Is it Safe to Fill out an Online Credit Application?


Is it Safe to Fill out an Online Credit Application?

When you are looking for a vehicle it can be overwhelming and stressful.
Kids, work, appointments and activities come into play when trying to find the time to 
visit a dealership.  You don't want to spend hours in a dealership and in the finance office.

We also understand that if you have some credit issues it can lead to feelings of embarrassment if you are face to face and not able to secure an approval.  

When you have done your research and have found the car or a couple cars that you are interested in the next time saving step is complete the online credit application.  This adds peace of mind to know that the entire process will not be as lengthy when you come in.

In this day and age you need to be careful with your personal information
and here at Rankl & Ries we understand.  Our job is to ensure that you are comfortable.  Our online application is secure.  Your information is only made available to our finance department and is kept in strict confidence.  All of your information is private.  

We are always available to answer any questions that you may have along the way.  We are here as well to ensure that your car buying experience is a smooth and stress free as possible.

Tips for Driving in the Snow and Ice


Winter Driving Tips from Rankl & Ries

Just when we start to get over the cold temps outside, Mother Nature had plans to drop some 
wicked weather our way.  We wanted to give you a few reminders on navigating through the winter roads.

1.  Make sure to clean off the ice, snow and dirt are cleaned off of your 
windows, headlight and tail lights.

2.  Make sure your windshield wipers are in working order. Consider winter blades for 
this time of the year.

3.  Keep an ice scraper in your vehicle.

4.  If the road conditions are hazardous, wait if possible before going out.

5.  Drive slow and know your brakes. Increase the distance between you 
and the vehicle ahead of you.
