and really got a sense of who we were. He didn't try to sell us on something just because it was available. He really worked with us. When we found the one we wanted, we had an easy enough time doing the paperwork. I recommend bringing documentation with you if you want to take a car home the same day though! They needed check stubs and verification of address to apply for financing. The Financing department was very helpful in explaining the loan and our expectations. Our interest rate was higher than expected, but we are first time car buyers with no money down. We drove home in our car the same day even though they still need one check stub from my husband! We have lower credit scores and still got approved for a loan! We were very excited about getting approved and being able to drive home. The car we got was absolutely perfect, even though it was one model year old. It came with a factory warranty still valid, and they did a full detail inside and out before we left. The whole experience was pain free and very relaxed.A few notes: Be prepared to be there all day if you go on the weekend. We were there for four hours total!!!! Most of the time was spent waiting on the bank to approve/deny us. Leave the kids at home. We have a three year old and I did not expect to be there so long. There is NOTHING for kids to do there, and he was extremely bored. He ended up running all over the place for several hours, and the salesman did give him a balloon from a car, which helped for a little while. There are not "customer refreshments" short of coffee and water. I was a little disappointed in this, considering how long we were there. SHORT VERSION: Great service, friendly staff, easy process, but a long wait on the weekends and no entertainment/good refreshments.

Excuse me while I gush! Fantastic shopping experience!I'm a HUGE advocate of Good Customer Service - and my husband and I got exactly that. We walked out with a new car, a smile on our faces and new friends. The Sales Representative was very attentive and understanding. Danny took the time to listen to us and help us get exactly what my husband wanted. Patrick went the extra mile and got the mirror that was desired to 'clench' the deal! This is the third car that I have purchased from a Paramount Dealership. Seriously, they hire really good people with high standards and that shows!Thank you for everything - see you when I buy my next car! :) Thanks for everything - see you when I buy my next car! :) !!!

I had looked at several car dealerships in choosing a new SUV; the KIA Sportage is the one that clicked for me. Carlton was an easy-going sales representative, very personable and helpful answering our questions. The financial representative was also easy and pleasant to work with. The only feature I wanted that wasn't present was a sun roof which they have agreed to provide for me through their service department. The car is stylish, comfortable, and feels very solid as I drive it. One question to their service department was answered very courteously.

I was a first time car buyer who didn't know much about buying cars even though I done a lot of online research looking for preferences to fit my needs as a college student. My father had suggested Paramount Kia, where he had purchased his truck a few years before and he recommended Cathy Rivas as my sale associate. Cathy was extremely helpful and knowledgeable of the cars she had shown me and had she had helped me purchased my new Kia Forte Ex. I would recommend Paramount Kia to anybody just because of how great my experience was with them.

When I took my Kia Sportage in to have it worked on and found out that it was going to cost more to fix it than it would be to trade it was scary. Preston hooked me up with a very nice and experienced sales man and he worked very hard to fine me a new car within my price range. They found me a Kia Soul and I was very happy with it. Paramount Kia of Hickory is where I will always get my cars and have them worked on.

Past experiences with buying cars have left my husband and myself feeling sick when we left the dealership after a purchase, but with Paramount Kia, we really had a pleasant experience and felt excited when we left with our new 2014 Optima. The warranty really gave us peace of mind and the experience, although it took longer than we wanted, was painless. Playing christian music in the dealership was truly enjoyable. Takes a lot these days for businesses to play christian music for fear of hurting ones feelings who may not believe and to take this stand made us feel we had made the right choice.

My salesman, Tim Whitener, treated me exceptionally well. He took me out for a test drive and explained all of the features and benefits of the car. There was no pressure at all from Tim for me to get the car. This is my 4th Kia that I have gotten thru Paramount Kia Hickory, so I felt very comfortable using their dealership. Also, I go to Preston, one of the service advisors, whenever I need service work on any of my vehicles. Chris Williams was easy to work with on the finance side, as well. I'll be returning to Paramount Kia of Hickory for my next vehicle.

My daughter and I stopped by Paramont Kia to meet Tim who was going to show us around. He was very nice to me and my daughter and didn't mind answering all our questions also he was very helpful in deciding weather to buy a used car or a new one. I know what your thinking but with 0% financing the choose became easy when he ran the figures on both used and new. They made both of us feel welcomed and no pressure. I'm glad that my daughter got to see what a pleasant experience should be like for future purchases. She loves her NEW 2015 Sorento.

We were introduced to George Peoples who showed us all the different SUVS Kia offered we ended up with the 2015 Kia Sorento. We had a great experience with all involved in the sale. I love the room and compartments in the back to haul stuff. I would recommend Paramount Kia to anyone we have always had great service in buying all of our vehicles their..

I received a very quick response from the Kia team. I immediately set up an appointment to meet with a team member in person. I knew exactly what I want. The sales team never harassed or pressured me into anything other than what I was looking for. I was given a full run down of my car and was shown, not told, how everything worked. My experience was quick, not rushed. I walked out knowing I was given a great deal! Thank you paramount Kia of hickory!

Pulled up to the dealsership thinking I was gonna get kind of pushed and harassed by salesmen into getting a car..This dealership shatters those worries and inhibitions within minutes.I am also a sales person myself, so, I'm usually super critical of other people trying to sell me stuff but Jim, the salesman I spoke to and dealt with, was super nice and personable. I actually felt like he had my best interest at heart instead of his own. This is extremely important to me. His demeanor was very organic and I didn't feel like he was putting on a sales character (like how some salesmen will say the same lines/jokes/ whatever else to every customer) I felt like he was talking to me specifically and it was greatly appreciated.I went in looking for some used cars because mine had broken. i had looked at a Honda CRV and a Kia Sportage. Both were very nice and I liked them, but wasn't thrilled with them and only tried to get them out of necessity. Some things happened with the financing and loaning that prevented me from getting either of these cars. Jim hunted around and thought about everything, and my specific situation, and he came to me with a 2012 Kia Soul. Not only would it help my financing issue, but it was a better car all around in my opinion. It had way less miles and it was the color and style that I actually wanted. (Most of the time when you're in a pinch you have to settle)During the down time between checking our options and Jim talking to the finance guy, I would talk to the receptionist, Brittany. She was extremely nice and professional and answered all my questions very quickly.She was just a joy to talk to in general. Great staff member.I dealt with Jim over a period of 3 days. on the first day we checked out cars, on the 2nd day i got the car, and on the 3rd day i had to finish up with the tag and insurance. I honestly had fun going over there and on the 3rd day I was still excited to get up there even though I already had the car. Jim showed me/talked to me about every single thing I asked for/about and took extra time with me to walk around the lot and answer my questions and concerns.He is great at his job and changed my view of car salesmen completely. He is a real person, a true person. That's all I'd ever want to talk to in any retail place... especially when you're making such a big decision. you don't want someone who is against you.Definitely Recommended, Heartily encouraged.++The car is incredible, I love everything about it. the style, the performance, definitely the gas mileage. It seems that everything they were telling me about the car is completely true. you never know what you're getting with used cars and there absolutely has to be a level of trust when discussing purchasing one. This dealership exceeded that level.

This was the first car we have purchased in 6 years. The staff at Paramount Kia made the process so simple and smooth it was unbelievable. I would recommend this dealership to anyone wanting to purchase a vehicle.

From the moment we made the first call until we walked out the door with the keys to my 2013 Kia Sorrento, the staff at Paramount Kia Hickory was great. Everyone we met was friendly, courteous and professional. Our salesman, Carlton Garris, went above and beyond accommodating us with our schedule and was very patient with us. We know our future contacts in serving our vehicle will bring the same experience.

On Tuesday September 15, 2014 I came in to the Kia dealership for an appointment with Jim Richardson. At first meeting Jim he greeted me with a smile, a handshake and introduced himself. We went to his office and he proceeded to inquire as to what I was looking for in a car. After looking at the 2015 Kia Forte that he suggested we took a test drive during which he explained many things about the car . After the test drive we went over information to see if I would be able to trade my Sonata for the Forte. Jim took the information to finance and determined that he would be able to work out a dealAfter the paperwork was prepared I was brought into Daryl Horton's office to meet with him. Daryl also greeted me with a smile, a handshake and introduced himself. Everything was explained very clearly at which time we went over and signed all the paperwork.When we were done Daryl was able to get a very good deal for me and the bottom line I was able to lower my payment which was what I requested when we started.This is the 3rd car I have purchased from Paramount and by far was the best experience I had with both Sales (Jim) and finance (Daryl). The whole process was enjoyable and not time consuming. Not only was my payment lowered but I came in looking for a 2014 and left with a new (6 miles) 2015.I am very happy with my Forte and will have no problem referring Paramount Kia to friends , family or acquaintances.Thank you Jim and Daryl for your pleasant and friendly service. God bless you bothIn Gods' serviceKathleen E. Wright

Paramount Kia of Hickory NC was a pleasure to do business with. The salesman listened to what kind of vehicle we were looking for and the price range we wanted to stay in. Jeremy did not try to sell us anything other than the specific suv we were looking for. No hassle sale and it only took a couple of hours to pick out the vehicle and do all the paperwork and we were out of there with exactly what we were looking for. I would recommend Kia of Hickory to all my friends and family.Thanks,Drema CopelandMorganton,NC

This is our third Kia from Paramount. After seeing the Cadenza on the lot on a Sunday, I contacted Ethan online on Monday. I had seen the internet pricing and had a high interest in the vehicle. He answered all my questions and I made an appointment to see the vehicle the next day. He had it washed and sitting in the garage for my wife and I to look at. Ethan explained all the features and benefits of the car and we took a test drive. That's when we were totally sold. The finance process was just as quick and easy with Chris. Being we have had great experiences with Preston in the service department for scheduled maintenance, I knew that we were going to be well taken care of there, also. Absolutely no pressure. Keep up the great work.

