Back To School Tips and Tricks


Back to School Tips and Tricks from Rankl & Ries

It's that time of the year! Time that parents have been waiting on for months.
Back to School!! Many of our districts have started back already and in the next week the rest 
of the kiddo's will be loading the yellow bus as well! Here are a few tips and tricks that the mom's 
here at Rankl & Ries Motorcars have found useful! 

1.  Create a family calendar.  This will help keep track of all activities and schedules for the
weeks ahead.  Nicole has kids in band and football.  She suggests using a white board like she has 
in the kitchen so that everyone sees it daily.  

2.  Make sure to create some family time each day.  Whether it is a night where you sit down at 
a meal together or about a half an hour before bed.  Barb said that she finds this helpful to kids.
It is a time to ask questions about each other's day and also let them know that even though we get busy, we always have time for family.

3.  Make sure to set up a designated homework space.  Make this an area that does not have a TV or gaming system that may be a distraction  Also, Nicole suggests make this a no cell phone zone.  

4.  Set up and keep to a weekday and weekend bedtime.  Consistency is key!

5.  Lay out school clothes the night before and if you pack, pack the lunchboxes as well at night.

6.  Set your clocks ahead in the house by 10 minutes.  This will ensure that your family is on 
time and does not miss the bus. 

7.  With such busy schedules with sports and other after school activities, be sure to keep grab and go
snacks on hand.

Here is to a great 2018/2019 School Year!!!

Tips For Your Next Test Drive


Today many of us begin looking for our next vehicle online.  We spend hours searching for 
that perfect vehicle and perfect price.  Although some will purchase a vehicle
sight unseen, we recommend that you still go into the dealership to test drive and physically inspect 
any vehicle before you sign any papers.  Here are some tips to follow when you are 
out on your next pre-owned test drive.

1.  Did the vehicle start up on the first try?

2.  Does it shift easily and smooth?

3.  Check to make sure that the power windows and seats work.  Also check 
the cruise control, A/C, heat, defrosters, radio, CD and DVD players work.

4.  Do you hear any noises?

5.  Does the vehicle have any rust or strange smells?

6.  How are the tires?

These are just a few tips for you.  You want to make sure when you are investing in a vehicle that it
is safe and reliable.
