Towing Issues: Towing Damage, rear wheels, front wheel drive


Question
My front wheel drive Toyota Sienna was repossessed the other night.  The repo person towed the car by the rear 100 feet down the driveway (car was in park, no dolly, tire/skid marks all the way down).  What damage should I anticipate this causing to the transmission (over 150,000 miles, tires (<3000 miles), and anything else that I am unaware of?  Also, then the car was towed 2 hours away by front end.  Anything I should be aware of with that?

Answer
First off, I wouldn't be surprised if the tires had flat spots, meaning vibration. I would document everything and take pictures for any possible damage claim issues. As for the transmission and strain on the drivetrain my suggestion is consulting a ASE certified transmission mechanic that knows this type of transmission. I can speculate and make assumptions but can definitely say that it wasn't the correct thing to do! As for the two hour on the rear wheels, that is fine as long as you don't have the AWD version.