I bought a car fro the Kia dealership this summer and am very happy with my purchase. Living in Hickory, there are more than 20 dealerships within a two mile stretch so I had a lot of choices. Most places didn't even take the time to ask my name before going into a hard sales pitch. At the Kia dealership, my salesman brought in the general manager to address my concerns and knocked a significant amount off the sticker price to alleviate any concerns I had. The car looks and runs great and I am would recommend Kia of Hickory to anyone!

The Paramount Kia Hickory has a friendly professional staff. Jim Moir was very knowledgeable about the many features of the Kia Soul. We were shopping and this was our first stop. After driving the 2014 Kia Soul and everything it has to offer, met every need, wish list, and our price range, We decided to not spend time going anywhere else. Had not intended to have Kia find financing but Daryl found us a rate that was better than the credit union. This was an overall great experience. Great Staff, Great Product, Value Priced. Very happy woth the car and discovering new things every day! We will definately return for our next purchase of a vehicle to Paramont Kia Hickory.

Buying a car can be an emotional experience - what with saying good-bye to a beloved older vehicle and worrying about how much the car payments will be. The team at Paramount Kia helped me through all that. They were professional and worked with me to get the very best financing plan. And I got a beautiful previously-loved car! Now I can drive with peace of mind.

While I have not yet visited the dealership or met Roger in person, he impressed me greatly online. I was interested in a particular Kia Soul, but I work several jobs so my time to shop in person is greatly limited. I told him specifically what I was looking for, what I was trading in, and asked that he tell me if what I wanted to do was even possible before I wasted either my time or his coming to the dealership and spending an hour or so. I was expecting the usual run-around, but instead, he gave me "just the facts," which was exactly what I needed. He was very helpful, professional and to the point, didn't try to sell me on a lease, which I know I definitely do not want, or tell me how much it would cost "per day," which I hate! Best experience I've ever had with a car salesman! Unfortunately, the numbers just wouldn't work for what I was wanting to do, but he offered to let me know if something came up in the future that might possibly work - but no high pressure sales tactics. So if you're looking for a car salesman that will be straight up with you and not pull any punches, ask for Roger!

My name is Ben and I would love to share my buying experience. I am not usually one to do this but the experience i had at paramount kia in hickory led me to tell everyone i knew how good everything turned out. My wife and I had a difficult situation. negative equity in the car we were trading in, we wanted a car with more room for our son and we wanted a monthly payment as close to what we were already paying as possible. I went into the process thinking we would get showed a bunch of cars that didn't fit our needs and were too expensive. Our salesman Roger Hill asked us all about what we want in the car. for example: power windows, power doors, cruise control. I could go on forever but to keep this short Roger took all the information we gave him and found us a perfect car to fit our need. not only did Roger find us a car that fit our needs but it also had just about 50,000 less miles on it and the payments fit our budget. I was very happy to give a review for paramount kia. Good honest hard work deserves recognition. If your looking for a hassle free enjoyable car buying experience then paramount kia of hickory is the place to go.

I visited the Kia dealership on a Sunday to do some comparison shopping, not expecting to find anyone working. We met Cathy Rivas as we started making our way through the extensive array of vehicles. She immediately made my husband and I feel at ease as she answered all our questions. I was impressed by her knowledge and patience as I was not sure exactly what I wanted. She helped me define what I wanted as we checked out each possibility until we found what I wanted. We came the following day for a test drive. Cathy had everything ready- she even had the car washed..The test drive was smooth as we one again bombarded her with questions. She was able to answer our questions but never made us feel pressured at any time. She promised to get us a deal then followed through on that promise. Even the business end of the deal was highly organized, efficient and painless. I feel like I got the car I really wanted at a fair price in the least amount of time I have ever spent in the process. I will recommend Paramount Kia of Hickory - and Cathy in particular- to anyone looking to buy their next car.

They definitely don't want you leaving there unhappy. :) thank you for the kindness and patience that you showed me during my visit.

Even while they were working on my loan he kept me informed. I bought a Kia Soul and love it.

My overall experience with Paramount Kia of Hickory was absolutely amazing. I did not feel pressured at any time during the visit to buy a new or used car. I simply chose Kia because I was referred by a family member. Although I am a strong supporter of Chevrolet, I could not be any happier with my Kia Rio LX. The majority of the reason that I loved the service so much was my sales representative, Phil Philyaw. It was a very windy day and when we went for the test drive and walked over to the service center to run my payment card, he made jokes and really helped me feel comfortable. I even got to charge my iPhone while waiting on the papers to process. The fact that I have just turned 19 with no credit to my name and was able to finance a car by myself through the First Time Buyer's program made me ecstatic. Words cannot begin to express how much I love the Paramount Kia of Hickory crew and all that they have done for me thus far. I have recommended three people to go try to get a car with Phil and will continue to do so.

My wife and I went down on Friday to look at a the KIA Sorento 2013 model! We test drove it fell in love with it. We could not afford the payment that was offered by month, but was called on Saturday by KC and Rand telling me that I could have it at a certain price and we agreed upon that, and so KC told me that it would be ready for me to pick up today Monday February 10th, but they turned around and sold it, just because someone else fell in love with it after we made the deal on Saturday! I don't like dealing with folks like this, I could never trust them again. Then they turned around trying to sell me one with more miles and less on it than what we agreed to, I don't feel like I have been treated fairly and feel that I was swindled. There was not actual singing I will agree to that, but I agreed to the one that I test drove, and not some knock-off! I will guarantee you this, if they came into my store and I treated them the same way as they have treated me would feel the same if not even worse! This is sickening to the core!

Jim was the reason that I purchased the car. I had been looking for about 10 years for a Lexus and wanted to buy one and the car is super and so was Jim. The price of the car was good and my overall experience was great. They made sure I was satisfied with everything. I would and will recommend Jim and Paramount Kia to all my friends.

I had my children with me and it took a couple of hours to finalize everything however the sales team was very nice and provided my children with coloring activities and an area to entertain them while I handled the process. The price was more than I came expecting to pay but I am very happy with my Kia. It has great gas mileage. I have already recommeded them to my whole family.

UPDATED: The dealership has gone above and beyond expectations by replacing the entire headliner because there were some stains that would not come out! Never expected them to entirely replace it, especially on a used, 3 year old car. They also managed to fix the issue with the oil spot in the trunk area, looks like they may have removed the padding and replaced it as well. Very satisfied with the work done! Love the car, great mileage, (last check was 31.5 combined city/hwy!! Thanks Kia for taking care of me and my car and following through on the promises made by the salesman. OLD REVIEW: Due to a job description change, I found myself in need of a car with decent gas mileage and low miles, preferably with a warranty of some kind. 2 years ago, we purchased a 2010 Kia Forte from Paramount Kia in Hickory from Brent Huffman and everything was smooth, service was great, and they were very responsive to any concerns we had concerning our purchase, even though it was a used car. Given our past experience with Hickory Kia, I decided to purchase my vehicle there once again. Much to my dismay, the expereince on this occasion has been less than desirable. I met Justin and discussed what I was looking for. He showed me a 2004 Optima that was the current internet special. The price was right and we began the proceedings to get financing in order, etc. I had to return to work soon and also work the next day so we agreed to meet on Thursday morning to finalize the deal. Upon arrival, we sat down and he told me that financing was approved but there was a problem, someone else had sold the car on Wed. Not only was there no call to let me know this had occurred, they did not seem too very concerned that it had happened, tried to blow it off because "there was no deposit made on the car". My salesman never asked if I would like to do so and since we had started the ball rolling for the Optima, I thought we had already set the deal. No so apparently. As my need was great, I decided to look at other options and he showed me a 2010 Forte, exactly like we had purchased 2 years ago, except for the color. It needed a thorough detailing and a few minor touch ups but the car drove, handled and responded very well. Again, the pricing was good for the car and after getting Justin and Phil (sales manager) to agree to completely detail the interior ( had some stains in the headliner, seatbelt straps, seats, and an oil spot in the trunk) and to recondition the wheels I agreed to the purchase. They got the wheels done but I've made two trips to get the detailing done. I still have spots and oil and when I went to pick up my car (a day after it was to be ready) they still had not done anything on the list that I had provided for them! It also took them 20 minutes to find my car and to tell me it would be another 2 hours before it would be ready! Simple list: Complete the detailing as promised, Repair the TRIP reset button, check the alignment, touch up the paint chip on the front fender, and provide me with service records for the car. They had done all maintenance for the previous owner so all records are there. As of a week later, the paint is touched up and the TRIP button fixed but now they are telling me tha the oil stain and the spots on the head liner can't be cleaned? Why did they asure me, prior to purchase, that they would take care of it if it could not be done??? Why was my car not ready when promised and I went a day late to pick it up? (supposed to be ready Tuesday, had dropped it off Monday evening, did not go to pick it up until Wed afternoon, still was not ready) It almost seems that they no longer care about their customers and that is sad, They used to do such a great job! Sorry for the long review but I felt the need to tell this story. Thanks for reading!

