1 edit		Car towed with e-brake on

I found out my car was towed today when I went looking for it. It is an AWD SUV with a manual transmission. It was in first gear and the e-brake was on. The person said they put it on a dolly and then on a flat bed to move it.

Is it possible that damage was done to the brakes or anything else?

Thanks.

 As long as the wheels where not dragged during the process (which I am sure they did for a few seconds that made them realize you had the e-brake on then placed dollies for the wheels) then no damage was done to your vehicle.

The only damage that could of also happened was where exactly they connected the harness and if the cable scratched any paint off the front of the vehicle.

Why must you post the same thing in two forums?

I agree with Michierusan, as long as it was not dragged for longer than it might take to tell it was in gear or had the brake set, it should be fine. I doubt that they would admit if they had not used a dolly and actually dragged it onto the flatbed. If you don't notice anything immediate, perhaps have your regular tech inspect it on your next scheduled LOF.
