Hello friends, my name is Joe. I am originally from long island NY. I am married with 2 beautiful kids 19 and 4. We have now lived in Myrtle Beach for about 6 years, and we are loving it! I am a veteran of the US Navy and it was great. I learned a lot that I am able to contribute to my every day life. I have always had a passion for cars and trucks. I love just going for a random drive to relax; especially if its a car that I love, like my 2022 Stinger GT. I am very passionate about my job and helping people to the best of my abilities. I am not pushy at all... for a number of reasons. I like to tell my customers I am kind of like a lawyer...you tell me what you want and need and I will fight for you to get just that. It is extremely important to me that you leave here more happy than when you came. Thank you so much for reading this and I hope to be able to work with you soon.

I recently purchased my new Kia EV6 GT from Joe, and I have to say, it was the best car buying experience I've ever had. Over the years, I've bought many cars and had some good experiences, but none as sm have to say, it was the best car buying experience I've ever had. Over the years, I've bought many cars and had some good experiences, but none as smooth as this one. The process was incredibly straightforward—Joe was kind, honest, and very fair, with no unnecessary back-and-forth. I highly recommend working with this dealership and Joe if you're looking for a hassle-free experience. And if you're into fun, fast cars, you've got to take the Kia EV6 GT for a spin. Regardless of your opinions on electric vehicles, this car is a game-changer—amazing performance and spacious enough for the whole family. More

me and my wife were looking for a new van and we were looking at all the makes and models, ran across the kia carnival and fell in love with it. now we wanted a certain model, and this was the Trickey ta looking at all the makes and models, ran across the kia carnival and fell in love with it. now we wanted a certain model, and this was the Trickey task we wanted the VIP seating and seemed to be a task to accomplish, well Joe Claudio at myrtle beach kia took extensive time to find the exact one we wanted, and he found it! I called numerous dealers via several states and got a run around, they wanted money down etc. Joe said no worries let me do what I need to do, and I will call you. he sure did! before that we wanted to test drive one, he drove to my job and we went on test drive with a base model just to see if we liked how, it drove and handled, that to me is a salesman doing everything to make a customer happy. he was on top with staying in contact with us and told us he found one and is having it delivered same color specs and package we wanted. we went to the dealer same day and signed the paperwork and left. he also came in on his day off to deliver the car! top notch!!
