Now exterior wise th ere was non however the car was grabbed (pulled out of the spot) from the back while the ebrake was up and then hooked in the front and towed now would ther be any suspension damage or ebrake damage? Thanks in advance.....

Was it towed from the front or back? Our TL should be towed on a flatbed. Do you smell anything burnt from the brakes?
Why was it towed?

it was towed because of the apt complex my friend was in... its gated and around here you vary rarely have reserved spots in a gated community and i was there for like 5 m in.....as i came out the tow man was trying to open the car so that he can put the e brake down..but he had already towed it for like 30 feet at that time....

There shouldn't be any problem. Do you feel anything different?

If he disengaged the ebrake there is no problem. TL's don't have to have a flat bed to be towed it would be nice but it is not necessary. I have towed mine on a wheel lift personally and had no issues. Dragging it out of a spot, flat spots the tires but if he is a good impounder he would have used gojacks or dollies which go under the front wheels allowing it to be hooked from the rear and pulled out easily. If you think it has damage have a No VA dealer look at it.
