Our History
Leale's is a family owned and operated business with over 50 years of experience working on cars
and small to heavy-duty trucks and buses, and all classes of RVs. In 1961, my father, James Leale, Sr.,
began working on transmissions and drive-train components and opened his own shop in 1965. My mother,
Brenda, contributed as office manager, accountant, and payroll administrator. I started helping my dad out
in the shop when I was twelve. Through experience, technical classes, and reading manuals, I developed my
expertise with transmissions, transfer cases, and differentials. When my dad retired in 1999, I took over
the auto and transmission business and vowed to maintain his same high standards, hard work, and commitment
to outstanding quality and customer service. As our business continued to grow, we opened a second shop to
service and repair heavy-duty trucks and RVs. In 2010, we combined our RV, boat, and auto storage facility
with our RV service and repair business. We are now in a 100,000 square foot facility that also includes our
Collision Center.As automotive engineering technologies continue to advance, we continually develop our
staff to master these new technologies. We provide superior diagnosis, service, and repair in both segments
of our business: RV, and Automotive and Transmission. We look forward to the opportunity to provide outstanding
service for your vehicles.
