We do not intend to be free for these exact reasons. Licensing from the brand sis expensive as well as legal aspects. Our proposed pricing is being touted as "too high". My question was if the manufacturers like TMHU give the dealers training for free? If so our charging technicians would not be feasible. Of course we could train new technicians before they ever arrived at the dealership level, but ideally we would train both. We've explored licensing the training information from several manufacturers but if dealers get the training free already they'd never pay out 1500 per course fees.

I also find the mention of "free" suspect which is the reason for the post. I could not believe the manufacturers are giving trianing away now.