As the owner of a brand new 2013 KIA Rio I am very pleased with my purchase. Upon coming to the dealership I wasn't quite sure that I was going to be able to trade in my used car that I still owed on. I have never bought a brand new car before and especially never bought anything from a big dealership, such as KIA. To my surprise I ended up walking away with a brand new car, which I'm very pleased with. I was given wonderful customer service from the moment I walked onto the dealership. Robbie done a wonderful job in helping me with my purchase, he was very helpful and did everything possible to put me into something reliable along with what I could afford. Even the other employees congratulated me on my new purchase and would ask if i needed anything else. They all were so great and friendly. The dealership it's self is very nice and easy to find that perfect car your looking for. I love my new car and can honestly say that I will continue to do business with KIA. Overall my experience was wonderful.

I was in the market for a car that was good on gas, roomy, and not ugly. I knew I wanted a new one, that way I was sure it hadn't been dogged by anyone lacking decent driving skills. Honestly, I had no clue as to what I wanted or if I truely wanted one right then. However, after scoping out the many choices... friendly and patient saleman . . . Jim Moir, let me take a spin in the 2014 Kia Forte and gave me a deal I couldn't pass up. He offered to let me check out any and all cars . . . but the Forte became my Labor Day present to myself ... and it didn't take long for the deal to go through...even on a holiday.

The Kia Optima that I purchased for my wife is awesome. It has all the options she wanted and we got it for the right price and Hassle free. I am glad I took the time and drove to Hickory It saved me a lot of money and we got the exact car we were looking for. Thanks again, Doug Smith

Purchasing a new vehicle meant stepping into a whole new world. I was very timid and hesitant. Patrick talked to me about the details of what I was looking for, my price range, my likes and dislikes. He never showed me a vehicle that was above what I said I was looking for and offered me several options to choose from. Being that I still personally wanted a little more, we still splurged and ended up with a little bit more pricey of a vehicle. But, over one month later, I could not be happier and more satisfied as a proud new fiery red Kia owner! Thanks Patrick & thanks Paramount! I already do and will continue to recommend you to any and everyone that is looking to purchase a new or used vehicle

Billboards around Hickory were advertising 120% of Blue Book Value on trade in. I bought my 2011 Kia Sportage from Paramount Kia in Feb 2011. I got a fair deal and have received good service over the past 2 1/2 years. When I went to Paramount Kia last Wednesday to look at the new Optima's, Justin greeted me in a very professional manner. I told him what I was looking for in a car from my reviews on the internet. Justin lead me to the color and package on the Optima that I was looking for. He reviewed the car with me and we went for a quick test drive. Justin gave no pressure and told me if I was interested to bring my car back when I had time and he would get it appraised. I went back to see Justin on Saturday morning. He looked up my current car on auto trader and gave me a figure they would buy it for straight out. He got the head appraiser to appraise my car for trade in and the value was better. Justin made sure I was aware of the rebates and the 2 different financing options available from Kia. With all this info and another test drive I made my deal with Justin. He did a great job and followed up on Monday to see if everything was ok. I would recommend the dealership to anyone and please be sure to deal with Justin if you go. He is very professional.Great Job Guys!!!Trey Brown

What can I say other than that Jim Richardson is a great sales consultant. I mean he was so very kind and friendly and he made sure I was well taken care of. He went over all the paper work in great detail and made sure I understood everything about that and my purchase. Jim is someone who I consider a great asset to Paramount Kia of Hickory and also a great friend.

Knowing that we would soon have a new addition to the family, it was time to sell the truck and get a second family vehicle. After my Wife and I had gone to 3 different Kia Dealerships, Paramount Kia finally had the answers. Other Kia dealers in the area couldn't even match prices! We found the vehicle we were interested in online, walked in the dealership, gave Jim Moir the stock number, he retrieved the vehicle immediatley, and took us for a test drive. Jim Couldn't have been nicer. He knew everything about the car, and even answered a lot of my questions before I could even ask, and was very understanding about our specific situation. After the test drive we re-entered the dealership to talk over the numbers. I gave Jim a number that I wanted as a monthly payment and within an hour between him and the Finance manager, they matched the payment. Actually, toward the end of the process I learned that they did better then just match it, they got my monthly payment even lower then I could of though possible with the down payment I had. This is thanks to their great insentives!I know Paramount Kia is glad to keep my business with them, but in the end I'm glad my business is with them instead of some of the other dearlerships I delt with in the last few weeks!!! These are the reasons why I left Paramount Kia with a Brand New Car! Thanks Again JIM MOIR

When I visited Paramount Kia, they had just what I was looking for. They weren't pushy, not trying too hard to sell a car. When I walked into the place, Jason asked if anyone was helping me when I said "no", he was eager to help. We took the car for a test drive, he explained everything about the car, gave me his personal number and said if I had any questions not to hesitate to call him. That was above and beyond service. They were friendly and I would definitely recommend this dealership to others.

Seen a 2013 kia sorento online.....went in to look at the vehicle....was greeted by Cathy Rivas with a warm and friendly smile...she immediately pulled the car under the covered drive area due to the rain....we test drove the vehicle around the block..... Cathy was very informative and not pushy at all she was one of the best sales people. We started the process which didn't take long at all. She was great with my little one and kept him occupied while we waited. We ended up taking the car home after she happily gave us a half a tank of gas :) I love my new sorento and will def go back when its times to trade :) - Teresa

The rating was given because the sales team answered all the questions we had given them. They did not hesitate about any questions and were honest about each vehicle. They helped direct us to what vehicle they thought would fit us best and did a great job.

I drove 2 hours to look a a car that was not there when I arrived. Someone called me as we were leaving town to make sure we were coming. The car was out on loan to some friend of someone, It finally arrived after around 45 minutes of waiting. The car was not nearly as nice as described, many scratches on the interior, and drove like it had lived a rough 50k miles. Some sort of chocolate substance in the passenger side air vent. This is the first dealership I have ever seen that charged a $599 processing fee and a $94 tag fee,this should be listed on the web page. I've been trading cars for 22 years now, and thought I'd seen it all.Some of the problem may be mine, as I guess I should ask for an older salesman from now on.My advise would be, that if you're really spending $150,000 on advertising every month, save some money and work on word of mouth. If you're traveling far, don't waste time on this dealership.

Melissa was great to work with. None of the pressure that one might expect from a car sales person. She answered my questions and discussed the features of the cars in a straight forward manner. My one disappointment in the experience was how long it took to find out the final numbers of the deal. It seemed there was only one employee available and a long line of customers. I think I waited nearly 90 minutes. Thankfully Melissa was easy to be with. I am happy with the car itself. I'm one of those people who don't dicker on the price, so I'm not sure I got a great deal. But in speaking with friends afterward, I don't think I got a bad one either. I'm really pleased with the gas consumption. A tank of gas got me further and for less than my previous vehicle. Overall, a good experience. Thank you!

This is not my first experience with Paramount KIA, two years ago we bought a new SADONA for my wife Judy. I liked the car and the dealership, So when I had her car in for an oil change I went over to the car lot and talked to Jim Richardson about a used car. I was pressed for time and I told him I would be back later that night. I came back with my wife, talked to Jim, test drove a couple vehicles. Jim has a nice way about him, no pressure, very knowledgeable on the cars. When I decided on the 2011 SORENTO he went over all the functions of the switches etc of the vehicle and we did another test drive where he showed how they work like the down hill break control and(important to me) the hill start assist, reading about it or just explaining it was not the same as doing it . I really liked that feature, my driveway is really steep as most places in the Hickory area. Finalization of the deal went smooth no pressure. I drove the car home that night. I/m very satisfied the way Jim Richardson handled everything and was their through the whole process...also for pairing my cell phone to the blue tooth feature.

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 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!!!!

My buying experience at Paramount Kia was great. The staff is courteous, helpful, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. I researched the models online, wrote down the stock number of the vehicle I was interested in, and took it to the dealership. I told my salesman that I wanted to test-drive that specific vehicle, and he found it for me. It had most of the features I wanted. The upgraded audio package is definitely worth it because it is amazing. I am enjoying the sunroof since the weather has warmed up. The rear back-up camera is a wonderful safety feature. It is nice having Bluetooth in the car, as well. I just love my Kia Soul. I have transported all kinds of things in the roomy cargo area (with the back seats down). It is surprising how much can fit back there. The gas mileage is wonderful. I would definitely recommend Paramount Kia to anyone looking for a great car.

I came to look at the new Kia Optima's and was greeted by Mr. Jim Richardson, he was very nice and professional the entire time we spent there. what was to be just a look at the new cars turned into a sale. We fell inlove with the new Kia Optima's and Mr. Richardson was very good at working with us to get the best price he could and showing us all the features on the car and how to work them. we appreciate the buisness and hope to do more with you in the future.

Jim Moir is an excellent sales person. From my first call until I completed the sale, and even after with follow up calls, he was courteous, patient, professional, and prompt in all of our conversations. I feel he went out of his way to provide me with accurate information, financing, and a timely delivery. In fact, my thanks and appreciation to all the great staff who assisted Jim and myself throughout this transaction. Yes I would recommend Paramount Kia. An excellent place to do business.

I went to Paramount Kia because of the television advertisement stating that they had lenders to qualify any buyer. I was expecting to be turned down because of my financial situation. Sandra, in a most courteous manner, made an appointment for me. I was greeted professionally and sincerely when I arrived. Sandra introduced me to Steven who inquired about my price range and showed me what vehicles were available. My teenage daughter spotted a Hyundai Tucson, and Steven suggested we take it for a test drive. We liked the way the vehicle looked, drove, and handled. Back at the dealership, Steven suggested that I fill out the paperwork for a loan. I was given privacy to speak to my husband about the purchase. I felt more encouraged than I did pressured. Steven took the papers to Daryl who go me approved with no money down!!! Plus, I received a fabulous interest rate!! Again I was encouraged to discuss the payments with my husband and given the privacy to do so. Not only are my daughter and I happy with our purchase, but my husband was very happy when he saw the Tucson and took it for a spin. I have already begun encouraging people to shop Paramount Kia if they are in the business for another vehicle.

