Our Story
AOD Auto Care Group was built by professionals who know the automotive event industry from the inside out.
Founded in 2020 by Jason Burrell, Sharman Brown Jr., Mark Elliott Jr., Ryan Haddox, and Stacy Rhodes, AOD began when five experienced automotive event professionals came together with a shared vision: to create a national detailing and vehicle management company that could support brands, agencies, and corporate clients with the level of care, consistency, and field expertise their events require.
Before AOD became AOD, the founders had spent years working in the auto show and event industry. They understood the pressure behind the scenes, the importance of presentation, and the reality that clients are often managing a hundred moving pieces at once. They also knew that vehicle care at live events requires more than basic detailing. It requires timing, professionalism, problem solving, communication, and the ability to protect the client experience without creating extra noise.
That is where AOD found its lane.
AOD was created to bring trusted automotive event support under one national brand. Today, the company supports vehicle readiness, detailing, inspections, display maintenance, test drive programs, brand activations, golf events, auto shows, experiential marketing events, commercial shoots, video shoots, and other premium automotive experiences across the country.
At its core, AOD exists to make the client’s job easier.
When an event team is managing vehicles, guests, schedules, executives, vendors, media moments, weather, logistics, and last-minute changes, AOD steps in as the team behind the team. Our job is to make sure the vehicles are prepared, maintained, reset, protected, and presented with care, so the client can stay focused on the bigger experience.
That is why the detailer role matters so much.
Every certified AOD detailer becomes part of that standard. You are not just washing cars. You are supporting live brand experiences, protecting client trust, and helping AOD deliver the kind of behind-the-scenes excellence that makes everything feel seamless on the front end.
The client may not always see every step it took to get the vehicle ready.
But they will feel the difference.
That’s the Art of Detailing.
