A very happy and satisfied Kia owner I have told everyone, "If you need to find a new car, if you need to feel trust in the transaction, if you want hassle free salesmanship, then I sugge I have told everyone, "If you need to find a new car, if you need to feel trust in the transaction, if you want hassle free salesmanship, then I suggest Paramount Kia of Hickory. I for one, know nothing about purchasing vehicles. I have never in my life owned a new one. But due to the great team at Paramount Kia of Hickory, I am a new brand new owner of a brand new 2016 Kia Soul. I suggest you look for Tim Whitener. He is the best I have ever met. Thank you all for providing me with the most confidential and comfortable transaction I have experienced in quite a while. More

Paramount Kia of Hickory Tim was awesome! If I ever need another car, I would ask Tim to help me again. He worked with me and helped me with finding a car and getting everythi Tim was awesome! If I ever need another car, I would ask Tim to help me again. He worked with me and helped me with finding a car and getting everything I needed taken care of. The reason I didn't give the 5 star rating was due to the finance guy. He just came off like an arrogant a--hole. He kept telling me that Kia was losing money selling me the car, told me that he wasn't giving anything away for free. I spent over 6 hours at paramount and the last 45 mins dealing with the finance guy was the worst. All in all, I would tell anyone and everyone to buy a car from paramount, with the exception of dealing with the fiance guy I dealt with. After getting this review, Paramount called me and gave me 2 oil changes and 2 car washes to say they were sorry for what I dealt with. More

Seriously, some dealerships are so persistent that it takes away any job of buying. Tim followed up, but without harassing us. The Optima won us over, as did the cleanliness of the dealership, the service department, and Tim. Tim got the job done. We will recommend Tim to friends and will definitely be looking for him when lease is up More