We will definitely use this dealership for our future needs.

I am very appreciative of all the "follow up" from this KIA dealership - the e-mails from Patrick and the dealership. I was impressed that this dealership offered a "thank you event" where they had some food and raffle drawings for prizes. No one left empty handed. If you didn't win a prize you still got a nice coffee travel mug and a Starbucks card. So far my KIA is performing well. I love the gas milegage! Thank you.

I fell in love with the car! They appraissed my trade and blew me away with my trade in value (more than double) and sent me into finance. It was a simple painless process. James took care of me in finance and waited till I got the BEST possible rate and helped me become secure with GAP and my extra warranty!! Hands down the best dealership in the area. I enjoyed it so much...my partner and i went back on Tuesday and bought a second car off of Cathy!! They really do their job well. Go see Cathy she hook you up!!

I brought my 2012 Sorento in to Paramount a bit ahead of its scheduled maintenance. I did so because of what I perceived as a problem which was a noise coming from the console. On the day of my appointment I was greeted by Joel and he wrote the work order up and I also got the maintenance work done as well as a car wash to wash away the winter road salt. I was also greeted by Preston who I always enjoy talking with and catching up with all the latest local events and news. I was given a ride to the mall where I stayed for two hours John picked me promptly at the appointed time and brought me back to the service department. My car was ready. It had been cleaned and serviced. The noise which I thought was a problem was normal and turned out not to be a problem according to the service tech. Joel instructed me to keep an eye out or in my case an ear out if it got louder or changed in anyway to bring it back and they would change out the part. At this time I am satisfied with the work performed by everyone at Paramount Kia service and recomend Paramount to anyone considering buying a new or used vehicle.R Bowman

Salesman was the best ever, planning on a lifelong relationship with him when I buy my next vehicle. When it came to signing the contract, the guy wouldn't give me a minute to just pray and feel good about signing for the vehicle. My husband sensed what I needed and got him involved in a conversation so that I could have those few moments that I needed to feel God's reassuring presence. I then signed all the paperwork and now own a beautiful 2012 Sorento that I absolutely adore. Thank you for your help and support.One more thing: I am very impressed by the magazines and signage hanging around your business that refers to and completely supports 106.9 The Light. It is my favorite radio station and walking the Christian walk is not an easy one. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

I purchased a used car on Jan 21st this year from Paramount Kia of Hickory and was very happy with the service I received. I had been searching for a newer car for a couple months so I had visited several websites and dealerships and this was the 1st dealership that I visited that didn't chase me down in the parking lot. All the cars that we looked at had a carfax already in the car so we didn't have to ask for one. Our salesman ( Phil Philyaw) wasn't pushy or harassing and once we decided on a vehicle, he wrote everything up and took care of all the paper work including adding the car to my insurance policy. I would recommend that anyone looking for a auto to check out Paramount Kia . They have 3 dealerships all next to one another so there is a large variety of vehicles to choose from. Ask for Phil Philyaw, he was a great salesman. Tell him Greg & Tammy Sullivan sent you! :)

I took the car to the service department within a week or two of purchasing the car. Very helpful and friendly group. Dropping off and picking up the car was quick and easy. They checked an indicator message for me, and fixed a light while they had it. I was surprised and very pleased, that they fixed these items for me at no charge, since I had just purchased the car. My first impressions are that they want to take care of their customers, to keep them coming back.

Recently, I conducted a search within a 50 mile radius of my home to find a Ford Mustang GT. Your facility showed up with the car I was looking for, with a price range that was within my budget. Car salesman, Brent Huffman, was a pleasure to deal with and I will be more than happy to give them my repeat business in the future, as well as offer a complimentative word of mouth recommendation to others.Thanks again, It was a pleasure doing business with you...Greg MathisHendersonville,N.C.

My husband & I appreciate the great service we received when we purchased our new Kia Optima. This is the reason why we rated the above questions as great. We highly recommend Paramount Kia to others interested in purchasing a new or used vehicle.

I received wonderful service from the two salesmen from the time I called and the time I arrived to the time I left. The sales team really seemed focused in the needs of the customer and really listen before coming to a conclusion of what best fits that individual. Jim and Patrick made it an easier transition for me... I would recommend this dealership to anyone because they truly seem to care and I drove an hour to this dealership.Regards, LHBelmont, NC

Brought my Sorento in for maintenance/service and a wash. I did not have to wait was greeted by Preston, who always has a smile, mycar was taken to the service dept. I caught a ride to the mall to finish my christmas shopping. I returned a couple hours later my car was finished and shiney parked in the completed lot and ready. This was not my first experience with Paramount Kia and won't be my last. Preston and his guys do great work and are professionals in every aspect. I would not hesitate to recomend Paramount Kia for any car needs.by: Rick Bowman

I took my Kia Soul in for my regular service right before Christmas and the service department was great! I was greeted with a smile and they said that it would be ready in about 45 minutes. Within the time frame they brought my car back around and said it was done. The only thing is they had to slide my seat back to drive it around and didn't try to put it back, when I got in my short legs couldn't reach the pedals. Other than that I have no complaints about the service department.

What an amazing experience. I had to purchase a car due to being able to help provide for my aging mother. I had limited resources and funds, yet they were able to help me understand what I needed and was able to purchase. They were patient, yet quick and efficient when I had made up my mind. They were also very caring. I did not feel rushed, or as if i was just another number. I would recommend Paramount Kia in Hickory, NC for your next car need. I owned a Kia spectra, and now am the proud owner of a 2013 Kia Forte. Thanks guys!!!!!

We came to Paramount Kia because we knew we needed to trade our Tahoe for a car that would be more economical. But we hadn't had the tahoe barely a year so we really thought that we wouldn't be able to do anything yet. But we were dreaming and trying to plan for the future. Along came Steven Watts, we talked with him about our needs. And before we knew it we were on our way home in a 2013 Soul!!!I mean literally, we left Taylorsville at 3pm and came to Paramount in Hickory. We were on our way home in this brand new car at 6:30pm. We kept looking at each other saying, "I can't believe it!"Thank you all so much for making this happen for our family! We are telling everyone we know, whether their looking for a car or not, to come to Paramount of Hickory.

Dealing with your Service Writer Jason Stuebe is ALWAYS a pleasure. Having worked for a GM dealer and a Nissan dealer in the past, both as sales/finance and in service I know how dealers work and I honestly prefer to deal with a dealership's trained staff. I was so very impressed with the Greater Charlotte Biz article on Mr. Yount. So much so, that I purchased a copy of The Richest Man Who Ever Lived: King Solomons Secrets to Success, Wealth, and Happiness for my husband for Christmas. Keep up the great work!Laura Wahlers

He treated me like a person and not like a sales or paycheck. Everyone was so kind and helpful. They were very excited for me. I love my new car it is awesome.

Today I went in for my 15,000 mile service on my 2012 Soul. When I arrived I spoke with Jason. I showed him the trim that needed repairing and the carpet. As he was writing up my order I asked him about the mileage reimbursement being offered by Kia. After my car was serviced Jason came to me with the information that the trim piece is ordered and covered under my warranty. ALong with that the information that my car was one of the models and how to get my reimbursement. AWESOME!! I was very pleased with Jason.

I have been going to Paramount Kia for nearly all of my routine maintenance for the past four years.

My family and I went out looking for a new car to purchase. From the time we entered the parking lot we were greeted and treated the way customers are supposed to be treated. They listened to what I was looking for and I test drove a few cars. Once my mind was made up, we signed a few papers and that was it! I would recommend this car buying experience to everyone who is looking for excellence service. Most definitely a five star business!!

I bought my Kia Sportage at the Hickory Kia I didn't have to spend the day just to get a good deal. Everyone was very helpful. Phillip Buckbee was my salesman and I was extremely satisfied with his knowledge and the way he handled my purchase, he got the low payment that i needed. Thank you Mr. Buckbee. I have had it serviced once since my purchase and the service department was great i got an oil change and tires rotated and it seemed like it took no time at all i didn't even get to finish a magazine i was looking through.

I received a coupon via email from Paramount Kia of Hickory. When I arrived at the dealership they were not aware of this coupon. A company that had been doing their promotions had created it. It was such a great deal, I couldn't pass it up. Even though this coupon had not been authorized by them, they promptly honored it. They gave me great service with a friendly attitude as always.

I love my car and the price. My salesman was Tim Whitener and he was incredibly helpful. My service advisor on many occasions was Preston Wood. He has a great personality and has always exceeded what we expected. Yes, I'd buy another car from them in the future. Thanks, Linda Carter Malsich Ps. Sold my new husband Bob on Kias and gave him the Sorrento as primary driver. He loves it. He was a Honda driver for over ten years.I was A Toyota driver for over ten years.

Jim was very helpful when my husband and I started looking for a vehicle. We were on the lot for about 3-5 minutes before Jim approached us and started to review the vehicles we were looking at. We were not able to stay very long on our initial visit and Jim gave us his card and we said we would call him. We called Jim and he was gracious enough to set aside time for us to come in and look at the vehicle again. We took it for a test drive and started the paperwork. I would say from the start of our second visit until the time we signed the paperwork on the purchase took us around 4 hours. For someone who detests the "traditional car shopping experience" I was very pleased with the experience at Paramount Kia and with Jim Richardson. I would refer my family and friends to him and the dealership without any hesitation.

