Alex Levitskiy’s business success with Auto Boutique came from a long history of entrepreneurship. When he was in college he started one of the nation’s first peer-to-peer car-sharing businesses which was named Enalux. Enalux grew to operate in 6 states in just a short four years. Alex’s success in business is in part due to his mindset and drive to overcome obstacles no matter what, but the other piece is what is rooted in the enjoyable customer experience he has created at Auto Boutique: his love for people.

Currently, they are paying for multiple Ukrainian refugees’ housing and vehicles in both Ohio and Florida. They’ve also recently sent humanitarian aid to those in need in Ukraine. Because Alex appreciates the people around him, his business has boomed.
Auto Boutique has focused on the customer–bringing the desired growth to the business in a very natural way.

Next, Alex Levitskiy plans to build stand-alone buying centers and is considering other strategic acquisitions. He’s doing it all for the love of cars, but more importantly—the love of people.
