The average dealership spends approximately $55,000 a year on training. Let’s be more specific. Dealers spend money making sure that sales personnel, service managers, parts managers, technicians and service advisors are receiving training. Training to keep up with the continuing changes in technology. As Controllers, Business Managers and Office Managers we are expected to know the latest updates. These laws affect how we do business. Owners expect us to seek this information on our own time. ADOMA offers monthly seminars as well as a 3 day conference once a year and a mini conference to gear up for the upcoming year. NADA training – 4x yr $3500 each time and that doesn’t, include food & travel expense.
20 Group Meetings 4x yr $1500 Each time plus food & travel expenses.
Cerritos College Program $1800 each module (4) and books ASE Certification $129 each time for 1 test An Average shop has 14 techs
Let me recap quickly: NADA $14,000 + expenses 20 Groups $ 6,000 + expenses Cerritos College $ 7,200 + books ASE $1,806 1 test for 14 ADOMA offers monthly seminars as well as a 3 day conference once a year and a mini conference to gear up for the upcoming year. The value of being an ADOMA member far exceeds the price of training. Let’s break that down.