Back in July of this year (2012) my wife and I went Paramount KIA of hickory to buy a new Kia Soul and all we got was I'll sell this one 2011 and you buy a warranty for it. I told the sellman that we were paying cash and we wanted a new Kia Soul. He didn't believe me and just gave the run around. I told my wife that we were leaving this place and go some where else and buy. We payed cash for a 2013 Kia soul at a another dealer

I was extremely satisfied with my first car buying experience. Brent was extremely helpful, and made the entire process very quick and painless. Whenever I asked to test drive a car, he made sure that I was able to drive on multiple roads and enviroments to see how the car handled in each enviroment. When I got back to the dealership, I knew that I wanted the car I had test drove, so we went inside to do paperwork. An hour later, and I drove off the lot with my new car. I'm extremely satisfied with Paramount Kia of Hickory. I know for a fact I will be returning for another car. Thanks Brent for making my experience so enjoyable!

I had been researching dodge calibers online and they had one that was exactly what I was looking for, Dustin was super nice and walked me through the entire process and was very patient with me. I told him that this was the first car I've ever bought and he told me to take my time and pick the right car. Awesome salesman! No high pressure sales tactics, just nice, honest, and friendly person. I love the dodge that Dustin put me in and I will defiantly used paramount Kia for my next purchase. Thanks again Dustin!

Met Brent when I walked in the door. He took my Credit Union Test Market Paper and guided me to the correct person. Eventhough they were busy, he stayed with me showed me a seat and passed the time chatting until I could see the coordiantor. Then afterwards he guided me thru the purchase of my new car with ease I've never know. No games, no BS, no running back and forth to the manager. Everything straight forward and honest. I really enjoyed the car buying experince for the first time. Thanks so very much.

We went to the dealership because of a paper we received in the mail. We did not expect to be able to get a car at all. When we arrived at the dealership we were greeted cordially and directed to the person that we were to see. After completing his part we were directed to Jim Moir who was very friendly and cordial. He was very polite as he went about gathering the information he needed to complete the application to get a car. Everyone was very kind in getting everything done that needed to be done and much to our surprise we were approved and left with a newer car than we had. Due to their cordiality and efficient manner I would recommend this to anyone.

From the moment that my wife and I stepped on the lot, everyone at Paramount Kia Hickory was kind & helpful. They listened to my needs and helped me find exactly what I was looking for, and I couldn't be happier with my purchase. My 2009 Kia Spectra was a great deal for mileage and was still under warranty, makes my wife's commute much more pleasant and is a great looking little car. Even if you don't have a lot to spend I'm sure the great staff at Paramount Kia can help to get you into a great car.

My buying experience with Paramount Kia has been one of the best buying experiences I have ever had. Scott Bryant was very friendly and informative of the Sorento. From the start he showed several different types of the Sorento but was never pushy and didn't make us feel like we had to buy the car. I will absolutely recommend Paramount Kia and Scott Bryant to all of my friends and family members who are interested in buying a new or used car and I hope that one day in the future I will be able to do further business with all of you. Thank you very much!Sincerely,Andrew and Sherry Trivette

From our very first email with Paramount Kia, we were treated so wonderfully. The customer service we experienced was far better than we have received anywhere else. Phil Philyaw was so professional and kind through the whole process. He went above anything we expected out of a dealership. He worked hard for us to make sure we got the best deal for our money and the right car. We bought a new Sedona from Paramount and we just love it. Phil even stayed late to come out and show us every detail about our new van so we knew where everything was and how it worked before we drove it off the lot. The customer service at Paramount is top notch. Darryl the finance manager is one of the nicest guys you can work with. He is patient and respectful. Something hard to find for consumers these days. I would not hesitate to send anyone there for a new car.

Came in for service on my Kia Optima left with new Sorento. My husband and I decided while we were waiting ,we would just take a look around to kill time. We had jokingly discussed getting new vehicle... Patrick was great, answered all our questions. More important,he listened. When it was time for the test drive, turned it over to me, as the primary vehicle driver, not my husband. He understood my happiness with the vehicle would be the most important. Can honestly say, that although MY last 2 cars were from the same dealership, this was the first time the salesman thought about MY experience behind the wheel. Would recommend this dealership!! As I said, have now bought 3 cars from them. Welive approx 40 miles away near Charlotte and it is worth the drive.

In the past five years this is the third KIA I have purchased from Paramount KIA in Hickory, NC and each of my purchases exceeded my expectations. I have been very pleased with the overall value of each vehicle which probably brought me back the second time, but the helpfulness of the staff brought me back for my third vehicle. I highly recommend Paramount KIA and especially my "car guy" Patrick Butler for any of your new or used vehicle needs.

Based on my experience with Ted, I would not recommend this dealership. He was unfriendly and unwelcoming. I went in with a specific purpose, to test drive to different vehicles so that I could see what I liked and didn't liked. He cared more about the sale and not me as a customer. He continued to ask what was my trade in and what did I want to finance. This is not how you start a sale. I didn't want to talk about this b/c I was unsure what I wanted. I asked for a new salesperson, Phillip, who was fantastic. I was told later that Phillip said to Ted that I did not want to work with him and Ted said, Well, I don't want to work with her either. Phillip and I were both flabbergasted. I couldn't believe it. Don't be in sales if you're not a people person.Phillip...I HIGHLY recommend. Ted...NEVER.

27 de jul. de 2012

Ted was very helpful and informative, not pushy at all, but instead willing to listen to my needs and budget and find me a car that would suit both. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming. I was surprised how easy and painless this car buying experience compared to others I have had in the past. I will definately Paramount and Ted to anyone I know in need of automotive assistance.Sincerely,Gina Barrier (Fleming)

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, 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.

I really despise buying a new vehicle. It seems that the salesmen are always pushy and multiple people try and gang up on you. Well, much to my surprise, it is still possible to purchase a new car and ENJOY the experience. Starting with email messages that answered all of my questions, the initial meeting of the salesman, the test drive and the salesmans expert knowledge of the product. Then there was the actual sale and multiple follow-ups.I would be extremely remiss if I didnt say that Patrick Butler gave myself and my wife the kindness, thoughtfulness and courteous service that should be accorded someone that is about to write a check for a large sum of money. And he did not stop when the check was in his hand. Based on this experience I have and will continue to recommend Patrick and the staff of Paramount Kia and when my need for another vehicle comes, my first stop will be Paramount.Keith G. Lohr, Jr.

Ted was very helpful with my purchase. He streamlined the process, making it as painless as possible. I would recommend this dealership to my friends and family, and hope they continue their exceptional service with my family, in the future.

This is the fourth car I have purchased from Tim at Paramount Kia. I have been very pleased with the autos that we have purchased and we really like dealing with Tim. It was a pleasure doing business there again. I will continue to contact Tim for future automotive needs.

We were impressed with Brent Huffman's knowledge of the car we test drove. He answered all our questions easily and demonstrated the cars attributes convincingly. We would recommend the dealership based on his good work. We are impressed with the car and are enjoying driving it.

My whole experience was positive. I received a call within a few min of contacting Paramount kia via live chat. Ted called me and we set up an appointment. He was there waiting on me. He showed me a car that I could afford and went over every detail of the car. We then drove through the service and maintance dept along with seeing the detailing dept. After the test drive, we went in and done the number and then waited for the response from the banks. I didn't buy the car until my husband came and saw the vehicle and Ted once again repeated everything for my husband. Ted is a great sales guy and I would work with him again. I will be returning to buy another vehicle from Paramount. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

We were looking to buy a new Soul and there were still a few left on the lot. Jason was very knowledgable on the vehical and helped us get a great deal. He was also willing to stay late and make sure the car was well prepped before we left. We will definately be back to this dealership because the service was terrific. Thanks for the great vehicle!

From the moment I first contacted them via live chat through their website I was treated with respect and care. I gave them my financial background and trade information and was given an appointment for the same day by Brittany. Normally I am hesitant to work with car dealers because of how stressful and discouraging it can be given my credit history and lack of knowledge for purchasing automobiles. They completely debunked any previous experience I had. In the past I've walked away with a headache, a sour stomach and an overall bad feeling of wondering if I just did the right thing or did they see me coming from a mile away! None of that was present at Paramount Kia. Phily Philyaw displayed a level of customer service that belied his years. He was attentive to my concerns and my wants and in the end delivered what has come to be my most favorite car ever! And I was driving a Caddie before this Kia! Thank you to David for the deal on the dark cherry Kia Sorrento LOADED! and for taking my Escalade ESV with 157,000 miles off my hands! Thank you to Brittany for your inital contact with me that was informing and considerate enough to bring me into your business. And thank you to James McElroy for the explanation of the financial paperwork. I appreciate you even though you are a Carolina fan! Thanks again!

We had a wonderful experience at Paramount Kia. We really was not sure if we were going to purchase a new car at this time but after our visit to Paramount Kia and driving a 2012 Kia Soul we were ready to purchase. The whole purchasing process went smoothly and we got to drive our new car home that night. A special thanks to Patrick Butler and the finance department for a great experience. We would recommend Paramount Kia to anyone looking to purchase a car.

Had to purchase 2nd key, had less than 1/4 tank of gas upon delivery, added extended warranty without my permission costing me larger payments for less time. Emission problem to engine after 2nd week of use. Finance man, James, took it upon himself to add extended warranty without my permission. Salesman too busy to recognize me when I came back for a problem.

