Paramount Hyundai Hickory

Well at my age there are a number of things you dread in life and you try to avoid them. Near the top of that list is shopping for a new vehicle. In recent years I learned that reviewing choices on the web life and you try to avoid them. Near the top of that list is shopping for a new vehicle. In recent years I learned that reviewing choices on the web followed by visiting the dealerships either after hours or on Sundays allows some relief. I didnt plan to give the SantaFe much consideration, didnt make the after hour visit and had pretty much selected a different model and mfgr, stopping by Hyundai just to clear those uneasy thoughts you have about all the choices. Adam was courteous, showed me what he had that might serve my needs and didnt try to sell me something I didnt want. He made me feel comfortable and raised enough interest that I revisited the web and decided to make a second visit actually selecting a different model than I had initially tested. The purchase process was easy and I hope to enjoy the vehicle and any future visits. More

My overall experience with Paramount Motors was good. I had bought a previous vehicle from Paramount and my experience was favorable. This helped with my decision to buy from you again.

I just had to take a minute to express my heartfelt I just had to take a minute to express my heartfelt appreciation for everything you’ve done to make our experience of purchasing a new 2012 Hyundai I just had to take a minute to express my heartfelt appreciation for everything you’ve done to make our experience of purchasing a new 2012 Hyundai Elantra Limited from your dealership a true delight!! From the initial internet inquiry down to the delivery of our new car – you exemplified the kind of sales professional consumers hope for when they begin to consider the purchase a new vehicle. My wife & I appreciated the way you gave us several different choices; new & pre-owned. The ONE thing you were willing to do for us was to quote us a PRICE!! This was something that I was unable to get any dealership to do for us. This was important to us, because the dealerships which did contact us – including where we originally purchased our trade-in, 2008 Hyundai Sonata Limited, were located approximately 1-2 hours away from us. I’ve come to realize my TIME is precious and once spent can’t be redeemed, so we were looking to engage the dealership(s) that not only said they believed it – but displayed it!! Paramount Hyundai certainly did!! We also appreciated the manner in which Lindsay & Tammie stayed in touch with us to make sure we were receiving the information needed to make a well-informed purchase. The icing of the cake though was yesterday. Your preparation & attention to detail, your patient manner in dealing with my questions, your knowledge of the vehicle and the manner in which you made me feel about the overall experience. I also appreciated the involvement of your Sales Manager – Chris Pridgen. His willingness to help make the deal come together spoke volumes of the spirit of teamwork displayed at Paramount. As you can imagine – I’ve experienced my share of “back & forth” in the negotiation process – often feeling intimated & worn down by it all. NOT SO YESTERDAY!! When it appeared we might be at an impasse, you didn’t allow everything to “drag on” – you immediately got Chris involved and within a few minutes everything was worked out!! All I can say is that in the future – regardless of the kind of car we’re looking for – YOU CAN COUNT ON US TURNING TO YOU and the TEAM at PARAMOUNT for our 1st CHOICE!! May God continue to bless all you do to honor Him by helping people with the purchase of a automobile. Sincerely, Jimmy Lancaster More

This is my second trip to Paramount...on my first trip in Feb. 2011 I bought a 2006 Ford Escape unfortunately it was totaled in an accident in August 2011... :( When the other driver's insurance co. settled Feb. 2011 I bought a 2006 Ford Escape unfortunately it was totaled in an accident in August 2011... :( When the other driver's insurance co. settled...I needed a car! The first place I looked was ParamountKia.com I did find a Mercury Mountaineer that I fell in love with, but it was at the Paramount dealership in Ashville...I called the Hickory dealership and was put in touch with Josh Williams...he was going to make arrangements with Ashville for a driver to go and get the Mountaineer and bring it to Hickory....well, instead of moving the vehicle off sales lot (like they said they would)...they sold it...the night before I was supposed to see it in Hickory.....needless to say I was not very happy.....but...Josh assured me he would find me another SUV......he found a 2002 Ford Explorer Sport on the Paramount Hyundai lot. I saw it...drove it and fell in love with it! We worked out all the details and now the Explorer is in my driveway and I am very happy!! Josh Williams was very nice...very helpful and he felt worse than I did when the Mountaineer got sold out from under us! Still not happy about that.....but I got newer vehicle with less miles and better gas mileage....so I AM happy about that!! More

