OUR STORY

Embarking on a transformative journey in 2018, visionary automotive industry leader Skip Dowd introduced MAutoSearch to the world. 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.
