National Auto Academy is a school. To anyone complaining about not getting a job, get over it. To first say half the people in your class got hired after they completed the course and that you didn't get hired so now it's a scam is ridiculous!!! Please explain to me how is it a scam if people are getting hired after they complete the class?!? Obviously it's not a scam for them now, is it? You paid for a class, you guys even stated you took notes and got books... Maybe you're the problem, not the class you took. Take your new skills and a resume and start going to dealerships and filling out applications instead of whining on here. Next you're going to be mad that no one is picking you up and driving you to your interviews. Unreal. You even stated that you signed paperwork before paying for the class that you weren't guaranteed a job! I don't even understand the problem here? lol A scam? Doesn't sound like it at all. It just sounds like you're upset that the person sitting next to you got a job that day and you didn't. There are car dealerships everywhere you look. Start applying. Obviously they hire people who take classes there.
some could yes apply in their own , so the question was , what was the money for? because anywhere you could get a free training. first at the interview, the instructor doesnt tell u have to pay. at the second day of training she says u have to pay and to sign the paper and dont mind what the paper says because you have a guarantee job starting monday. i been waiting 2 months so they can place me a job . ok fine i could do it by myself sure but ok so then ill need my money back. the place of the training was in a dealer and everything seemed so real. the guys who were training with me went through 3 managers in one dealer for interview. tell me where or what place to get hire you need to see 3 managers. I think that the only manager who needs to see is the one in charged in the department that you are applying for... 3 managers? so just one of them could say something negative about each guy.. went for interviews that wanted experience. and they asked me if at least I did a fake call or saw anyone selling car, the process. and I said no . at the end its just a scam
They don't say anything at the initial interview about anything other than "they are interested in you and want you to come to a seminar about the job so you can decide if the job is right for you" The auto dealers and the NAA work together on this scam. The ads they place pretend to be ads for JOB OPENINGS at the car dealership. The truth of the matter is the ad is to get desperate people who are out of work and in need of a job to come in for a "Job interview" be told they have a good chance of getting the job and then being suckered in to paying $699.00 for a "certificate" which means NOTHING. There are NO TESTS ! The Only requirement is you have to pay $699 and you get the certificate. Most state do not require the certificate they issue. You are right , They are a school that is playing on the people in hard times and selling nothing of VALUE. They use Craigslist type ads offer Car Sales Positions "Now Hiring" $60,000 to $90,000 a year" Some of the scam artist even "promise jobs off the record" to get you to pay the money . In reality no job, no offer... few may be hired because the Dealership is hiring but the "Certificate" and anything NAA offers has NOTHING to do with it except for the fact the dealership gets a kickback from the NAA. Think of it. The supposed 3 day class is usually cut down to two days for a full 8 to 12 hours of "stories and slides", 9th grade printed notebooks of BS about car selling, Then a 3rd grade printed "certificate with your name scribbled on it. NO Need to meet and standard or pass any testing, just pay $699! bam! oh and maybe you will get a job if you go for an interview and they hire you. TOTAL FRAUD and SCAM.... EVERYONE TAKEN BY THESE PEOPLE NEEDS TO COMPLAIN TO THERE LOCAL BBB, STATE CONSUMER AFFAIRS DEPARTMENT AND LOCAL TV STATION . DO NOT BE ASHAMED OF GETTING TAKEN BY THESE SCAM ARTISTS!

HAHA NOT!!!!! -5 STARS They are a Scam school that teaches absolutely nothing, except a good way to make a crippled of Money. $10,500 or more in a couple of days. it kinda goes like this>>>>>> You see an ad for what looks like a super opportunity and answer the ad. A job where you can make $90,000 a year. They get back to you with, "Come in for an interview". Then they tell you "I like you! I think you are a great fit for this position. Come back for a 3 day seminar, this way you can decide if this is something you really want to do" You and 14 to 18 others show up for the 3 day seminar.
