Same full 5-day curriculum as the flagship — detailing, paint correction, ceramic coating, business, sales, marketing, AI. But everything we do in October gets the Halloween treatment. We don't just train. We bond, we party, we build memories that turn cohort-mates into lifelong industry friends.

Everything in the 5-Day Flagship — PLUS

  • Group trip to a real pumpkin patch — we pull our own pumpkins
  • Pumpkin carving night with the whole cohort
  • Halloween costume party (yes, it's a vibe)
