Car Dealers, Becoming a car dealer in California |
Do you live in California? Are you interested in becoming a car dealer? Well here is your chance! Enter the Got Plates, Tri Star Motors school to learn how to become a car dealer and to get registered as a certified car dealer in California. The process is rather simple, being broken down into three main requisites but it is time consuming and one must be professional about receiving his or her license in order to become a car dealer.
What are the three steps you may be asking? Well, here they are:
Number one. You will have to complete a six hour car dealer course from Tri Star Motors. There will be online sources available for you to study with and to take a practice exam. After the course has been completed you will receive a class certification acknowledging that you have completed and passed the class. You will then have to make an appointment at the local Californian DMV Inspector in order to take and pass the DMV Examination. This exam consists of 40 questions in which you must correctly answer 28. You must pass the test within three attempts. If you do not, you will have to pay a $50 fee.
Number two. You will have to fill out your car dealer application and supply a valid surety bond, resale permit and a zoning approval letter. This bond makes you responsible for any mishap there may be in order for the state to financially recover from your losses. If you are planning to sell wholesale only and less then 25 cars per year there is a request for a $10,000 bond. If this is not your goal, then you will have to pay for a $50,000 bond.
Number Three. Once you have completed steps one and two, you will have to prepare your office and photo set. Your office must pass an inspection which views many perspectives. In order for your office to even be inspected, you must have a photo shoot of your office in which you will submit the photos. The photos required are as follows: the Building, an outside sign, a display area, the office, the business license, the posted Resale License, an office phone, the office signs, a locked cabinet or safe, the Checkbook and deposit slip and finally the DMV dealer book
If the photos of are good quality, a complete set (not missing any of the requirements) and demonstrate that the office is worthy to be looked at, an appointment can be made by the DMV. Just from the photos it is possible to receive a temporary license and approval until the final inspection is made. Once the inspector has granted and approved the car dealer office, you will be able to start selling cars like a real car dealer!
Tri Star motors offers an excellent program and preparation in order to become a car dealer. The staff consists of former training officers that prepare students to become car dealers and are not offering products nor trying to sell anything. The prices are $100 for the online tutorial to new students only, $200 without taking the tutorial and $300 for private classes. All three options include the six hour mandatory course training. |
