Phil M. Barras
Executive Director
Phil Barras studied business at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio and began his career in the automotive industry in 1977. He quickly progressed from sales to being a department manager, GSM and finally GM of a leading import franchise – a position he held for eight years. For several years prior to joining Autobase, Barras was an Autobase customer, having purchased the product for his own dealership. This experience would prove to be invaluable with both existing and potential clients upon joining Autobase in 1994. In 1998, he was named Vice President and began directing the sales and training efforts for the company. Since that time, he has assumed executive responsibility for strategic relationships with OEMs and industry vendors. Additionally, he now manages the all-new personal service teams currently being deployed across the organization.
