Each journey is fast-paced, gamified, and designed around real-world dealership environments to ensure maximum engagement and immediate application.

Journey 1: Dealership Structure

Learn how a dealership works from the inside out. This Journey breaks down the different departments (sales, service, parts, F&I, management) and shows how they connect to keep the dealership running smoothly. You’ll walk away with a clear picture of your future work environment.

Journey 2: Dealership Roles

Get to know the key people who make the dealership tick. This Journey introduces common roles—like Technicians, Dispatchers, Shop Foremen, and Warranty Administrators—and explains what they do, why they matter, and how they fit into the team.

Journey 3: Shop Culture

Transitioning from the classroom to the shop can be a big adjustment. This Journey helps you understand the differences between school and dealership culture, highlights technician career paths, and shows how to thrive as part of a service team. You’ll also explore professionalism traits like punctuality, attitude, teamwork, thoroughness, humility, and continuous learning.

Journey 4: Preparation for Success

Success in the shop isn’t just about technical knowledge—it’s also about mindset and behavior. This Journey builds your soft skills: time management, adaptability, professionalism, documentation, and communication. You’ll also learn why asking questions is one of the best ways to grow as a technician.

Journey 5: Becoming an Efficient Technician

Efficiency is the secret to productivity (and to getting paid more as a flat-rate tech). This Journey covers practical habits that save time and prevent mistakes—like planning your order of operations, setting up your tools and workspace, keeping your bay clean, verifying parts before starting a job, and communicating clearly with your team.
