Does anybody know why my car won't reverse after being towed?

Asked by Maria Aug 10, 2017 at 08:22 PM about the 2010 Chevrolet Malibu 1LT FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I had my car towed from one town to another.  Keep in mind
my car worked perfectly fine.  When I got to the place to
pick up my car, and shifted into reverse MY CAR WOULD
NOT MOVE!!  I shifted to drive and it worked perfectly fine
my car just won't reverse.  Can anybody tell me what the
tow truck may have did wrong?  Also he towed the car from
the body shop to the storage facility with the front of the
car facing down.

sounds like he may have damaged your transmission...good luck...thats a front wheel drive vehicle...the wheels should not have touched the ground.
