At 12 years old, John began working on cars in his driveway in New York. Working on cars helped him solve problems and allows him to challenge himself. He knew he wanted to be a loyal and trustworthy mechanic. He worked his way through the automotive program at Wallikill Senior High School in New York and was offered a job at FireStone after graduating. John dreamt of opening his own shop where he would build friendships within the community and be an honest opinion when your car is having problems.

After moving to Maryland from New York, John started his favorite job of being a dad to his four kids, Carissa, Zach, Nich, and Nate. While being a dad and working, he knew opening his own shop would be something to pass down to his kids for generations to come.

While John is a dad and a mechanic, he is also a teacher to his oldest son, Zach, who will be running the business along side him. John got Zach a job at the dealership he was working at and began teaching him everything he knew about cars. He has worked at Subaru dealerships for the past 6 years where he was a certified Subaru Master Tech. John also has experience with European cars such as Audi, Mercedes, and BWMs.

John has been living in Pennsylvania for 2 years with his Fiancé, Mallory, and her daughters, Nellie, Lucy, and Alice. Since living in Pennsylvania, John has loved the town and history of Unionville. He enjoys coaching sports for the rec council and spending time with his family.

Originally from Bel Air, Maryland, Zach moved to Pennsylvania in December of 2021 with the dream of opening a shop with his dad. Before moving to Pennsylvania, Zach worked for various Subaru dealerships in Maryland, Delaware, and Pennsylvania along side his dad. He started changing oil and rotating tires to now rebuilding engines.

Zach uses his previous jobs to collaborate ideas, solve problems, and adapt to any situation. Being a mechanic for 4 years, he found his passion of wanting to give customers the most comfortable and honest experience while working on their cars.

While Zach is not at work, he is spending time with his dad, mom, older sister, twin brothers, and his two dogs, Dez and Duke.

Nich is going to Delaware County Community College this Fall to pursue a degree in automotive and business. Nich plans to work at the shop with his dad and brother while going to school.

Nich was first interested in cars when he got his drivers license. He wanted to understand the problems that could occur so he could identify and fix them himself.

While Nich is not at school or working, he is playing video games or spending time with his mom, dad, sister, brothers, and his three dogs, Andy, Gracie and Sophie. Nich is excited to start this new chapter of his life along side his dad and brothers in Unionville, Pennsylvania!

Nate will be attending Towson University in Towson, Maryland this fall to study accounting and finance. After taking an accounting class in high school, he found that numbers were easy for him which made it enjoyable. He is excited to start this new chapter of his life as well as meet new people.

Nate plans to work behind the scenes to manage the books and ensure the shop runs smoothly. He is excited to see dreams become a reality and help in any way he can.

Nate enjoys spending time with his mom, dad, sister, brothers and three dogs, Gracie, Sophie, and Andy. He also plays video games with his brothers on the weekend and hangs out with friends. Nate is excited to work behind the scenes to ensure Leiras Auto is a successful business for years to come!
