Everybody goes through a journey to get to where they are today and International AutoSource is no different. Our journey started in 1961 when Overseas Military Sales Group (OMSG) opened its doors for business to sell vehicles to members of the United States military members stationed overseas. Roughly thirty years later, International AutoSource was started and now Expats from all over the world, have a one-stop-shop for leasing or financing a vehicle without any local credit history.
