automax sales training scam @ toyota of lewisville

Mar 28, 2008

AutoMax complaint by Rocknbluesharp

I was interviewed and hired. At the end of day 1 training she says very cleverly pay me $299 or go home.She then says we dont get payed for the three days of training and also she says dont talk about this with each other.The scam tecnique's uses on us and the customers is horrible.They dont want the customers walking in the lot looking at the cars...real controling ect..Lots of deception. A con job at best.I will never buy a car at a dealership that uses automax sales training.Im not happy about them wasting a log day of my time.

Google "AutoMax Sales Training" and you'll find dozens of horror stories. Think snake-oil-sales! They prey on the unemployed and hopeless, using deception and FALSE hope. Scams.com had over 20 pages of dirt on AutoMax before AutoMax strong-armed the webmaster to shut it down. Hear this: AutoMax Training is A RIP OFF! If you want to be in car sales and you have promise, any dealership will hire and train you. You don't need AutoMax, who will CHARGE YOU $500 for the training. Oh, and one more thing. AutoMax watches the web and has there ringers counter any bad publicity with loads of BS saying how AutoMax was the best thing that ever happened to them. BEWARE: these people saying these kinds words are AUTOMAX employees! The New Jersey Department of Consumer Affairs has been investigating AutoMax for years -- why are they still in business? (because they are very, very smooth)

You never named the person who scamed you. Are you sure that it was Automax, or just that person? What was their name so they can be exposed?

I also went through this training. The dealership I worked for was full of sexist managers who constantly degraded me so I quit after 2 months. Now almost 5 months later Auto Max sent me a letter in the mail, after I haven't had ANY contact with them since the end of my training in NOVEMBER, they are saying I OWE THEM $438 and they're taking me to court and I will have to pay all 438, plus their attorney's fee's and interest at the highest price of the law. So look out for this company they will *** over. And any dealership that works with them.

Call Automax, and report her.

It sounds like you had a really bad, underhanded trainer. I went thru one of their courses just recently, had a professional and courteous trainer. he told me up front it would cost me 399.00 I took the chance, and was not disappointed.

They do not guarantee a job, but the chance to actually make a living in a very competitive business.

She should have told you upfront that you would pay for the course. and that there are NO guarantees.

I am sorry for your bad experience, but no matter who trains a salesperson, if that man or woman has integrity and you are happy with their service,then they should have a right to make a living too. The days of the slickmiester salesman, are numbered.
