Service Group - Training

Automotive Industry Management (AIM)

Service Group's new AIM program is automotive industry training designed to provide dealer candidates the fundamental skills needed to run a successful dealership.

AIM is a 12-month non-traditional training program consisting of:

On-the-job training
"Shadowing" Service Group field representatives as they service dealerships in non-competing markets will enable participants to observe how other stores handle problems common to all dealerships.
Classroom work
Service Group Academy is unmatched in its quality training programs and facilities. Participants will attend a training class every other month at the SGA campus in Austin. Training classes will include: Sales Professional, F&I Management, Used Vehicle Management, Fixed Solutions, Advanced F&I, and will wrap up with the Association of Insurance and Finance Professionals (AFIP) Certification.
Quarterly seminars
Traditional automotive training does not include information on advertising (including internet advertising), successorship planning, loss control, insurance issues (including workers' compensation), analyzing dealership financials, and up-to-date reporting on legal issues confronting dealers. Quarterly seminars will be held to address such topics. The information coming out of these seminars will be timely and up to date.

Most of today's dealers learned to survive in the automotive business by trial and error. AIM will help prepare tomorrow's dealers by teaching them the fundamentals of the automotive business. Participants will be exposed to new ideas, new solutions, and proven ways to help boost the bottom line.

AIM is the first step to ensuring the future success of your dealership.
