Complaint Review: Automax Training

I just want to make sure that anybody thinking about either taking a class from these guys, or becoming a "trainer" does NOT do it. They are crooks, and they only want your money. They will give you a line saying they just want to "positively effect people's lives", but that is crap. They want to positively effect their wallets.

They completely ruined my financial situation. I was given a lot of promisses from them, and hardly any of them came to reality. I am not in the habbit of blaming others for my problems, but the more I think about it, the more I realize my whole negative situation could have been avoided had I gotten more truth from these people. They are money hungry, lowlife, liars that care about one thing... THEMSELVES..

If you are going to take a class, just call the dealer first and see if you can interview with them directly, it will save you your $500. If you are thinking of becoming a trainer, make sure you have a lot of reserve $ saved up to get you through about 6 months or so, as they don't have business to give you, so you have to go door knocking. Personally I say just save your $4,000 they try to rob from you.

Their business is so bad right now, they will get you to a training class and then try to get you sign up with this MLM "thing" they are doing. The way the trainers get paid is by taking money from these people who are looking for work. First of all, they are out of work, so they probably don't have any money. They tell these poor people it is tuition. No matter how they respond, they obviously have ways to overcome this objection. They will tell you $500 is nothing compared to college tuition, and things like that. Bottom line, you do NOT need to pay this to get a job in the car business.

If you are thinking of becoming a trainer, the $500 goes up to $4000 and you have to pay for a 10 day trip to wherever they are thinking about holding the "training a trainer" class. All your travel, lodging (hotel of their choice), food, and anything else you want to do is out of your pocket. They will also tell you they can set you up at local dealerships to train at, that is crap. I put more miles on my car in a couple months, than I normally do in half a year. I don't understand how they sleep comfortably at night doing the things they do. They have robbed a lot of people, and they just don't care.

Stay away from them. Protect your money, don't give it to them. Bob Gaber is the one that talked me into it. He is a slimy, know it all (he thinks), snake. Hopefully some people will search them out and find this before they decide to hand over their hard earned money to them.
