Can I drive a salvage vehicle home?

/0 Comments/in /by

No, it is not legally permissible to drive a salvage vehicle on public roads until it has undergone the necessary “reconstruction” process. Generally, the vehicle must be towed to your preferred location. Following that, the vehicle needs to undergo a “reconstruction” process according to the guidelines set by your state. Only after the completion of this process can you register and insure the vehicle for road use.

What is the Reconstruction process?

/0 Comments/in /by

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.
