Hector’s course was very informative and the pace at which he went over things was perfect for someone like myself who really had a basic understanding of wholesale and retail auto sales. The price, course materials, and access that you get to Hector makes the $120 totally worth it! I highly recommend this course to anyone in the Bay Area who wants to get into auto sales.

Hector was very clear and precise, it helps that he’s also an auto dealer himself to help with pre-licensed confusions and questions.

Since the pandemic, we now deliver certificates of completion completely digitally – you’ll receive it within 24 hours of completing the course.
