I went to Paramount Kia originally shopping for a lease on a new car. I had visited several different dealers in the area and was not enthusiastic about any deal I was offered until I turned into the Param on a new car. I had visited several different dealers in the area and was not enthusiastic about any deal I was offered until I turned into the Paramount Kia lot and began looking at the Kia Soul! The car was great and I had zero problems organizing the lease agreement; everyone was lovely. At the end of the lease I went back to Kia and met Straiten Klein and all the wonderful people at the main dealership near the Biltmore Square Mall. The turn-in of the Soul! was totally hassle free; just amazingly easy. I was considering trading in for another Soul! when I saw the Forte Five Door, which was a costlier car but I wanted to lease it. Straiten Klein and all those involved bent over backward to help me. I'm older and live on a fixed income and the dealership really went the extra mile to put me in the new car I wanted and still stay within my budget. Note, they were not 'struggling' at the dealership; there were dozens of people there to buy and lease at the time; everyone was being run off their feet. I have been to other dealers who had high demand for their vehicles and responded by becoming overtly arrogant toward their customers while making zero effort to be cooperative. However Straiten and the staff at Paramount Kia are an exception to be sure; they made a genuine effort to work with me and I am grateful for and impressed by the general air of friendliness and of everyone working together to make the deal. Straiten Klein is a DOLL! He made sure I understood every detail about the car; helped me set up the terrific tech apps in the car and was very patient at every step; believe me, patience was required. He's very smart as well as funny and, with his great sense of humor, besides getting a great deal, I have never had so much fun leasing a car. Meanwhile Aaron was working very hard on the financial agreement and they both did everything they could to make it work out for me ... and they DID! Then Jeff's office was the final stop for signing the lease agreement and he too was professional, knowledgeable, friendly and funny. The entire transaction was smooth and easy. Everyone I met at Paramount Kia [including the service personnel] was thoroughly professional, knowledgeable, helpful, cooperative and a pleasure to work with. Straiten Klein is my favorite salesman in all the world; we had such a good time working out the details of the agreement and the Kia's are so great I cannot imagine going anywhere else. The Forte is so much fun to drive; it's a great little car and perfect for me in every way so I am beyond delighted to have it. I would highly recommend Paramount Kia and hope everyone's experience will be as terrific as mine was; Paramount Kia is MY car dealer and I am taking my daughter in to get her new Kia in August. Can't wait! More

Well, I came in for a recall on my 2009 KIA Rondo and drove out in a brand new, bright red, KIA Soul! Service was excellent, but it turns out I didn't need it. My sales person, Chris Johanson, was deligh drove out in a brand new, bright red, KIA Soul! Service was excellent, but it turns out I didn't need it. My sales person, Chris Johanson, was delightful. Presented everything to me clearly and kept me entertained while I waited for the paper work to be completed. I never felt pressured by anyone at anytime! The head of finance who handled my paper work was very thorough and explained everything clearly. I am having fun with my new "baby" and have been pleased with the follow up to date. I will definitely recommend you to others. BY the way, we are a KIA family. Have had over 5 in the last few years! More

We were not intending to purchase a car the day we stopped at Paramount Kia. The salesman who asked if he could help (Ed Nichols) was very informative about the Optima we were looking at, he was not p stopped at Paramount Kia. The salesman who asked if he could help (Ed Nichols) was very informative about the Optima we were looking at, he was not pushy but had the answers to the questions we posed and he and Aaron Hill made our decision to purchase a fairly easy one. From trade in to financing to actual driving the car we chose home that same day Paramount and the employees we had contact with were simply GREAT and in a word this experience was PRICELESS!!!!. We would recommend your dealership to anyone we know who wants to buy a very nice car. Thank you all Barbara Cietek Phil Reisdorf More

Saturday of the Memorial Day weekend was a day I'll remember for a long time to come. At my wife's nudging we went car shopping, little did I know we'd buy a NEW car! Well, I have to say that my new Ki remember for a long time to come. At my wife's nudging we went car shopping, little did I know we'd buy a NEW car! Well, I have to say that my new Kia Forte is really spectacular. We drove to Virgina about three hours from home in the new forte and I was pleasantly surprised at the nearly 40MPG the car got on the hi-way. Brian Carter was our sales rep and was, I might add a very low pressure kind of guy (don't worry Kia sales managers, that's a good thing.) He let me take the car on a nice long test drive and explained all of the features and benefits of the Forte. When we returned to the dealership we went inside and talked finance. At one point I was concerned but Brian brought in his Manager and was able to work some magic that allowed me to drive my new Forte off the lot without any money down. Thank you Brian! I highly recommend Paramount Kia for thier courtesy and professionalism and know that when I need another Kia, I'll be back! MG- Asheville, NC More

We were greeted quickly upon arriving at the store. The salesman was not pushy in trying to get me to buy a particular vehicle.
