Bernie MacDonald

// President

The man, the legend. Bernie is the pioneer of Quality Automotive Accessories. He began his automotive career at Ford Motor Company in 1963. From there he moved to Toyota and worked under the famous George Butler as a parts manager. In 1978 Bernie took a chance to start his own company and is the original manufacturer of Targa Gard stainless steel accessories. He built QAA from the ground up and now, almost 40 years later, we have been thriving! Bernie now has 2 daughters and 6 grandkids. He enjoys spending time fishing with his family in Nantucket and traveling. Bernie also has an extensive collection of corvettes, including a 1967 Stingray and an L89. Quality Automotive Accessories is a shop of diverse colleagues working together, of a single mind, with the great leadership authority of our founder and patriarch.

Pippa

// Team Mascot

Pippa has been working with Quality Automotive Accessories for one and a half years now. Being a mini Australian Shepherd, Pippa likes to stay busy and is constantly checking up on people to make sure they are focused on her… or their work. She excels in customer service, always greeting guests with lots of energy, and continually welcomes the chance to give anyone a tour of our company, even if they’ve been working here for over a year. She also occasionally covers our security, making sure the outside of the building is as safe as the inside, and letting us all know when it isn’t. Pippa holds outstanding organization skills. She is constantly picking things up that others have just thrown around, and bringing them back so they can be dealt with properly. In her spare time Pippa enjoys taking naps, giving people bear hugs and hanging out with her best friends, Bernie and Sarah. Pippa is a huge motivational force here at QAA and prides herself in being the best looking one in the group.
