Excellent Service I had read good reviews about this dealership, so I bypassed all of the KIA Dealers near me to drive to Hickory. Very easy to deal with and they were I had read good reviews about this dealership, so I bypassed all of the KIA Dealers near me to drive to Hickory. Very easy to deal with and they were for the most part, hassle free. I was very pleased with how they worked with me to the best of their ability to get me what I needed. They seem like they genuinely care. Cody was my sales rep and sent me pics of what I asked for and was extremely friendly and helpful. I love the christian music they play in the lobby. I love Kia and now I love Paramount Kia of Hickory. I will definitely be back in the future. More

Randy Rosenbaum is Awesome! My vehicle broke down so I needed a vehicle right away. My husband saw a Sportage on your website and called about it. Randy had the vehicle ready an My vehicle broke down so I needed a vehicle right away. My husband saw a Sportage on your website and called about it. Randy had the vehicle ready and waiting for us when we got there after work. He is very personable and friendly. He went over every aspect of the vehicle and gave us information on additional options for the vehicle. Safety truly is “Paramount” to Kia..... before I left, Randy showed me how to connect my Bluetooth, showed me how to adjust my mirrors & made sure I adjusted all of them as well as showing me all functions on the dash/steering wheel. I would highly recommend Paramount Kia. More

Unfortunately, this was a terrible buying experience. I put a deposit down on a vehicle to hold. I was given a $1000 rebate on the car not knowing that was only contingent on financing through Kia. Salesma put a deposit down on a vehicle to hold. I was given a $1000 rebate on the car not knowing that was only contingent on financing through Kia. Salesman failed to mention this to me. You can imagine my surprise when they said my final bill was $1000 more since I wasn’t financing through Kia. I was told the car would be ready by noon the next day so I drive 1.5 hours to Hickory to sign papers and drive the car back. As I walk in I find out that the vehicle is not on the lot and they don’t know where it is. As I’m waiting to get more information I went ahead and had my car appraised. They under cut me by $1500 compared to Carmax. After negotiating they came up $1000. I asked them to make it the full $1500 difference and they said no so I walked out and told them I’ll come back when the car is ready. On my way home, I get a call from the finance manager telling me that if I don’t sign today then my car will be sold when it gets to the lot. Remind you I had a $1000 hold on the car to secure it as mine but they said the manager can’t promise anything. So basically the manager asked him to call me and threaten that my car be sold from under me. Secondly, I find out that in order to get the $1000 rebate I have to finance for 3 months. This was a surprise because I had an entire conversation with the salesman about this. He promised me that I could finance it and immediately pay it off with no penalty after one month. So now, I will owe three months interest that I didn’t plan on paying. In summary, horrible communication, terrible morals, and the stereotypical slimy car salesmen. If they weren’t holding my $1000 hostage I would have gone somewhere else. More
