I have a dash cam, before I even started the car or signed their "release paperwork" I reviewed the footage and meticulously inspected the car for 30 minutes(they were actually very nice and polite). I forgot to hang up my parking pass thats why I got towed.

I always reverse park so the operator used multiple dollies and he literally pushed the car like a grocery store cart all the way to his truck lol then he lifted from the back ....took him less than 2 minutes.

So then, why is it a bad idea to do that and have the front wheels down?

I spend the winter in AZ. I see MANY MANY MANY cars being towed behind RV"S by little Old men and women. I'm betting $1000.00 they arent getting under the tow cars and disconecting the drive shafts>>>> Nope >>>>> I can't beleave it that's harmful or there is alot of towed cars in AZ being ruined........
