However, the R/T model fixes many of the problems with the Challenger. Is the 2011 Challenger R/T worthwhile? These are just a few reasons.
Refreshed interior
The interior of 2011 Dodge Challenger RT has received a lot attention. The Uconnect infotainment and navigation system of the Challenger has been enhanced. An optional navigation system can be added to the Challenger. The interior of the Challenger is spacious and comfortable.
FAQ
What is the job description for a mechanic in a car?
Car mechanics can find work in three areas:
-
Automotive repair shops
-
Dealerships
-
Independent garages
Automotive repair shops
This is the place most people begin to consider becoming mechanics. In fact, it's probably the easiest way to get started. You can either work in a shop run by someone else, or start your business.
If you choose to work at a store, you need to join a union. Once accepted into the union you will be trained by the union.
After completing the training, you'll be ready to start work.
If you plan to open your own garage you will need to register with government. Once you have registered, certain standards will be enforced.
When you've registered, you'll be given a license to operate your garage.
Your license allows you to sell spare parts and make minor repairs. It won't permit you to fix serious engine problems.
You will be expected to sell spare parts and also offer guidance and advice to customers.
Dealership jobs
Most dealerships only employ mechanics who have a specific skill set. They might specialize in one area, such as brakes and tires.
Some dealerships have the option to hire general mechanics who can take care of all aspects.
Many of these positions require that applicants undergo training before they are allowed to work. This allows employers to pick the right candidates for their jobs.
Some dealerships will even hire graduates right out of university. These graduates already know the basics of mechanical engineering and therefore have no problem learning about cars.
Independent garages
Independent garages do not belong to any dealership. Instead, they focus on high-quality customer service.
Because independent garages aren't affiliated with any company, they can afford to pay higher wages. This means that these jobs are usually more lucrative than those at dealerships.
Independent garages can be just as good places to work, but this does not mean they are better. Many owners prefer to control their businesses themselves, rather than delegating it to employees.
You may find yourself working for long hours and not having control over the day.
Additionally, you should expect to earn lower wages if employed by a dealership.
The good news? You can easily switch between different types of jobs. You can switch jobs easily if you are interested in working at a dealership. Simply ask your employer if they would be open to hiring you as a mechanic.
Alternatively, if you'd like to work at an independent garage, then you could try applying directly to the owner of the garage.
Unfortunately, finding a new job can be difficult. There are many factors that affect how much you make.
It could be the type and cost of labor you use to repair your vehicle.
What is the length of an automotive training course?
An automotive course lasts 3 years.
The first year of your training is devoted to theory. You will learn all about cars. The second year is spent on practical training where you learn how to drive, fix engines, and do other mechanical jobs around the car. The last year is spent at a local shop, where you will get practical experience with real-world problems.
Are you a mechanic or a technician? Can I do part-time studies?
Although a degree is not necessary, it can be helpful. Most employers prefer candidates who have studied for a full degree rather than those who haven't. It shows that you've worked hard and are determined to succeed.
You can still study while working, however. Some universities permit students to do coursework during summer holidays and complete their studies later in a year. Students can also take classes part time throughout the academic year.
What are the requirements of an automotive technician?
You need to have high school diploma or GED and good grades in English as well as maths. You must also be able to read, and write. You will need to pass a written test and then go through a series of practical exams before being allowed to start work.
Does it matter what college I go to?
You're wrong. There are no differences between colleges when it comes to getting into the automotive industry. However, some schools offer better programs than others so if you're looking for something more specialized, look elsewhere.

How To
How to correctly diagnose your vehicle for repairs
You should first examine the symptoms your car is showing to determine if it requires repairs. Next, you can follow these steps in order to diagnose your car.
-
Check engine lights. Make sure to check all dashboard indicators like the engine light indicator (oil pressure gauge), the battery indicator (battery light indicator), and the RPM indicator (rpm gauge). If any of these indicators have been flashing continuously for several days it could mean that there is something wrong with your vehicle.
-
Take a look at the treads. Tires that are worn can cause issues with handling and braking. Also, inspect the treads of your wheels. They should be clean, and they should be smooth. You can do this by taking off the wheels. To check the condition of your treads, use a flashlight.
-
Observe the brake fluid level. Keep track of the brake fluid level in your vehicle. This will ensure that your brakes run smoothly. If the brake fluid level is low, your brakes might fail when you apply pressure to them.
-
You should test the suspension system. It is common for vehicles to have a suspension system which absorbs shocks or vibrations. It allows for better control, smooth acceleration, and deceleration. A suspension problem can cause your vehicle to feel wobbly and shake uncontrollably. You can test if your vehicle has a suspension problem by putting weight on either the front or back axle to see how it moves.
-
Examine the steering wheel. The steering column connects the steering wheel to all other components of the vehicle. Accidents often damage steering columns. If yours feels loose or shaky, you should replace it.
-
Observe the exhaust pipe. The exhaust pipe helps move gases from a combustion chamber into the atmosphere. Exhaust pipes that are cracked or leaking can allow harmful fumes to enter your cabin. Additionally, your tailpipe should be fixed immediately if it is bent.
-
Look under your hood. Take a look underneath the hood to find any strange or unusual items. Fluids could be leaking from your engine. Also, professional technicians should be called if you detect an unusual smell coming out of your engine compartment.
-
You should inspect your air filter. Your vehicle's air filter collects dust and debris from the outside environment. Your vehicle will run less well if it has a dirty filter. Replace your air filter regularly.
-
The fan belt should be checked. Your vehicle's fanbel connects the engine and transmission. If the fan belt is damaged, the engine won’t turn. It's easy to replace the belt. All you need are a screwdriver & pliers.
-
You should inspect the radiator and hoses. The radiator hose transports water from radiator to engine. It can become cracked or damaged and leak hot liquid onto your engine. The hose can be repaired with a pair or needle-nosepliers, and a wire brush.
-
The windshield wipers should be checked. Windshield wipers use electricity for snow and rain removal. If they stop functioning, they can leave streaks in your window glass. To fix the problem, simply change the washer fluid.
-
Verify the condition of your battery cables. The battery cables supply power to your car's electrical systems. Make sure you disconnect the negative cable before replacing batteries. Failure to do so can damage your alternator.
-
Check the headlights. Headlights help you see the road ahead. Poor visibility can result if the headlights don't function properly. To check if the bulbs have gone out, you can inspect them.
-
Always check your lights. When you approach them at night, the lights warn other drivers. One that doesn't work could cause you to be distracted, and possibly lead to an injury.
-
You should inspect your brakes. Brakes will reduce the speed of your car in case of an accident. If your brakes aren't working properly, you may lose control and crash into other cars.
-
Make sure to change the oil. Keep your engine lubricated with oil. It helps prevent metal parts from wearing out too quickly. It is recommended that the oil be changed every other month.
