My 2017 Honda Fit manual trans was towed while I was asleep. I claimed it this morning - no physical damage on the car. But now my rear drum brakes squeak, and if you REALLY slam on the brakes, the car makes a big clunk in the rear end. The towyard clerk said they use dollys, but when I arrived my car was unlocked and not in the gear I left it in. I had to endorse the towing receipt because I was late to work and I was almost past the "extra charge" time increment.

Long story short, my question: what is the worst possible extent of the damage? Car brakes fine and the noise is only the rear. I call the Honda dealer tomorrow to schedule an inspection. I just want to know what to expect.

 

Perhaps the workers just pulled the handbrake tighter than you ever do.


Now they are riding in a different 'spot' and you need the star-wheels inside adjusted, and the shoe-to-backing-plate areas greased.
