Birmingham Suzuki was an automobile dealership located at 9008 Parkway East in Roebuck. It was owned by Petros Kartos and George Drakos, who are also partners in the Fish Market Restaurants on U. S. Highway 280 and U. S. Highway 31.
The dealership became well-known for television commercials starring then-general manager Ken Nichols, who used the name "Suzuki Man" in the ads. Nichols' campaign was credited with boosting sales to the point that the business was one of the top-10 Suzuki dealerships in the United States.
Drakos took over management of the dealership after Nichols left in September 2008.
