Customer Testimonials

Shayle was great! He was in tune with what I was looking for and my need to haves in my next vehicle.

Helpful in acquiring replacement for previously purchased car. Quickly identified replacement and provided fair pricing for old and new car.

Great service experience! I purchased my Santa Fe Sport here and they have done all of my preventative maintenance and repairs for years. Their prices have been competitive and the experiences have been good.
Yesterday, I dropped in without an appointment because a strange noise was coming from underneath the car. I left my vehicle and they were able to work me in (on a busy day) and resolve my problem. (A piece of wire had gotten wrapped around the driveshaft and was spinning and hitting the heat shield) - AND - no charge when I picked up my car!

We recently purchased a new vehicle at Paramount Hyundai in Hickory, NC. I don't feel that most people enjoy going through the car buying experience, but Shayle Gash, our sales associate, made the whole thing a pleasant, no pressure ordeal. So far, we like the Palisade very much. We recommend Paramount and Shayle if you are looking for a new car purchase

Very nice young man. Gave a thorough overview of the car and answered all questions

I typically have not enjoyed my experience at dealerships in the past. I was in a predicament and needed a vehicle as quickly as possible. Dylan went above and beyond in helping me do this. He was professional, precise, and efficient. This is the second vehicle I have purchased from paramount and I’m extremely pleased with the assistance that I received.

I cannot say enough about the extremely positive car buying experience I had with Paramount Genesis/Hyundai of Hickory, and particularly with salesman Jose Martinez. Having located online the exact vehicle I was looking for, I was initially skeptical about moving forward given that I live some distance from the dealer. How would I know this new to me vehicle was worth the effort given that I was not able to inspect it in person? Everything from my initial inquiry about the vehicle to every step in completing the purchase was pleasant, stress free and enjoyable.. Jose graciously answered numerous ...

I had an amazing experience at Paramount Hyundai Hickory! Shayle Gash was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and made the entire process of buying my 2023 Hyundai Elantra N smooth and enjoyable. He answered all my questions, never pressured me, and genuinely cared about making sure I got exactly what I wanted. If you’re looking for top-notch service and a great buying experience, I highly recommend asking for Shayle at Paramount Hyundai Hickory!

Matt Church was courteous, knowledgeable, and professional. He made buying the car a pleasant and easy experience.

Everyone we dealt with was polite, friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. Jose Martinez through, and patient while showing us the different trim levels of the Palisades. Andre Jefferson was excellent in explaining the features of technology in the Limited Edition. Andre connected iPhones and Bluelink. He needed to explain things several times and was glad to do so.

I have purchased many vehicles in my time but by far this was the best experience ever… I knew my credit had been destroyed because of my past but this lady here, she has the Midas Touch. She had more confidence in here ability to work this deal out, I’m not going to lie it was a shot in the dark but she made it happen…. If you’re looking for good quality vehicles please go see my friend Mrs Samantha Scarbrough. Even after closing the deal I must admit I was a little sad because she such a ...

My car buying experience far exceeds previous ones at other dealerships. Carl Roth is so much more than a car salesman. He is caring and concerned with his customers. I was having a hard time making a decision, but Carl was always patient and helpful in steering me in the right direction. The whole process was smooth — Good dealership and great salesman. JSpencer

Everybody was very helpful at the dealership. Very good customer service and great communication with employees

Jamie was on point, thoughtful and took care of me quickly - we'll definitely be back!

Shayle Gash was our Sales Consultant at Paramount Hyundai and from day 1 he was totally customer focused and driven. Shayle was honest, transparent, knowledgeable and worked tirelessly to provide a seamless customer buying experience.

Very good environment. Honest people, I recommend finding a designated person for all of your car questions and needs. Shayle was the one to help me, Made me feel like Family and always had an answer for my many questions!

I currently have a 2013 Hyundai sonata, I was thinking about trading it in. Had an amazing talk with an associate shayle and I’m definitely looking forward to trading now!

The dealership was clean and well organized and the employees were very friendly and seemed to work well together.

Shayle was very knowledgeable and helpful in my browsing for vehicle options. Although I did not make a purchase he was very patient and courteous. Go and see Shayle!

