Leale’s is a family owned and operated business with over 44 years of experience working on cars and small trucks, medium to heavy-duty trucks and RVs.
Back in 1961 my Father began working on transmissions and drivetrain components at a shop named Automotive Specialist. He quickly advanced his skills and by 1965 opened up his own business in San Jose on Grant and 1st St.. During this time my Mother Brenda was a driving force in the success of their business as the office manager, accountant and payroll administrator.
As Silicon Valley continued to grow Dad’s business was forced to relocate due to the building of a new onramp to freeway 280. In 1961 we moved and set up shop on Montgomery St. Several years later an explosion burst from next door burned down the entire building. But after a short bit, it was rebuilt and Leale’s was providing outstanding service once again.
