          Frequently Asked Questions

          • Who is Dealer Educator™?

            Dealer Educator™ is a DMV-authorized training provider dedicated to helping individuals obtain their Wholesale or Retail Dealer License in California. We offer comprehensive "Pre-License Training" courses that meet all the requirements set by the California DMV. Unlike the DMV, we provide the necessary education to guide you through the licensing process and ensure you are fully prepared to start your dealership business.

          • What are the two types of Dealer Licenses available?

            There are two main types of dealer licenses:

            • Wholesale Dealer License: This license allows you to buy and sell vehicles at wholesale prices, but only to other licensed dealers.

            • Retail Dealer License: This license allows you to sell vehicles directly to the public. It also includes the ability to offer financing and warranty services.

            Additionally, there is an Auto Broker Endorsement, which allows dealers to work as intermediaries between buyers and sellers without holding inventory.

          • Is the training conducted online or in-person?

            The training is conducted entirely online, allowing you to complete it at your own pace.

          • Can you get a California Dealer License without a lot?

            Yes, you can obtain a Dealer License in California without owning a lot.

            • Wholesale Dealer License only requires a home office or garage.
            • Retail Dealer License requires a small commercial office with at least one parking spot. Our program can help you find affordable office spaces, including shared dealer offices across California.

            Not sure which license is best for you? Our program provides guidance to help you determine the right license type for your business.

          • Is the training conducted online or in-person?

            The training is conducted entirely online, allowing you to complete it at your own pace.

          • Can I obtain a Dealer License with a criminal record?

            Yes, you can still get a dealer license in California with a Felony or Misdemeanor conviction.

            • The DMV does not require you to report convictions that occurred more than 10 years ago.
            • Traffic offenses, including DUI convictions, do not need to be disclosed.
            • Failing to disclose a prior felony conviction could result in a lifetime ban from obtaining a license.
            • Keep in mind, the DMV evaluates each case individually based on these guidelines.
