DCTC Car show

Field Trip to Reliable Imports

DCTC ran a car show at Buffalo Middle School. There was over thirty cars there. There was trophies for Students choice, Best Interior and Best in Show. Bobbie Davidson got student’s Choice. Bobbie had brought his nova to the car show to competition. The DCTC students went to reliable imports to job shadow and possible jobs for the future. Reliable imports is a huge facility. They sell cars, do body work on cars and also does the mechanical work. Reliable has many benefits when working there. There is many options that you can go after while working there. If you apply for one position and you don’t like it you could switch over.
