It All Began in 1933 by Max Rubin.
The story of Ohio Auto Supply began in 1933, when it was founded
in downtown Canton, Ohio, by Max Rubin as a wrecking yard and parts
store. Phil Dickson, Rubin’s son-in-law, joined him in 1947
upon returning from WWII, and was owner/operator of Ohio Auto Supply
and involved in the automotive aftermarket for more than 50 years.
Michael Dickson, Phil’s son, joined the company full-time
in 1980, and CEO since 1996 to present day.
In 1970, Phil Dickson took on the Pro Car Beauty
line of automotive detailing products and began distributing to
car dealerships and detail shops. In 1984, Mike Dickson began manufacturing
5 products in the PDP line, Professional Detailing Products, which
has grown into the largest automotive detailing manufacturer in
Ohio, making over 100 different products, and also distributing
all major lines related to car wash and car detailing. In 1998,
Dickson built a 15,000 sq ft building for warehouse and manufacturing.
The 3000 sq ft showroom is one of a kind showcase specifically for
automotive detailers, and has everything you can imagine related
to car washing and detailing: literally a detailer’s “candy
store.” In 2000, Ohio Auto Supply was awarded “Outstanding
Business of the Year” by the Canton Chamber
of Commerce.
Innovative Products with a Rich
History.
Ohio Auto Supply takes great pride in being the first to introduce

best possible products, at the best possible price.”
