Why buy from Romeo Kia
We Sell Cars… Family Style!
For more than four decades, the Romeo family has been part of the automotive business, building a name rooted in trust, hard work, and treating people the right way. While the Romeo family story began in the Glens Falls region, that same family tradition has been carried proudly into the Kingston area, where Joe, Lucia, and Genese Romeo relocated with their families more than a decade ago.
Today, the Romeo name is part of the Kingston, Lake Katrine, Ulster County, and Hudson Valley communities — not just as a business, but as neighbors, local families, and active members of the area they serve.
A Kingston tradition, carried on by family
The Romeo story began with Lenny Romeo, whose values of integrity, reputation, and long-term relationships helped shape the business from the very beginning. That belief still guides Romeo Auto Group today: your reputation is everything, and the only way to earn loyalty is to treat people right every single time.
Today, that tradition continues through Lenny’s children — Lucia, Joe, Mike, and Genese Romeo — who remain actively involved in the business. In the Kingston area, Joe, Lucia, and Genese have made their homes, raised their families, and continued the Romeo family commitment to honest, customer-focused service.
Because when the people leading the company live in the same communities they serve, customers are not just customers — they are neighbors.
Reputation-first service you can feel
Romeo Auto Group has grown because customers come back, and because customers tell their friends and family, “Go see the Romeos.” That kind of loyalty does not happen by accident. It comes from:
- Honest conversations
- Respect for every customer’s budget and needs
- A commitment to doing the right thing when it counts
- A long-term mindset, because relationships matter
- A genuine desire to make every customer feel comfortable and cared for
Where employees become family
One of the most meaningful parts of the Romeo story is what happens behind the scenes: people come to work here and stay. Many employees become long-term team members, not just because of opportunity, but because of the culture.
Over time, coworkers become close friends, and the workplace begins to feel like family. That loyalty, familiarity, and pride carry into the customer experience. When you walk into a Romeo dealership, you can feel the difference.
And in true Romeo fashion, when you are part of the team, you are not just an employee — you are part of the family.
A team that is truly family
One of the most special parts of the Romeo tradition is how many family members are part of the day-to-day business. Multiple generations and relatives work side by side, helping customers, supporting employees, and staying connected to the community.
That family atmosphere is something customers notice right away. It feels welcoming, familiar, and genuinely caring — because that is exactly what the Romeo name stands for.
Rooted here. Invested here.
Being local is not a slogan for the Romeo family. It is part of who they are. Joe Romeo, Lucia Romeo, and Genese Romeo, along with their families, have made the Kingston area their home while continuing the Romeo family tradition in the automobile business.
From Kingston and Lake Katrine to Ulster County and throughout the Hudson Valley, Romeo Auto Group is proud to serve the communities where the family lives, works, and gives back.
Because at the end of the day, a business can sell cars — but a reputation is earned. And the Romeo family has been earning it for generations.
