The correct way to complete the sentence is without a hyphen, "... her long trip, she was grateful she'd asked the dealer about readily available parts when..."
Why can't we use the hyphen?
We usually place a hyphen between two words that are used together functioning as one adjective. For example:
- A two-story house was sold on my street.
However, that is not the case when the first word of the compound adjective ends in -ly. As we know, the ending -ly commonly appears in adverbs, such as "readily" or "rightly." Since the adverb modifies the word that comes after it automatically, there is no need for a hyphen here.
For that reason, the correct way to complete the sentence in the question is:
- When Sarah's car developed a problem during her long trip, she was grateful she'd asked the dealer about readily available parts when buying the car.
