Paramount Kia of Hickory

Best experience ever I came in with less than perfect credit and a used car upside down. Michael showed me a Kia Soul. It was relaxing to sit in and drive. Michael clearly I came in with less than perfect credit and a used car upside down. Michael showed me a Kia Soul. It was relaxing to sit in and drive. Michael clearly explained each step of the buying process. He gave me an aggressive trade-in value. He got me into a brand new 2019 Kia Soul when I expected to be abruptly shown the door once they saw my credit. Michael was the most polite salesman I’ve ever dealt with. Will definitively recommend Paramount Kia and Michael!!!! More

Best Salesman/Dealership Ever I went to Paramount Kia since it was one of the few dealerships that had a Kia Soul Base with manual transmission. I was instantly greeted by Michael I went to Paramount Kia since it was one of the few dealerships that had a Kia Soul Base with manual transmission. I was instantly greeted by Michael with a warm greetings and a handshake. I told him what I was interested in and he instantly found the car and showed me all the features. I was not interested in a test drive (since we went to other dealerships that day as well) and we talked about price. Michael gave me an AMAZING deal and was willing to work with some extra features I needed (most importantly an aftermarket cruise control) that weren't standard. After working out the details, I talked to finance and they were able to work with me with some issues I had with payment. After I bought the vehicle, Michael explained all of the features of the car including the radio, sports/normal drive mode, and other features that weren't on my old Scion xB. The overall experience was a amazing at Paramount Kia and I will definitely be going there for future cars. Michael was extremely nice and awesome about dealing and explaining everything about the car buying experience. More

Best Salesman Experience Michael Blackwood was truly God sent. Buying cars has never been an enjoyed experience however Michael turned that around and made this the most pleas Michael Blackwood was truly God sent. Buying cars has never been an enjoyed experience however Michael turned that around and made this the most pleasant experience with a dealership in my lifetime. Michael was extremely professional and represented Paramount Kia in the highest regard. The whole experience felt of great ease. We located the vehicle we liked and was given in depth detail of its features, then test drove a like car since the one wanted was on the showroom floor. The test drive was detailed out nicely as I drove the mid-size SUV Sorento and I became very comfortable and knowledgeable of its capabilities. Once back to showroom we felt extremely satisfied with the 2019 Sorento after already test driving other competitors. We felt the KIA Sorento had all the bells and whistles rising it above the others we had driven at Subaru, Toyota & Ford. Michael Blackwood went over and above to work the best deal possible for us. We had great confidence in all he had done to show us the product and get it priced so we could drive home with the new 2019 Sorento SX AWD. We will forever tell of our experience to peers, friends and family in hopes all when in the market for a new or used vehicle will visit Paramount KIA and ask for Michael Blackwood for a most enjoyed buying experience. Many thanks to Michael and all involved with the purchase of my new SUV at Paramount Kia of Hickory, NC. More

Poor customer service We had purchased a new 2016 Kia Sedona from Paramount Kia and Cathy was our sales rep. My daughter and son in law went over a couple of weeks ago and We had purchased a new 2016 Kia Sedona from Paramount Kia and Cathy was our sales rep. My daughter and son in law went over a couple of weeks ago and had a bad experience with a guilt tripper, high pressure salesman so we decided to go back and have her meet with Cathy. We went back to her this week 12-17-2018 and had an appointment to see her around 12:30. When we arrived she had someone with her and she said another sales rep would handle the first part of our visit. They gave us to another salesman and he was nice enough i suppose but they did not want to sell anything, only come off of the price of a used van $100, really. Don't waste your time with paramont, our first time was great, this time they gave us the run around and the first salesman my daughter dealt with made several calls to her to intimidate her to buy, almost bullying. Go to another dealership, if Paramount is behind on their quotas great, if not they really don't want a new customer. We called Keffer Paramount and got a much better offer on the phone!! More

I started talking to Michael Blackwood, he was great I walked in for information on my existing Kia, didn’t think I would qualify to trade or buy... I started talking to Michael Blackwood, he was great! No pressure to do anything. They were also really quick, I traded in my 2014 soul for a 2019 soul, on my lunch break... I highly recommend this dealership, will buy from them again in the future. More
