When Is It Time To Trade In Your Vehicle

Signs it's time to trade in your current vehicle.

We all want to keep our vehicles as long as possible. When is it time to trade your current car, truck or SUV?
When you trade depends on the vehicle and your personal situation. 

Here are a few signs it's time to trade in and trade up:

1.  Repairs are mounting up. Fixing the vehicle is costing too much.  Don't spend more on it than it is worth.

2.  Your life has outgrown your car.  Life happens. Your family grows.  You are commuting longer and farther.  invest in something that will make your life easier.

3.  You cannot count on it anymore.  It is too unreliable.  If it spends more time in the shop or if it is unsafe to drive.

4.  Your mileage is over 100,000.  Miles mean a lot of things.  Your car has wear and tear and could give you problems in the near future.

5.  It is a gas guzzler.  With the cost of gas lately it can be a big deal to fill up at the tank.  You might want to start looking into something easier on gas.

If you can answer yes to any of these questions then it is time to trade in and trade up.
We are here to help assist you.  You can visit us online at www.ranklandriesmotorcars.com or call us at 330-479-2000 to set up your appraisal and test drive. We do our best to ensure you have a stress free experience when looking for your next vehicle.

Fall Driving Tips

Fall Driving Tips

Fall is such a beautiful time of the year.  The leaves turning, beautiful colors are everywhere. 

The scenery is amazing! However, those leaves can mean tricky and hidden hazardous roadways.  Here are a few fall driving tips.:

-Wet leaves can be as slippery as ice.  Slow down on leaf covered streets.

-Slow down when driving on bridges and overpasses.  These freeze quicker than the main roads.

If they are wet and the temps are low they can have ice on them.

-Watch for animals.  Fall means it is the beginning of deer season.  Where there is one deer, there is a 

good chance there are more close by.  Stay alert.

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!!!