Jason was very rude and didnt want to work with us. Apparently I wasnt worth his time. I dont feel it is unreasonable for me to look at various models to find what I like. Looks, design, mileage, etc. a car is a very large and expensive purchase. Excuse me for wanting to be informed. I would love to get a 2012 that's used and by the fall or next year... I'll find one. No, my credit isnt the best However, I didnt want to misinform or exaggerate my credit score, its not bad. The fact that I like to generally like to take care of my things and keep them for a while; how dare me go ahead and fault me. Marsha was very nice and apologized profusely for his horrible and poor customer service. That type of behavior isnt condoned under their policies, she said. I do hope this was brought to his attention. I might very well bring my business back. However, I feel their prices are pretty high for the mileage of their product and I also feel that the tale of mileage was stretched. Ill admit I am not well versed in cars, but 40MPG on a midsize car seems somewhat unrealistic.My appoligieze for wanting to shop around and get an idea of what I am looking for before investing $20,000 into something. Yes, I would love to spend less than $10,000 but I have yet to set a budget because I havent decided what I want. Isnt that nice to be able to do that....funny how not taking the time and being rude will take money by prejudging people will make you lose out. Yes, this was brought to the attention of a customer service rep.

I checked with other dealerships and Paramount Kia of Hickory NC was the best. They were very informative, courteous, and friendly. They went above and beyond to help with anything that was of concern. Kristopher Stevens was a very outstanding sales person. I feel like Paramount Kia is fortunate to have a sales person like him. Paramount Kia has a very nice showroom and extremely clean. I would highly recommend sending anyone to purchase a vehicle from Paramount Kia!

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 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.

After hours of research on the internet, we drove over fifty miles to Kia of Hickory to purchase our second Kia Sorento. Having successfully driven a Sorento for eight years and 126,000 miles, we did not have to be sold on the brand or model. However the particular features that we wanted on a 2012 model were not easy to find at this time; thus the trip to Hickory. The very nice salesman I had spoken with prior to our visit was unavailable when we arrived due to a family emergency, but Phillip Buckbee, a very pleasant fellow, took over. He could not have been more helpful. He even took us on a test drive of the Kia Soul just for fun. Although they had three cars with the features we wanted, the colors were much too dark for our dusty roads. They then agreed to bring a car in for us from another dealer in NC. After some consideration, they, in turn, offered to sell us a 2013 model at the same fair price we had negotiated, and thus avoid the hassle of getting a car from a distant dealer. We agreed, but had to go home to arrange our finances to purchase the car with a good sized down payment. Two days later we returned to pick up our beautiful pearly white SUV with black trim which offered the fuel economy and convenience package that was important to us. To prevent my getting lost in town, Phillip even drove me to a local bank to secure a cashier's check. Before we headed for home, he explained and helped us set up the new technology on the 2013. We loved our 2004, but I think we will love this one even more. If you visit Kia of Hickory, I can assure you that Phillip Buckbee will treat you with respect and make buying a car a pleasure.

I stopped by the delaership for an oil change in my Sportage and was looking at the new vehicles. Ted Keener walked up and introduced himself and told me all about the new Soul that I was looking at, I was very impressed with his product knowledge and expertise. 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.

I purchased a 2012 Kia Optima and walking into the dealership not knowing exactly what I wanted in a car changed my mind when I drove the Optima. I never bought a new car by myself especially being young and stupid and having a repo on my credit. He was experienced and knows the car inside out. I would have been lost without any help. He was friendly and get you out of there fast as possible. Works hard to find you a good finance deal. Gives you all the information you needed to know.. I would recommend this dealership to anyone especially new owners like myself..

I had the best experience at Paramount Porsche, Volvo, VW! Matthew was great. He is honest and up front. He gave me a great deal right off the bat and didn't play the "car dealer games". No running back and forth to "the manager" or any of that nonsense. I plan on doing all my future car business with Paramount and I highly recommend them to anyone! My only regret is that I can only give 5 stars, I would give more if I could!

Speaking with Phillip before we came into the dealership he was very helpful. When we met him at the dealership he was very friendly new what we wanted. The sales was handled quickly by him and the finance manager. HE explained everything about our new car. I would recommend your dealership to other people. It was not a high pressure operation that you often see with car dealerships.

Worked with Mike on my purchase he was new to sales. Even though he was new he was Really good at following up and making sure to take care of all my questions, concerns that I had. Was impressed by team work that was there on the sale and to answer my questions. Love the car the price was good and I didn't even consider shopping else where. Only thing that I didn't like was the was the finance person can remember his name (young guy)that finished my paper work, He was NOT friendly no introduction or eye contact basically he acted like he was pissed ( maybe he couldn't sell extended warranty). He needs to be in wash bay dept or working for DMV, he not a person that I would consider working with the public.

I would recommend Paramount Kia to a friend as well as encouraging them to deal with Tim Whitener.

They did everything they could to make this process as smooth and painless as possible and I have had the car almost a month now and I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!

The folks at Paramount are very friendly, helpful and honest. They know their products and make the purchasing experience non-stressful. I never felt that I was being pushed, just helped. When I'm in the market for a new car again, my first stop will be at Paramount.

I went there looking at a car I had saw online, but was immediately steered away from the $6600 car to one that was nearer to $12,000, I presume because the sales man wanted a bigger commission. I knew right out the gate that I didn't have the best credit in the world, knew what I could afford. But that didn't matter as the sales man seemed to have his own agenda. we constantly had to repeat things to him and not just twice but 4 and 5 times. I had filled out an application before I came in but that just seemed to be a way to get you on the lot. We wasted a whole afternoon being put through the ringer only to be turned down for the $12,000 vehicle, which I knew and said we would be. I will never step foot on or buy anything foot any Paramount lot again.

My experience was horrendous with this dealer. I went in to buy a car and was originally told that my financing did not go through. I left the dealership disappointed but okay. They called me back less than 30 minutes later and told me it worked out and I could get the car. I took it home and drove it for 3 weeks. It was registered in my name and the tag was issued to me and it was in my insurance. I had signed paperwork even. Then 3 weeks later they called and made me bring it back saying that the financing did not go.through. Never deal with them.

My initial interaction with Paramount Kia was awesome. Noah Beadle graciously greeted me and was eager to assist in any way possible. I am quite certain that Noah was not going to benefit from the service he offered me, as I was only locating a vehicle for our Lessor, which would make the sale more of a "house"sale, but Noah didn't mind at all and was still very eager to help in any way possible. I told him exactly what I wanted, we test drove the vehicle, and he closed the sale within an hour's time. Noah answered all the questions I had for him and provided me with everything I needed. Couldn't have asked for anything more! It took our leasing company a month to finalize everything (it was during the holiday season) but Noah was very patient and followed up weekly with me. Finally, I received confirmation that the transactions were final and I could p/u the vehicle.Then, I made an appointment to pick-up the vehicle. I only had a small window of time, but felt all I needed to do was sign a few documents and be on my way. Didn't happen. Whether it was the fault of PHH (the company leasing the vehicle for us)or Paramount Kia, I was having to call for information and provide info that should have been handled prior to my arrival. My experience with Daryl Horton, F&I Manager, was a nightmare. This individual does not understand the meaning of southern hospitality or customer service. While I understand these characteristics are not crucial for his role at Paramount Kia, they are essential for success. I would recommend this dealership; however, I would suggest that Paramount send Mr. Horton to some type of customer service basics so that he might step back and look at the manner in which he interfaces with a customer.

I saw a vehicle advertised on the internet and called to inquire about it. The salesman answered all of my questions on the phone, verified the price and gave me a solid price for the vehicle (out the door) at that time. I went by the dealership a few days later and checked on the vehicle in person. The vehicle was there and was exactly as listed. The price was honored and it did not take longe for the purchase to be completed. The persons that I dealt with were friendly, straight forward and expedited the process.

When I decided to purchase a 2012 Kia Soul, I did a lot of research online and then finally set up an appointment at Paramount Kia in Hickory to take a test drive. I was very impressed with the comfort, peformance, and features of the Soul and decided that it was the car for me. My sales person, Patrick Butler, was very knowledgeable of the Kia Soul and answered all of my questions. He also told me a lot about the Soul that I didn't know already. His knowledge of the car, its features, and options made it even easier for me to make my purchase decision. As we all know, the test drive and demonstration of a new car is the fun part. The 'work' portion of a new car purchase starts when you sit down in the salesman's office and start talking about the numbers. Patrick Butler made this process quite easy and he went over all the numbers in detail with me. We agreed on a price for the car along with my trade-in. I ran into some unexpected problems with the Carfax report on my trade-in during the negotiation process. I needed to stop the progress of my purchase and make some phone calls to sort out those issues. Patrick had no problem with me taking the time I needed to get that sorted out. I felt no pressure of any kind during my visit to Paramount Kia. Before I went to the dealership, I had visited my credit union to set up financing in advance. I got a pretty good interest rate from them, but Paramount Kia negotiated an even better rate for me, so I ended up financing through the dealership instead. I have no complaints at all with this dealership and my experience of purchasing a new car from them. I LOVE my Kia Soul!

We went to the dealership to look at a few cars until we found the perfect car we wanted to buy, numbers were written up for THE CAR we wanted and was told we were going to recieve, we left while waiting for a approval and soon after got a phone call saing we were approved for the loan with 1000 down we were excited to go get the car we had agreed on and to go pick it up! upon arriving at the dealership we were told THEY changed the car WE PICKED OUT to another compartive car that had alot less features and one that we hadn't even seen or agreed upon. which was a huge shock and dissappointment, what was a even bigger shock was the manager coming at us yelling and throwing a tamtrum in the middle of the store embarrassing us and himself! telling us it is the same car which it most defintely not! not the same features different colors and stripped all down. the manager couldn't see the difference between a nice greenish, all the bells and whistles car to a plain stripped down black one? then repeatly said well buy this one I don't care what one you buy this one will just cost you 100 dollars a more a month, buy what ever one you want but this one will be more, we don't care was repeated over at least 5 times, we I think he should care, not throwing his hands up in the air and repeating buy this one or that one I don't care..like dealing with a 2 year old. very dissapointed! will let anyone who asks about where we bought it to not go there unless they like agreeing on a car and management switching it and then yelling at you about it in front of a crowd!We should have been told on the phone that we were approved for a different car than the one AGREED on! our saleman phil was nice and you could see he felt bad and was probably embrassed as well of the manager!

