Default Vehicle Towing

My vehicle was towed yesterday after being in a clearway four minutes over the time. Question is, car was in 1st gear (manual) and the handbrake on. Do they just drag it onto the flatbed truck? What do they attach to as the eyebolt attachment is in my boot? What damage should I be looking for? Can't see anything noticeable underneath but curious as to what they attached the winch to.

They'd attach it to the eyebolt attachment.....That's the easiest and quickest way for the to drag it.

Damage...Possible rear brake damage and geabox damage....if you're thinking about making a claim for damages, good luck....Don't think you'll get too far.

Please read the manual carefully, as the these manufacturers spent millions of dollars making sure it is perfect.....Now why are there so many problems with my car, when I follow the instructions to the letter?....Answer, majority rules round here


Lock me up and throw away the key because I'm a hoon....I got caught doing 59 in a 60 zone
