Hey guys, my car was towed Friday night (no, I wasn't at a bar So $140.00 later I've bailed her out but was wondering if y'all could give me a hint as to what to watch out for/look for as far as any possible damages done to her. They told me she was towed from the rear wheels and just 3-4 miles so I'm thinking any unusual wear or damages would be in the front end (struts/shocks, etc) but want feedback from you as to something I might not be thinking about. I did a road trip the next day and handling wasn't affected from what I could tell but just want to make sure that nothing else is screwed up. Any ideas? Thanks everybody!!

 

hi, how did your paint under the front facia hold up, any scratches?

 

I didn't see any damages to it but haven't really crawled underneath to check things out--it seems ok, no steering problems or anything.

 

I'd check to see if any of the exhaust components or the sheet metal on the bottom of the trunk got bent. If they used a sling there will be visable evidence. If they picket it up by the wheels then you might be ok.

I hope you have "Active Anti Theft" cos that would have made for an annoying tow. Once the inclination sensor gets tripped the horn blares and the lights flash.

 

I'm not seeing any damages to the front or rear valance--I'm hoping they just snatched the rear wheels and just did it that way. Thanks for the feedback amigo's!

 

Where I am from, tow trucks with slings are not allowed unless they are for salvage vehicles

I am guessing you are ok
