MEET OUR TEAM
Michael Kubinski
Founder and Principal
Michael is an architect and passionate car enthusiast. Starting with his first car, which he owned before he had his license, Michael has never driven a car with stock wheels. Every vehicle gets some tweak or adjustment, and often the modifications going well beyond wheels and tires. After graduating from Boston Architectural College, Michael soon found the opportunity to blend architecture and cars working with Southeast Toyota. Michael spent 15 years working at SET, designing and overseeing the construction of dealership projects for Toyota. After much encouragement from dealers who needed his assistance for their other dealership projects, Michael started ID Automotive. Today ID Automotive has delivered dealership projects throughout North America. Between his passion for architecture and his infatuation with anything on wheels, there is no doubt Michael is in the right place when to comes to bringing innovative ideas and well-thought-out design to his clients.
