    I've got a question,

    My car was towed last night (my bad/fault), I don't mind paying for the penalty (lesson learned )

    But I'm really worried if it may have caused any transmission damage due to towing. Its a front-wheel drive, was on "P" and engaged hand brake. I'm pretty sure they towed it from behind since the towing mechanism was placed there. Since it was set to P, will it have any damage sa transmission or anything? The front wheels were angled a bit sideways when I retrieved it, it means they didn't used dollies in front wheels.

    Sorry its my first time experience to get towed and I'm really worried for any long time damage effect

    Hope someone could share their knowledge on this situation.

    Have it checked. Having the drive wheels spinning while in Park is going to damage something.

    Oh man..

    Alright. I'll have this specifically checked on my next PMS. Thanks!

    Not ASAP? You MAY risk more damage the more you use it. At least give the service adviser a call just to see if you can still use it without adding more damage.
