With a wealth of experience spanning over three decades in automotive advertising, Dowd discerned a critical gap in the industry – the absence of dedicated efforts to seamlessly transition shoppers from in-person experiences to dynamic mobile interactions. In a dynamic collaboration with real estate veteran Ernie Blood, who shared a parallel passion for innovation, the duo forged ahead to create something extraordinary. Their brainchild, MCode™, emerged as the cornerstone product, generating textable unique codes that effortlessly connect enthusiasts directly to the vehicle's VDP (Vehicle Description Page). MAutoSearch isn't just a brand; it's a commitment to revolutionize the automotive landscape. Having catered to hundreds of dealers nationwide, we remain unwavering in our pursuit of excellence. Our relentless focus on crafting mobile-friendly shopping experiences and cutting-edge tools has set us apart as trailblazers in the industry.   ## OUR VALUES   ![Screen Shot 2023-12-06 at 9.19.19 PM](https://www.mautosearch.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screen%20Shot%202023-12-06%20at%209.19.19%20PM.png?width=1742&height=1260&name=Screen%20Shot%202023-12-06%20at%209.19.19%20PM.png)   **Integrity** **Honesty** **Fairness** **Accountability** **Giving Back: ** Each year, MAutoSearch supports the efforts of [Newpointe Community Church](https://newpointe.org/) in Canton, Ohio with their Operation Christmas Child Campaign.   ![2024 timeline](https://www.mautosearch.com/hs-fs/hubfs/2024%20timeline.png?width=1650&height=1275&name=2024%20timeline.png "2024 timeline") ## OUR HISTORY 2018.
