Auto Insurance Claims: Steering wheel crooked, tow company, steering wheel


Question
I recently had my car towed.  When I was driving home from the tow company, I realized that my driving wheel was turned more to the right even though my car was going straight.  Is it possible that my car was damaged during the towing.  Is it possible that the towing put my car out of alignment?  If this is a result of the tow company should I notify them?

Answer
Hi Colleen,

Yes it is possible the alignment was knocked out from the tow. The problem is proving it. Tow companies are notorious for causing damage and not accepting responsibility for it. You will likely be better of to just go get the alinment done and pay for it.

I hope this helps