Darius Bennett was highly professional and extremely knowledgeable about the Mazda3 I eventually bought. He ran through the paperwork without a hitch. I was surprised when he said he had been at Paramou knowledgeable about the Mazda3 I eventually bought. He ran through the paperwork without a hitch. I was surprised when he said he had been at Paramount Mazda one month. Everyone at the Hickory site were very helpful. I did however have an extremely bad experience with Jonathan Yount. Jonathan was my original contact with Paramount Valdese. He was late by about 15 minutes to our contact meeting at 8:30 AM on Thursday Sept 1. He was unfamiliar with the Mazda website which made the appointment go very slowly as he tried to print specifications for the car I was interested in. He was obviously very inexperienced. I then went to the Hickory site and met with Kenneth Steward, who was helpful in showing me the stock. I called and made an appointment with Jonathan to drive the car on Saturday, Sept 3 at 11 AM. At 11:15 he had not shown or called and I asked for someone else to assist me. Darius and I were in the car ready to go when Jonathan finally showed up, about 20 minutes late, waving his arms and yelling, "Denise where were you? I've been over at the Kia showroom for 20 minutes." Not "Gee, I'm sorry we missed each other" or at least a believable story. And why would I be at the Kia dealership when the car I was buying was on the Mazda showroom floor? The previous visit with Kenneth was at the Mazda showroom. I was very angry being treated that way. Fortunately Darius had a calm manner and pulled the rest of the visit off without any problems. I'm looking forward to owning my Mazda3. More

Our sales person was Darius Bennett. He is a very friendly person who really has alot of knowledge about the cars he sells. He made us feel at ease about the whole buying process. He answered all of friendly person who really has alot of knowledge about the cars he sells. He made us feel at ease about the whole buying process. He answered all of our questions.

Our son told us about Paramount Hyundai and told us if we decided on a Hyundai to be sure and ask for Mr. Stewart. He was very pleasant and up front about our interest in the Santa Fe. He took us out for a d decided on a Hyundai to be sure and ask for Mr. Stewart. He was very pleasant and up front about our interest in the Santa Fe. He took us out for a drive and explained In detail about the vehicle. We also requested a 2012 vehicle and he found one right away, the deal he made us with our trade In seemed fair. We would definitely recommend Mr. Stewart and Paramount Hyundai to our friends and family. More

From the moment we walked into the dealership, Peter Collins was enthusiastic, understanding in my choice of vehicle and worked diligently to find it. He kept in touch with progress reports.

First off, I don't like having to go to dealerships to buy a car, I don't like haggling and constantly feeling like I have to watch the person I'm working with like a hawk. However, Robbie was very nice, buy a car, I don't like haggling and constantly feeling like I have to watch the person I'm working with like a hawk. However, Robbie was very nice, he was friendly and did try to make the process less stressful. With that said, the Sales Manager (The person who priced my trade) did try to pull a fast one from my stand point and tried to reduce the value of my trade by $2k, thinking I just wouldn't notice. I find that offensive. I almost left instead of purchasing. Also, when I asked about Mazda Loyalty discounts it seems that it got dismissed and I don't think I got anything off the sticker price of the vehicle. So, no, I don't think I got a fabulous deal. However, with my personality, I find Robbie's friendliness and interest in being pleasant outweighed my agitation. My last Mazda purchase was from Harrelson, and they really had me ticked off, so much so in fact, that it has taken me 10 yrs to look at another Mazda, despite the fact that I love my Tribute and still own it. In the end, I would recommend Robbie again as a sales person but would definately warn people to price thier own trade before showing up. I hope you really wanted me to be honest and weren't just looking for some pat on the back. Thanks for reading, Cindy Phelps More
