Default Anyone with a flatbed

Hi all,

A buddy of mine just had his clutch fail, but it's still covered under warranty. We just need to flatbed it to the dealership. Does anyone know someone with a flatbed truck? Doesn't have to be during business hours.

Thanks!

Clutch likely won't be covered under warranty, since it's a "wear item"....

However, with that said, Honda should reimburse you for any towing expenses if you have it towed by a normal towing company.

Worst-case, I have a car trailer that could be used if it doesn't have to go too far... Just pay me a bit for fuel and my time. Does the car move under its own power AT ALL right now, or is it completely dead (I.E. Am I going to need a winch to pull it onto a trailer or can it be driven on its own??).

Actually it's a Mini with less than 36k. I was over there earlier and it looks like a master or slave cylinder issue. I asked if he was sure it was covered and he was adamant.

Mini's have a peculiar setup. Their master cylinders are completely inside the cabin, however the reservoir is outside.

If it is under warranty,the dealer should cover the tow. Or use a car trailer or have the tow company send a roll back truck.