Absolutely had a ball picking out a car with Shayle Gash. He understood what I was asking for and helped when I had questions. He made sure I understood and drove off the lot with a car that was for me. For my first car sale I’m so thankful I had him to help.

Clean, fresh ,and respectful. Shayle Gash made sure I understood what came with the purchase of my car and answered questions quickly and efficiently when I asked him. He stayed patient with me as this was my first time going alone to a dealership and being a female. I would 100% say he made me feel comfortable and most definitely feel heard when it came to what I wanted with my car!

I’ve been trying to help my daughter find a reliable car when she said that she was having car trouble. She called called up Paramount Hyundai and Morgan helped and directed us to Jose. When we arrived, we were greeted with the big ‘ol smile, and he listened to us and what we were looking for, and he found us a car that my daughter would have for years to come since she has a four-year-old and another one on the way. I am very, very glad that Jose helped us. The whole process was very professional and he ... Read More Google - Jul 2, 2025

Dealership was very nice. Service was great. Dylan was excellent to work with and very helpful. I will be sending everyone I know wanting to buy, to him and this dealership.

Paramount - Hyundai is a great establishment that not only treats their customers with care but also the vehicles of their customers! Great staff and an even better environment.

We recently had the pleasure of purchasing a vehicle from Paramount Automotive in Hickory, NC. It was the easiest, most straight forward experience we ever had buying a car. Our conversations with Samantha, our sales representative were clear, professional and fun! She is a credit to this company and the reason we will return fir servicing and fir future cars.

We had a great car buying experience with Paramount. Samantha was excellent to work with as well as the finance team. We made the drive up from Charleston and everything was ready to go. Highly recommend!

I had a great experience at Paramount Hyundai Hickory when I purchased my new car.


I usually avoid car dealerships at all cost, and have my husband deal with it. However, Samantha made it a great experience. She is knowledgeable and patient and even stayed over to finalize our deal to make sure I left with my vehicle that evening. I would highly recommend Samantha and this dealership to anyone. Thanks I love my new ride.

Excellent customer service with Amber Clemens she was excellent with us and patient I I

I honestly avoid car dealerships at all cost and have my Husband handle it. When I came in to test drive my now new BMW I was pleasantly surprised with how laid-back and easy things were with Samantha. She is knowledgeable and very easy to work with. She made buying a car a great experience. She stayed late to make sure that we were taken care of and that I was able to leave that evening with my car. I would highly recommend this dealership to anyone interested in buying a new vehicle and definitely ask for Samantha.

Our sales rep Jamie Wright took very good care of me and my husband while we were purchasing our new 2025 Santa Cruz. We have never had a bad experience at Paramount.


It was a very friendly, no pressure environment. Everyone was very helpful and created a good buying experience for me.

Dylan and the team at Paramount were a joy to work with. From the first phone call, Dylan seemed more like a friend invested in getting me in the vehicle I wanted instead of a salesman. We agreed on a deal and they were patient and understanding for a couple of weeks as we worked it all out and even delivered the vehicle to me 3.5 hours away. I highly recommend Dylan and the team at Paramount for your next vehicle purchase.

My sales rep was Matthew Cook. He did a great job getting me into exactly what I asked for!

We had a great experience with Paramount. Matthew Cook took great care of us through the whole process.

The sales people were extremely attentive to my needs the moment I pulled in to the dealership. They immediately informed me about Al the new cars I was interested in buying.

Morgan Boone and Trento Claxton are absolutely great to deal with. Definitely met all my expectations. Second time buying from them and they are always very helpful and go out of their way. Thanks again! I love my Palisade!

People where very nice. Show room was beautiful.

Such a great purchase experience

Jamie was very kind and honest throughout this entire process. I believe he truly listened to me and gave me the best service and deal possible. I would highly recommend him to my family and friends.

Amber and Patrick did a great job. I’d go there again, and send my friends. I was impressed that Amber was willing to spend time with me to explain the vehicle’s controls and features.

Shayle was a great help in my search for a vehicle with great customer service and hospitality!

Shayle was an amazing help during my process of looking for a car. His hospitality and customer service made the experience smooth and low stress all while providing results!

