Fantastic! Awesome! Tim Whitener and all the staff @ Paramount are always friendly and are like family. We went that day with the intentions of trading my husbands vehic Tim Whitener and all the staff @ Paramount are always friendly and are like family. We went that day with the intentions of trading my husbands vehicle and ended up trading both our vehicles. While husband was finishing his deal - I was just walking around looking. Thanks to a little nudge from "The Car Guy-Randy". I have always wanted a Kia Soul - so while I was registering for their monthly drawing - Randy and I were looking @ the Kia Soul GT Turbo they had in the show room. Needless to say they hooked me up with a test drive that Tim and I went on and I was hooked. Thus we worked out the deal and I traded in my vehicle (another Kia) and got the financing thru SECU and now I am the proud and happy owner of a 2020 Kia Soul GT Turbo (Inferno Red in color). I just love it and it's great on gas! Thanks to the best dealership around. I wouldn't deal or trade with anyone else. They go above and beyond. To top that off - I ended up being a prize winner @ the end of the month as well. More

I didn't hesitate in the least dealing with your dealership again. Tim Whitener was my salesperson in 2008 and fortunately he sold me the 2017 Sorento as well. Tim is the best salesperson I have ever dealt with. Your dealership is very lucky to still have him. I would not hesitate to recommend Tim or your dealership to any of my family or friends. More

So glad Paramount is a season sponsor for Hickory Community Theatre, and this is the reason I visited them the first time. Thanks Tim for your honest and helpful assistance. More
