The International Autos Group is a family owned and operated group of dealerships. The owner of the organization is Ralph Mauro, the son of Frank Mauro, who purchased his original dealership in 1968.

International Autos features the best of the world's import and domestic manufacturers. With an ever-changing selection, one is sure to find a vehicle that fits their list of wants and needs.
