Here’s what our graduates are saying about this best of the best Bootcamp® :

"Over the years, our organization has groomed a number of General Managers by sending them to NCM GM Bootcamp^SM. Without exception, they have come back enthused, motivated and 'smarter' with regard to how to run a dealership than when they first left. I not only prefer the duration of the course – one week – but I also like the fact that my GMs are taught real world lessons from real world instructors. GM Bootcamp^SM has made a positive difference to my organization. I can honestly say this training is well worth the investment!" - Joe Serra, President, Serra Automotive

“This was by far the most useful and productive training of my career. Using several of the techniques: tracking, expense control, and productivity, we quadrupled our net profit from 2000.” - Larry Bonorato - Bradshaw Automotive Group

“Thanks again for the awesome training! I have attended many training sessions in my 22 years in the business and the Bootcamp ranks up there at the top.” Mark McDermott - H&H Chevrolet Co.

“Just a quick note to tell you how much I enjoyed Jeff and Tony's Bootcamp. As a General Manager I thought I knew everything there was to running a dealership, but Jeff and Tony's class showed me that even though I do run a successful store, there is so much more potential for us. I have so many new ideas and processes that we are working on as a team here at the dealership. There was so much "real world" information in the class, and we had some great discussions with other GM's and shared ideas on how to better improve the bottom line. GREAT STUFF! I loved it. It was worth the time away from my family. Thanks again.” - Debra Canter, General Manager, Rick Case Acura
