AutoNotions.com,
a niche Automotive Accessory Company was
founded and created by Mike DuBois, who
has spent his entire working life in the
Automotive Industry. The son of an
Equipment Salesperson, and Used Car
Dealer; Mike got the car bug honestly as
they say. One of his earliest
recollections as a small child is
squatting down in the dirt to clean the
whitewalls on a car that Dad had brought
home on demo from the dealership.
Mike’s first Real Job was standing
behind the parts counter for what was
then DISCOUNT AUTO PARTS, now
called ADVANCE AUTO PARTS.
The
parts counter was a great education not
only on the mechanical workings of
automobiles but more importantly; it
planted the passion for all things
automotive. Mike did a tour of duty
Writing Service and Managing a Parts
Department for a BMW dealership, working
in the Sears Network as a Master Parts
Person, Mike has spent the last 14 years
or so as a product manager, buyer,
purchasing manager, category manager for
a private Tool and Equipment Company.
Over the last 20 plus years Mike has
owned countless vehicles including some
50 various cars, boats, trucks and
motorcycles. Basically if it had wheels
or a motor, Mike has probably had one, or
will before it’s over!
About
ten years ago, Mike fell in love with
Mercedes Benz Automobiles. When asked
about the passion, he had this to say:
“The French have a saying, Je ne sas
quoi, that
translates to mean “that certain
something”. That is how I feel about
Mercedes Benz vehicles and especially
the classic SL Series Convertibles.
These cars have so much character,
unlike many newer vehicles that seem
competent but sometime without any spark
or personality!” Although Mike loves
the little cars, there was something
missing in his estimation and that
ultimately led to the creation of AutoNotions.com. An avid tea drinker, Mike
found that the prevailing German
thinking in the early 80’s was that
drink holders were not needed in a car
because drinks were Verbotten!
(forbidden) Due to
valid concerns about safety, the
engineers didn’t think it wise to
include cup holders in many Mercedes
platforms including the SL Convertibles
and the 126 Series Sedans, one of the
most popular and dependable vehicles
ever offered by Mercedes Benz!
AutoNotions.com offers Extremely High
Quality, Well Engineered and Affordably

including Cup Holders for several series
of vehicles, and a wind screen for the

fine automobiles and mirror the Quality

same species as the manufacturer, these
holders look like they are Original
Equipment! Mike has an interesting
outlook on Customer Service and Quality:
“I have spent a large portion of my life
in Customer Service and Sales
capacities. I have learned that in the
end, the sale is the least important
part of a transaction. The Tough Part,
the Important Part is how does the
product perform? And,
how does the seller treat the customer
AFTER the sale?