You are shown some slides and hear anecdotal stories of car selling experiences. Then you are told "hey we don't really need 3 days, we can finish up in just 2 days". All you need to do is pay $699, you will receive a NAA "Certificate" and you are set for life! You may even be told that you have a job waiting or maybe they will tell you in 2 weeks they will call you and you will start working then....HOW GREAT IS THAT!? OH but 2 weeks come nothing. You call the company they say someone will call. They don't. You get upset and call again, they tell you "we can send you to interviews anywhere you want". See truth is, there never was anything there to begin with. These scammers got you and 15-20 others to come in for a BS seminar and took each of you for $699
(15x699=10485)(20x699=13,980) a quick$10,485 to $13,980 for a couple days work. Say it is split 3 ways...Dealership gets a nice cut... the NAA takes a cut and the scammer gets their cut. A nice $3,495 to $4,660 each! Happy Dealership, Happy NAA,Happy scam artist. AND a not so happy you! All you get is a piece of paper that if used and saved correctly will help you out if you ever run out of toilet tissue. True story by the way . You are not the only one scammed by these people.... and will not be the last. Look through the job pages today. If you see an ad for a auto sales position at a local car dealership... saying interviews to be on 1 or 2 specific days, make great money! RUN AWAY it is a trap! Call the dealership on your own ask to speak to the Owner or GM. If they tell you they are using the National Auto Academy they are a SCAM dealership and let them know you know. Lesson learned. Their are real dirtbags in this world sad but true.
I went for an interview with Hawkinson Nissan in Matteson, IL. At the interview I met a man named Chi Li who told me he liked me and wanted me to come take a training class for the job, I attended the next day. Midway through the first day we were told of 699 fee for class, I spent the money as Chi told me I'll be on the floor in a few days if I passed the class. After 3 days 25 hrs of training and writing notes which turned out to be the "Manual" that was to be included in the 699 dollar fee, I was offered a porter position which was not what I took a $699 class for. So I decided to call the job placement line for job placement every interview I get nobody is aware I'm coming, and still NO JOB...ALL I WANT IS MY MONEY BACK AND TO CUT ALL TIES WITH THE NATIONAL AUTO ACADEMY.
I attended the "National Auto Academy" training at Peruzzi Toyota located in Hatfield, Pennsylvania. It is a large legitimate corporation and dealer. The training was excellent and I actually learned what I had expected. However, the instructor who called himself, "Mark Thomas", stated that we were guaranteed jobs at Peruzzi as car sales people. This never occured. I also asked about getting a receipt for the $700.00 that we paid for the training. Mark stated that the receipt would come in the mail. It never did. I contacted the "National Auto Academy " without any response. I believe that this is a scam and many people are putting out their hard earn money for nothing.
On January 6th I had an interview with a local car dealership. I was expecting to see a manager but instead I met with a woman named Lucia. She seemed nice at first, but however that was not the case. She invited nine people back for training on wednesday, I was interviewed on a monday.
She disclosed there was a fee for training materials, but she did not specify until the end of the day that the fee was $700. I would not mind this if I had known I didn't get the job yet. I figured you payed the fee to get trained for the job. Again, not the case. On day two when you pay, you are required to sign a bunch of paperwork stating you are not guaranteed a job with that dealership.
This angered me and my other classmates very much. What she teaches you, is exactly what she does to play every single person in that class. Only half the people in my class got a position in that dealership. Another woman in my class stated that her father works at a car dealership and hes never heard of a dealership requiring their employees to undergo this absolutely outrageous training. I enjoyed meeting new people, but I never thought that a reputable dealership would scam people out of their money like this.
Do not ever get training from the auto academy. It is the biggest scam in the world and is not required to get a job at a car dealership but the instructor will make it sound like it is required. Never get trained by a woman named Lucia, every word she speaks is a load of horse shit.