My experience with Paramount and your salesman Mr. Joel Kaufman was very positive. He answered every question I had about the Volkswagen Passat I purchased and other cars on the lot. I truly felt like more than just a quota trying to get met like I have before at other dealerships. Mr. Kaufman represents Paramount very well and I will definitely refer him as well as Paramount of Hickory to anyone I can. I can honestly say as a 42 year old man that this was my best car buying experience ever.

Saw a Titanium 2012 Forte Koup (manual trans) on the lot Sat night after they were closed & sent email on Sun. Spoke w/Jim Moir about it numerous times on Mon morning. We drove over 60 miles to BUY, only to be told that the car had actually been sold to another dealer's "customer" on Sat. afternoon. This car was STILL on the SALES LOT!!!! I called that particular Columbia SC Kia dealer to confirm. IRONICALLY, 4 days later - that SAME Forte Koup is listed on the Galeana Kia's website - SAME VIN NUMBER!!!!

Paramount is a large multi line dealership and we were able to easily check several competing models at the same location. My wife loved the Kia Optima and it was a very good value comparing "apples to apples" on features. I called first thing Monday morning and the receptionist took my information and she had Jim call when they cleared their sales meeting. He took my information on the car we were interested in and promised to call me right back with more information. Jim was true to his word and gave a great overvue and we set up a test drive. Long story short, we bought the car, Jim gave us the $.25 tour and was a very personable and knowledgeable salesman. Car was detailed and full of gas and my wife loves it.CheersBob W.

overall had a very good experience with this dealership and sales person that helped us. Patrick was very helpful and went over all the information with us thoroughly. I used their online per-approval tool and got a response immediately and a phone call from the customer care department withing just a few minutes. The only set back we had was not due to dealer but rather a lender issue and getting the desired interest rate we were hoping to get. The dealer did shop through the lenders and find us the lowest rate possible at the time. After purchasing the vehicle I have received several follow ups from the dealership and paramount kia staff. Paramount kia made the purchasing experience very easy and comfortable and I would recommend them over other kia dealerships that I have dealt with.

My wife and I drove 2.5 hours from Raleigh, NC to purchase our 2011 Optima EX from Paramount Kia. We found out they were the only dealer in NC to still have an EX turbo in Satin White. This is such a popular car that there isn't much negotiating when it comes to price, but Paramount still had a better sticker price for this car than a local dealer that we considered. Plus, we were able to use one of the loyalty incentives, and feel we got a good deal. We had spoken with Patrick the night before, and he verifed the Optima was still available. He also suggested we go ahead and do the online financing approval to help move the paperwork along. This was a good idea. We arrived at the dealer around 11:30 that morning and drove our Optima off the lot at 2:00 that afternoon. Patrick had made sure the vehicle was cleaned up, and ready for us to test drive when we arrived. Everything went smoothly, we couldn't we more pleased. Since we have brought the vehicle home, Patrick has already emailed us and called to see if we have any questions and if we are enjoying our new car. I would definitely recommend Paramount Kia and Patrick to anyone looking to purchase a vehicle.

We enjoyed everything about our dealing with Paramount Kia and with Brent Huffman.Brent was extremely helpful and knowlegeable about the cars. He was attentive to what we were looking for and he was a very nice and polite gentleman. I was also very impressed with the Christian music that was playing in the showroom. We would recommend Paramount Kia to our friends when they are looking for a vehicle.

I was very pleased with my purchase from Paramount. I visited the dealership the day before looking for a replacement for my Jeep. I saw an older Jeep on the lot with a good price. I spoke with a salesman about offers I had already been made for my current car. He said he believed he could meet the price. The next day I returned to drive the car and possibly purchase. The whole experience was positive. There was no hassle and the price wasn't changed due to "hidden fees". The salesman was very upfront and honest about the deal I could get. I appreciated the honesty. I would recommend the dealership to a friend. My husband went back the next week and traded his car for a 2012 Golf TDI. The experience was the same. Good price, no hassle, and friendly service. We will go back when the time comes to trade our current cars.

We bought our Second Kia from Paramount, a 2011 Sorento. The buying experience was good. We only have two unpleasant things worth mentioning. We had worked out all of our details of our purchase three days prior to our purchase date and we were still at the dealership three hours. Our sales person did not give us the details of our car untill we were leaving. Thankfully we had previously done our homework and knew what we wanted.Other than that our experience was good and we are pleased with our purchase. We will recommend this dealership to our friends with this advise "give yourself plenty of time and know what you want before you go."

Our daughter totaled our kia rio, so a friend gave us their uncle's old '92 olds. needless to say we had the car in repairs for most of the year we had it. we decided to go back to the kia dealership because we have a sadona and have never had any major repairs done to it. only regular maintance. we asked to speak to the sales man who sold us our first kia, but he recommend aimee to us. he was right she was so pleasent and helpful. we only had to deal with her and the guy in finance. only 2 people. i love it. we found a car that was great and fit into our budget.

I had a great experience at Paramont Kia in Hickory. We have been looking at new car for a while before we went to Kia. To tell the truth I did not want to get a Kia but I test drove the Kia Sorento and loved it. Brent Huffman was our sales representative and he was great. He was very friendly and listen to our needs in a new car. He also knew details about the cars he was selling. We had went to previous dealerships before and ask about different features on a vehecal and the sales person couldn't tell you much or stubbled through the answer. My experence at Paramont Kia was great and I love my new Kia Sorento. Thanks Brent Huffman for making me a Kia customer!

We were there for almost 4 hours but during the time Jason Auman was very friendly and knowledgable. Several different lenders were checked for the best interest rate possible for us. I'm very pleased with my SUV. This is the 3rd Kia we've owned. I would defineatley recommend Paramount Kia to my friends and family.

I found a fairly good price on a Kia Sorento on line and attempted to get some additional information from the the salesman at the dealership. I wanted to know how many vehicles they had with 4WD and what the prices might be with accompanying specifications.I made initial contact on line with a chat program on Paramount's website. I got some canned response e-mails but nothing along the line of what I needed.FINALLY, after five days, I did get a response that told me the stock number of a vehicle meeting my specs. After viewing the car on line, I had some questions concerning price. An answer to my questions was not forthcoming. I continued to receive canned mails. I made an appointment to go to the dealership after a few of my questions were answered.Finally, on the fifth day, I did find out some additional info but not what I had asked, so I again asked for specific pricing info. After receiving NOTHING for two more days, I canceled my appointment. THEN the salesman called and tried to find out some more info from me. I told him I was out of the market. He then read my e-mails, so he says, and provided some more info but not specifically what I had asked about.The most ridiculous part of his info was his quote of a "document fee" of $693!!! That is absolutely ridiculous and is nothing more than ADDITIONAL DEALER PROFIT!Stay away from these people - they are only out to rip you off!!!

We went to two Kia dealerships and they didnt seem like they wanted to work with us.A friend of ours told us to go to Paramout Kia that they would treat us right. We live in Grover, NC and the drive to Hickory was worth it.Patrick Butler was our salesman and he took great care of us.We have some friends that love our new Sorento and the deal that we got and we already refered Patrick Butler to them.Everyone Paramount Kia was friendly and helpful. We will continue to make that drive to Hickory in the future.

James & Jonathon were great to work with! However, my brief meeting with the Finance Manager did not meet my expectations. His attitude and lack of professionalism made me question why he holds the position he does. I bought this car over the phone; without seeing it in person or driving it. This was a cash transaction, which required very little effort on the Finance Managers part. He did not even stand to greet me or offer a handshake. Additionally, he did not thank me for my purchase and, at the end of the transaction, still did not get up from his seat to offer a handshake. As a side note, during the signing of the documents (NC DMV title application, buyers order, etc.), he never asked for my drivers license or any other documentation to verify my identity. Again, in closing, James and Jonathon were great!!!

Customer Service at the Kia Dealership in Hickory, North Carolina ranks high in my estimation. Upon arriving at the dealership, I was greeted by a very pleasant gentleman inquiring about my interest. Within a few moments of conversation, I was already looking at a possible car. Shortly, papers were being filled out for a trade of my car and the purchase of the Soul Kia that I had picked out. The quality and quickness of work was amazing to me. It was quickly done and shared with me. The price of the car with the trade-in of my car proved to be a price that I could not turn down. My overall experience with the sales representative, finance department and other personnel was awesome. A friend of mine recommended this dealership to me and I will definitely pass on the recommendation to other friends of mine.

