About Us

Our Story

Lael’s International Auto Service was founded by Lael Leone, whose passion for automotive work was nurtured from a young age. Growing up in a modest household in Prince George’s County, Maryland, Lael assisted his mother—a pioneering female home improvement contractor—on job sites by age 9. He then began working on cars at a local gas station by age 10, learning the importance of craftsmanship, diligence, and genuine customer care. In 2007, Lael established Lael’s International Auto Service in Oceanside, California, and has since built a business rooted in trust, expertise, and community integrity.

Who We Are

We’re a family-owned and operated auto repair shop anchored in honesty, professionalism, and efficiency. Our veteran technicians bring experience from both dealership settings and the military, combining structured training with hands-on skill. Whatever your vehicle, the Lael’s team treats it with the same care as we would our own.
