Default Quattro moved by tow truck on 2 wheels. Damage?

I had my 3.0 Quattro moved via flatbed to my driveway after a roadside breakdown however when the driver dropped the car in my driveway, he decided that he would move the car up another 10 feet by having the two front wheels on the ground and the two rear wheels on the flatbed (e-brake on and car in neutral). He then backed the truck up 10 feet and re-dropped the car.

I watched the replay from my home security camera as I was not there. I’m wondering if there would be any damage done to the differential or drivetrain??

Thanks!

If it was really in neutral, no. You will be able to tell by the fact that there were no skid marks...

The center differential will spin, but at low speed and short distance, no worries.