I had been shopping for a new car for over a month. After visiting different dealer ships and comparing pricing. I decided to drive to Paramount which was very much out of my way, just to see if what they say is true. {They can bet anyones price.} I went right to the car I had been looking at. Patrick, then asked if we would like to drive it. Acoarse we did. Now came the question , can you beat the other dealers price. That was resolved quickly. The answer was yes, Not by much, but the service and the way they treated me from the time I got there to finishing the deal was great. I have pruchased many cars in my life and I have to say this was one of the best experiences I have had in buying a new car

I needed a new car. My old car was at the shop more than I drove it to work. I needed a dependable car. I had friends that owned Kia cars. They love them. So, I went online and looked at Kia cars. I liked the Forte coupe. I asked for a quote thru the nearest Kia dealer ship. They sent me emails and called me within the hour. I set up an appointment to go look at some of the models they had on the lot. I arrived late the person I had the appointment with was on another lot make a sale to another customer. Jason quickly stepped in to help me. I show him the car I like and within two hours I drve off the lot. Jason did not stop until all of my paper work was finished. He took my car washed it and put gas in it. I love my Kia. I have bought a new car before and it took six hours. I was not thrilled about having to go back thru another six hour ordeal, but thanks to Jason it was quick. I would recommand Kia of Hickory to anybody who wants to buy a Kia. Jason was a wonderful and very efficient sales person. Thank you for the great car buying experience.

My husband and I got a letter in the mail stating that we could get 120 percent of our cars value. Even though I had 2010 I thought why not. I might be able to get a brand new car for what I was paying a month or for just a little extra. We decided to look into the Sorento and Optima. We decided we couldn't afford the monthy payment of the Sorento and my husband didn't like the 4 cylinder so we decided on the Optima. I love my new Optima it's sleek and sporty looking, gets better mileage than 2010 and the body style looks 100 percent better than the 2010 and I love the extra features that the 2011 offers that the 2010 did not. Thanks again to the Kia team for helping us get a great vehicle.

I bought a 2009 Kia Rio from Paramount Kia Hickory. It was a very pleasant experience for me from start to finish. Jeremy was wonderful to work with, was very accommodating, answered all of my questions satisfactorily, and I believe he deserves recognition for being the most personable and laid back car sales representative I've met. After bad experiences I've had at other dealers, buying a car from this dealer was a walk in the park. I would also like to thank Daryl Horton, the finance manager who spent a lot of time looking for a good financing deal for me. These guys are awesome!

My wife and I purchased a new Serento from Brent Huffman. We could not have been treated any better . Everyone at the dealership was very friendly and helpful. I would refer Paramount Kia to all my friends . Two other families at our church have bought new Kia's from this dealer recently and have very happy with their purchase. The service department has been great also.

Salesman, Jim Moir, did little to NO educating us about the car. He was slow to get the paperwork done. He did not at any point discuss with us the maintenance schedule. The finance person, Ryan, rolled his eyes and made faces when we were discussing the Gap insurance coverage option. Very Rude! In fact, so rude that we decided to purchase our second Kia from another dealership. The buying experience was as different as night and day. We have not at any point received follow up calls from Paramount of Hickory to thank us for our purchase or to see if there were any questions/concerns that they could help us with. We are super disappointed with the overall buying experience from this dealership! We will not have our vehicles serviced with them or give them any business at any point in the future.

I was treated so nice I have never been treated as nice as they did everyone that you came in contact with was so nice and helpful. Scott was so great he took time to talk to us and just to to know us it was not just about the sale it was like visting friends you almost forget that you was there to buy a car. I will be going back there again and I tell everyone I meet to go there and buy a car. susan

This was my first solo car purchase and I could not have asked for a better experience. Patrick was a big part of why I chose to purchase the vehicle. He was very personable and extremely knowledgeable of all the vehicles. I really appreciated that he was not pushy and was very helpful trying to find the vehicle that I would benefit the most from. I would, without a doubt, recommend any family and friends to go see Patrick for their next purchase.

I had a great experience with all the people at Paramount Kia, even those that I did not work with one on one. Everyone was very nice and friendly. My salesman, Jonathan, was very knowledgeable about the different cars on the lot. He was very nice and friendly and was able to answer all my questions. I would most definitely recommend this dealership to anyone.

I bought my Kia Sedona from this dealership 6 years ago & have had a great experience dealing with them over the years. So when it was time to trade & look for another vehicle, I went back. Jim Moir, one of the salesmen, promptly met me on the lot & showed me around. Every step of the way through the purchase, Jim was very helpful.What impressed me about Jim was that he knew the salesman I had dealt with 6 years ago---it showed me he had been around Paramount Kia of Hickory awhile. The new service department is more accessible than before with friendly people working in there. Jim showed me around the different departments & offered me different vehicles to compare. I settled on the Soul & Jim found the one with everything I wanted on it plus the color I liked. Overall I would tell others of the good deal I got at this dealership on a new car plus the service they provide after the sale.

On April 7, 2011 my husband and I drove to Hickory to look at vehicles. I had looked online at Kia Souls and similar vehicles. We started off going to Carmax first and looked at several used vehicles. We then test drove a Nissan Cube. We were not planning on buying that day. We decided that we would drive to the Kia dealership and test drive a Soul. I was not intending to buy that day. I hate pushy salespeople to be honest and that is what I am used to at car dealerships. I was with my husband when he bought both his new trucks and it was not pleasant. This time I was very pleased. When Tim came out, he was not pushy. He gave us time to look and ask questions. He took us for a test drive and I was very pleased with all the information that he gave us. When we got back from the test drive, he asked us if we were interested in trading our vehicle and said he could do a quick appraisal, no more than 15 minutes. He was right. It was around 15 minutes and he had a quote of what we could buy the car for and what they would give us for ours. We were very happy with the offer made on our car. It was higher than KBB and a bit higher than another offer we had been made. We decided to buy! He then showed us all the features our new car had and made sure we knew what we were getting. He was great! I would not hesitate to recommend Paramount Kia and I would especially recommend Tim Whitener as a salesperson. Thanks,Denise Manus

Everyone we came in contact with from the moment we entered your store was helpful and very friendly. We were treated with respect. Jonathan was very polite and sincere. He was very knowledgeable about the Kia Soul and answered all our questions. Jonathan walked us through the process with ease. We never expected to leave the same day with a new car. We want to thank all of you for your wonderful service and attention to detail in selling us a new vehicle.

The experience of buying our new KIA Optima was very pleasant and stress free. Normally, buying a car is worse than going to the dentist. But, our salesman Brent Huffman was not pushy at all. He was very honest with all the questions I had for him and was very patient with all the scenarios I wanted to clear up before purchasing a new vehicle. He was informative and knew what I would or wouldn't like in a vehicle. The finance person was very busy but nice. You could tell he was in a hurry but wasn't rude at all. Our experience was pleasant and we will recommend your dealership and Brent Huffman to our friends and family.

As soon as we got out of our car at Paramount Kia, Jarrad Wilson was there to greet us. He was very cordial. He treated us with respect. We told him what kind of payment we could afford and he immediately said he could help us. He showed us several vehicles and was very patient with us, even though I kepted changing my mind on which car I wanted. He was informative about the vehicle we test drove and explained how to use use the equipment. From the time we arrived till we completed all the paperwork, he was very accomodating and we felt at ease with him. At one time we were working with two more individuals at the dealership who were very accomodating and wanted us to have the vehicle we wanted. I would definately recommend this dealership to my friends and highly recommend Jarrad.

We had a very good experience with the Paramount Kia Dealership. We went down there after seeing the ad on TV and then looking up the website. We wanted to trade our old vehicle for one with a warranty. Mr. McNabb worked very hard to find us the right vehicle. He wanted to make sure that we found what we needed for the price we could afford. I would definetly recommend this dealership to others.Sincerely,Paul and Theresa Clark

I had gone to another Kia dealer and these guys helped me see that I had been offered a LX with added extras that was much more expensive than the SX they had for me at a much better price. Sadly, it was sold the day before I got there so they found me one similar to the one I had seen online and sent someone to get it for me, I had it in a few days. This one had a few more extras on it even...that's the Lord for ya :)! I had studied allot online, but still had to trust that they would help me get down to the payment that I needed and they did work with me. I am delighted with my car and have offered to take a friend there in the next month to see if she can find a vehicle! THeir website really helped me as I studied and looked for the car that I wanted!!!

We had a really good experience with your salesmen. When the monthly payment was not really what we were looking for, your finance manager referred us to use our local credit union which we did and so now, we have a new (used) car and it's what were had been looling for and the price we wanted.

We purchased a new 2011 Kia Forte in March, 2011. We went to Kia because of the safety ratings we have read about in Consumer Reports, the warranties, price, gas mileage, etc. A huge bonus that we did not expect was the friendly, professional service we were met with by our sales associate, Tim Whitener. There was no pressure, just information. Tim's 10 yrs experience shows, and made it a totally comfortable experience. We had a good experience, also, in the Finance Office, with Ryan Caldwell. This in the first time we have ever enjoyed the experience of buying a car. Thanks, Paramount Kia!

It has been years since I purchased a new vehicle and wasn't sure that I was willing to do it now. Paramount Kia in Hickory made purchasing my Kia Forte a pleasurable experience. I had done my research, knew what I wanted and the price I was willing to pay. All my expectations were met and I left with my new car. I have already recommended the dealership to a co-worker who is also looking for a new Kia. I highly recommend Paramount Kia and particularly working with Josh McNabb.

We had fast and informative service that lead to a very good experience in buying a car. We were inane out in less than 2 hours and had a new car. We had gone earlier for a test drive 2 months ago with bent huffman, a salesman, who was very informative about the vehicle and showed us how to use their website to obtain information of their invetory when we saw something we like and to learn more about the vehicle. So, when we had saved and our finances came around we were able to identify a car without even going to the lot then call Brent to verify everything. He was able to meet with us and quickly negotiate a fair price and showed us our best financing options. Once this was done we were directed to all the paper work and then to our new car. I was surprised at the fluidity of the experience and the brevity of our wait time.
