WHAT WILL YOU LEARN, AND WHAT WILL IT COST?

The DMV requires you to pass two tests to get your dealer license. One you will take in our class, the other you will take at your local DMV Inspector’s office. The tests are very similar, and our course book is designed to highlight the most important subjects to study. Our classes fulfill the DMV’s auto dealer licensing educational requirements. We explain the different types of licenses – wholesale, retail, auto brokering – which one is best for you, and how to buy and sell for profit at dealer auctions. We cover consignment sales, exporting, salvage and Lemon Law vehicles, using dealer plates, valuing vehicles, and much more.

Our classes are 100% guaranteed. If after certification you do not pass your exam with your DMV Inspector, you can re-take our class as many times as you like at no cost. We are committed to your success!

For one year after your first class, you are welcome to re-attend for a free refresher course. Returning students whose certificates have expired and need to re-certify can attend for $75.00. Previous students wishing to attend an additional refresher past their one year initial attendance mark can also attend for $75.00. You will need to notify us if you are attending under any of these 3 options.

“I just wanted to let you know I took the DMV test yesterday and scored 98% on the first attempt. Your class was above and beyond my expectations. Your knowledge of the content is outstanding, probably the best there is. I also purchased your Dealer License Application Guide. I have already started to use this tool and it is invaluable. I don’t believe there is a better product available to guide someone through the application process. Thanks again!”
