Safety Inspection List

On every vehicle Rightway purchases or takes in on trade to sell, Rightway hires an independent service shop to inspect and service the vehicle to ensure it is safe for our customers to drive.  Please note that since these are used vehicle purchases there may be some minor cosmetic and non-safety related items that, depending on the vehicle, we may elect to not repair to keep your costs down.  However ALL safety related issues will be serviced immediately!

Also, if the vehicle needs too much work and cannot affordably be made safe to drive, we immediately wholesale the vehicle rather than sell it to our customers!  Lastly, Rightway is more than happy to allow you to have the vehicle inspected by your own mechanic prior to delivery if you would like.
