For more than four decades, the Romeo family has been part of the fabric of the Glens Falls region—serving neighbors, supporting local causes, and building a name that people genuinely trust. At the heart of Romeo Auto Group is a simple belief that still guides everything today: your reputation is everything, and the only way to earn loyalty is to treat people right—every single time
A Glens Falls tradition, built by family
The story starts with Lenny Romeo, the founder, who grew up here and attended Glens Falls schools. That hometown pride carried into the way the business was built—focused on integrity, hard work, and long-term relationships, not quick wins. Over the years, that same commitment became a tradition passed down to the next generation
Today, that tradition continues through Lenny’s children—Lucia, Joe, Mike, and Genese Romeo—all graduates of Glens Falls schools as well, and all actively involved in the business. That matters, because when the people leading the company are local, your community isn’t a “market.” It’s your home.
Reputation-first service you can feel
Romeo Auto Group has grown because customers come back—and because customers tell friends and family, “Go see the Romeos.” That kind of word-of-mouth doesn’t 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 you’ll see each other around town
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 culture. Over time, coworkers become close friends, and many are friends and schoolmates who grew up in the area together. It creates a rare kind of workplace where relationships are real, and loyalty runs deep.
And in true Romeo fashion, when you’ve been part of the team, you’re not just an employee—you’re part of the family.
A team that’s truly family
One of the most special parts of the Romeo tradition is how many relatives are part of the day-to-day operations. Multiple generations and family members work side-by-side, helping customers and supporting the community, including Patty VanDyke, Lisa Gouwens, Miquel Larocque, and Joe-Man Romeo. It’s a family atmosphere that customers notice the moment they walk in—welcoming, familiar, and genuinely caring.
Rooted here. Invested here.
Being local isn’t a slogan for the Romeos—it’s the foundation. The Romeo family has deep roots in Glens Falls, Kingston, and the surrounding communities, and they’re proud to contribute to the area that shaped them. From supporting local events to showing up for local families, Romeo Auto Group operates with the same values that built its name: family, community, and trust.
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.