Shayle gash... where do I start. I didnt get a vehicle but from the beginning of the process he was knowledgeable and sooooo helpful. I will be back! But I would recommend these guys and make sure you ask for Shayle!!

There are 2 simple things I look for when I walk in to a dealership. 1 being kindness and 2 work ethic. Joseph blew both of those out of the water for me not only was he kind and very helpful I was in and out of there within a hour. Haven’t worked with someone that dedicated in a while.

Shayle and the whole staff were friendly and professional. They made the whole process enjoyable.

I had Wonderful experience with Shayle Gash as we spoke about my buying a car. He was very nice, patient and help me alot. Very helpful and informative about purchasing vehicles. Even though I did not buy a car. I would recommend everyone to go see this young man. Very helpful .

I’m no longer looking for a car, but I had an excellent experience with Shayle. He helped me navigate everything very well. Even though I didn’t get a car, I would recommend going there and asking for him!!

Paramount Hyundai worked with me to finance my first car within my price range! They are a great dealership with amazing people who don’t just care about the sale but also the person behind the wheel. I had a great experience shopping here and if you’re looking for a car, Paramount is a great place to go!

This dealership was very fast and easy to work with. They made trading my car a breeze.

Joseph Williams was our sales representative. For a 19 year old he has a great personality for sales. He was very thorough and went out of his way to make the sale of my new ride a great experience.

Amber in sales was fantastic — super helpful and professional. Unfortunately, my experience with Allen in finance was disappointing. He was rude and didn’t honor the agreement I had with Amber. It’s frustrating but not uncommon — once I declined the extra add-ons like insurance and protection plans, his tone completely changed. That shift made what started as a great experience end on a bad note.

I thought they did a good job. Amber and Patrick made the car buying experience relatively pain free. I would recommend them.

This place is first class and goes beyond and above what is expected. They were so fast and easy, too. I’ll come here for my next car for sure.

Excellent experience. Matthew aka “Chef” was a great guy and made the process easy. This dealership was very helpful and we are super happy with our Hyundai.

Carl Roth was the salesman that worked with me for almost 3 months to get the payment and car I wanted. I am so thankful for him and the work he put in to get me something I wanted and reliable for my kids and I. He made the I possible, possible!

Dealership was amazing, we agreed to prices over text and then I came in and signed all the paper work. Easiest car buying experience ever!

Matt Church made buying my new Genesis GV70 a pleasure. No high pressure just excellent service. Paramount Genesis was a pleasure to work with.

Matt Cook did a great job, timing follow up, professional service. Answers my questions quick and make deal happens.


Lots of awesome and perfection! Paramount Hyundai was a great buying experience but even better than that was Amber Clemens who led me through the process. Often times buying a new car is an arduous experience but this time it was fun and so rewarding. I recommend that you visit this dealership and your car buying vision will be renewed.

I could give Paramount Hyundai an A+ but that would be too vague. When I was in school a hundred years ago, we were graded with an exact numerical value. Using that scale this dealership gets a 💯.
When I first stopped at Paramount, I didn't know what I wanted, I didn't even know what a 2025 Hyundai looked like. This is where first impressions comes into the picture......enter Amber Clemens and it was all good. She captured my interest in exploring the Hyundai line up. Asking the right questions she quickly established my profile and matched me to ... Read More DealerRater - May 19, 2025

Carl, w/sales department, did his best to his customers. We are happy with his service. Thanks

Scott Nestor did a fantastic job helping me test drive and learn about my new 2025 Hyundai Santa Cruz! He helped me decide on the design and color and price within my budget. He was very personable, down to earth friendly and helpful in every way. Carl was awesome assisting Scott and myself and my husband Jerry getting all my information and showing us step by step how to use the blue tooth in the truck. I love that personal touch seeing my name and telling me Good Morning and to be safe etc. I could not have asked for a ... Read More Google - May 15, 2025

This was the best experience I have ever had when buying a car. Samantha was absolutely great! She was very helpful and understanding. Thanks to her I have found the perfect vehicle for myself! Karrie was also amazing as she was able to get me in my price range for the vehicle I wanted without any issues!

