What damage is caused by towing car with parking break on?
Jun 19, 2008 by gvrocha1976 | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs
I have a 1998 Honda Civic and I have just towed it for about 1,100 miles. I used a tow dolly that grabs the car by its front tires and leaves the two rear tires on the ground. I have forgotten to disengage the parking break before towing.
As a minimum, you will have burned out your rear pads.
You could have also damaged your rotors, this is likely as well. 1100 is a bleedin long way. They will have a heat scalding as a minimum and need to be machined.
