What is the Reconstruction process?

The reconstruction process is simple and straight forward, but varies somewhat from state to state. In short, you will first have to have the vehicle repaired (i.e. “reconstruction process”) per your state’s guidelines, have the vehicle inspected, and complete and submit the proper DMV forms. Then the DMV will issue you a title. The last step is to register and insure the vehicle to be driven on the roads. Please verify the exact procedures with your state`s DMV. For your convenience, please refer to our Reconstruction Info page (, , then ), where we post links to websites containing state-by-state reconstruction procedures. Please note all information contained on the linked websites is independent from RideSafely.com. Please check with your state`s DMV for exact procedures. We do not know or guarantee that any of the vehicles listed on our site can be reconstructed or titled in any particular state or country.

Can you tell me how much it would cost to repair a vehicle?

Ridesafely.com does not repair vehicles and, for legal reasons, does not provide repair estimates. Prices for new parts can be obtained from a local authorized dealer (of your vehicle make). Prices for used parts can be obtained from a local salvage yard or an on-line auction site.

I received my vehicle and discovered additional damages, including undercarriage issues and other latent defects not visible in the pictures. What are my options?

All vehicles listed on RideSafely.com are sold “as-is,” which means we unfortunately cannot offer recourse for additional damages discovered upon receipt, including undercarriage issues or latent defects not apparent in photographs. We advise customers to be aware that salvage vehicles may harbor unseen damages. RideSafely.com, along with its affiliated dealers, does not receive detailed damage reports or comprehensive vehicle histories from Insurance Auctions. Consequently, we are not privy to any latent defects or previous repair work on vehicles. It’s also important to note that RideSafely.com and its affiliates are unaware of any repairs that vehicles might have undergone, nor can we assess the quality of such repairs. We urge all our customers to bid with full awareness of these conditions.

For further assistance or queries, the RideSafely team is always at your service. Feel free to reach out to us directly at (215) 289-0300 for personalized support.