Samantha was awesome! She made my purchase efficient and pleasurable! I would definitely recommend Samantha to anyone in the car market

I had the best experience with Jamie he went above and beyond for me to get me the vehicle I wanted! I would highly recommend Jamie to anyone I know or anyone who’s looking for a new ride! And again Jamie is the BEST!!!

This was my first experience ever with a car salesman who was genuinely more concerned about my wants and needs than whether or not he made a sale. I wasn't able to get the car I wanted at this dealer, but the salesman has gone out of his way to offer support with the car I did purchase, even though it is not a Hyundai. I feel like I've made a friend for life! And would certainly recommend Carl and this dealership to anyone.


The exceeded my expectations. From start to finishing, purchasing my new car was such a smooth process Matt church was a huge help in ensuring I got my dream car!

Matt Church was an incredible help with the purchase of my new car. The entire process from start to finish was such a smooth and painless transaction! We drove over an hour to this dealership and I would recommend this entire team for any and all future car needs.

Carl was fantastic to work with during my search for a new vehicle. He took the time to walk me through all my options, including leasing, and made sure I understood the pros and cons of each. In the end, we landed on a great deal for the Electrified GV70 that really fit my needs. I appreciated his patience, transparency, and how he genuinely worked to find the best fit for me, not just make a sale. Highly recommend working with Carl if you’re in the market for a car!

Joseph was great. He helped me get in to a great car. He went the extra mile to make sure I liked the car and I was approved for it.

I got a really good deal on my new Hyundai. I had not considered one until I happened to stop by there. Sales was honest, very courteous, and on point. The service department is the best around, they are easy to talk to and listen they listen. I could not recommend anyone more than Paramount in Hickory.

Carl was fantastic to work with! He made the process of buying my 2024 Genesis G70 easy and stress-free. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and really took the time to understand what I was looking for. Fair negotiation. I never felt pressured—just supported the whole way through.
He explained everything clearly, kept me updated, and made sure I felt confident with my purchase. I love my new G70 and couldn’t be happier with the service I got from Carl. Highly recommend working with him!
Big thanks also to Patrick, the finance manager, who had all the paperwork ready to go ... Read More DealerRater - May 9, 2025

Jamie made the process of turning in my old car and leasing a new one effortless and enjoyable. Thank you

Great experience dealing with Jamie and the rest of the team at Paramount!! Amazing price and A+ service and attention!!

I would recommend this Business to anyone looking for a vehicle, And Ask For Amber down There. She's awesome she Helped Me and My Husband Start to Finish. So go in and get you a vehicle. I gave Hyundai Paramount a 5 Star. All of them are very courteous and friendly.

We found Paramount Hyundai Hickory on cars.com and was pleasantly surprised by their professionalism and customer service. Amber Clemens, in particular, was a delight to work with. Amber has a proactive approach, such as sending personalized videos of vehicles and ensuring that cars are ready for test drives upon arrival. Overall, Amber's dedication to customer satisfaction and her transparent communication have contributed to a positive car-buying experience and we would definitely consider starting the search for our next vehicle at this dealership.

Mr. Cook of Paramount Hyundai was great to work with the and really went above and beyond to secure our desired car and ensure top quality. He also kept us well informed along the way about timing and next steps. It was a pleasure working with him and I would highly recommend him

Samantha was AMAZING to me during my car buying experience!! DEFINITELY A 5 STAR REVIEW FOR HER! Thank you for going above and beyond to help me make it happen!! ❤️ anyone in the market for a new vehicle, go see Samantha!

The dealership is well organized. Samantha and Carl are fantastic to work with in all aspects.

The staff at Paramount Hyundai were attentive and professional. Jose was especially accommodating. He quickly responded to requests for photos and information, as well as answering several questions about the vehicle we were interested in. He was always courteous, friendly and patient. He also traveled a considerable distance to make it possible for us to inspect and test drive the vehicle when we were unable to come to the dealership in person. Once we decided to purchase it, Jose assisted me in completing paperwork efficiently and with clear explanations. Mr Queen helped explain and finalize additional paperwork and calmly and ...

Jose assisted me with the purchase of a used vehicle. He was very accommodating in responding to requests for additional information and questions. He clearly had our best interest at heart. I’m grateful for his traveling to bring a vehicle to our home for an inspection and the efficient paperwork process.
