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 has designed products that compliment the interiors of these fine automobiles and mirror the Quality and Finish.

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?