This is not about peiople paying for a training course as some have alluded to. This is a bait and switch. People are lured in by an advertisement on Indeed or Craigslist for a job opening at a dealership. Like Paul Miller in NJ. Applicant applies and is called to come in for an interview. They are told that as part of the interview process there is a training program at the end of which they will be hired for a job EXCEPT that they find out during the training class that that is not the case. That there is perhaps one job and they are one of twenty potential candidates and the $700 training fee is not reimbursed if they are not hired. In essence the dealership is getting the applicants to pay their recruiting fees and calling it training just to get around the law. This may be legal but it is unethical and dishonest in approach.
How is this a scam? It's a school and they charge for classes. It even says it on their website. Are you mad because you're broke? If you want to go to college, you have to pay. If you want to be a real estate agent, you have to pay. If you want to learn how to cut hair, you have to pay. If you want to sell stocks, you have to pay. If you want to become a mechanic, you have to pay. So if you want to learn how to sell cars, you have to pay. What's the big deal? Go be a cashier or something then. You don't have to pay for that.
Please explain the scam to me because I simply do not see it. I looked over their website as well. They offer classes to learn car sales, and from what I understand, they also help people get jobs. If you look at their google reviews, they are close to 5 stars with hundreds of reviews. Their website even lists class prices and you can enroll online or locally.
So let me get this straight so I, and everyone else, can understand. You signed up for a class, sat through the class, and then interviewed at a dealership. The dealership didn't hire you, so now it's a scam? How does that even equate in your head? You said they gave you a certificate, right? What is preventing you from going on job interviews yourself? Do you need limo to pick you up or something? I see a few upset people here trying to slam a company that seems more than legit. I also see 100 times more good reviews than bad. Maybe you should look up the definition of a scam first before you start bashing companies. Was High School a scam because you're currently unemployed? How about college? Was that a scam because you can't find a job? You paid for classes for college, you pay for classes with this company. At least this one, according to other reviews online that I read, actually help people get jobs. Maybe you just can't pass a drug test? lol
I saw and ad in craiglist and went to white plains honda for an interview. i met LUCCIA and told me to come for a 3 days training starting wenesday, thursday and friday, and that the following monday i'll be working . duing training she mentioned wer have to pay $700 if we want the job.
she said as a car seller we can earn up to 80,00 per year , buy house , many cars, etc. got me interested and i paid for it because she said that anywyays the money is refoundable after 3 months of working at the dealer. there were like 10 of us and they all got an interview and she told all of you have a job and to come in on monday. the manager from bdc wasnt there that day so i didnt do my interview.
luccia gave me a number to call to make an appointment with the manager but they never got me an appoitnment neither a job. i passed by the honda dealer days later and didnt see the people that were interviewd and that soppostly got the job. later i found one of the girls that it was in the group and asked her if she has a job and she said that no. she didnt know what to do and she wasnt getting appointments with managers for an interview , she called no one is picking the phone.
yesterday went to that honda dealer to meet with luccia again and one of the sales told me she never worked there, she only rented the space, the sales manager didnt know what answer to give me. he was with a face that i dont know anything.
anyways its been 2 months with out getting anything back, no job, lucccia dont answer and affter that i went into the internet to find out about national auto academy and red many articles saying that this group is a scam. went to their internet no photos of their staff. everything seemed so real because it was in a dealer but somehow they have connetions with these dealers and managers to scam people.
This company is a total scam I went to an interview and was asked to come back for training went through training and on the last day Howard Danoff my "teacher" if you can call him that told me there was an opening at a dealership right by my house and it was a much better dealership so i should go there he told me a lady named Sophia from the placement center would contact me that afternoon but I heard nothing I contacted Howard back and he said to wait that he had texted a land line and thats why she didn't have my information so after waiting a week after this I contact him again but at this point he's over it so he stops replying to my emails. I told him when I started the class that i had just moved to Jersey from Atlanta and this was literally all the money I had and he assured me it was okay i would start work and then be reimbursed. after about 2 weeks of not hearing anything i went online to call the placement center myself. I talked to a girl named Leah who at the time seemed very helpful she told me she would call around and call me back the next day with interviews in my area. I heard nothing its been three weeks and still nothing from them. at this point i have already found another job and I want my money back. DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR MONEY!!!!! this is a SCAM
