I was going very slow (5-10kph), on gravel,tiny stones and medium ones (which were strongly connected to the ground) until I reached the parking space. I’m afraid I damaged something by moving rocks under the car, what should I look for after driving in such condition? Should I really be worried? Or are they somewhat reliable in such conditions?

    People drive in gravel and on dirt roads all the time. Unless you heard a big rock hit the underside of your car you are fine.

    In a Corolla?? Those things are tanks. Not saying you should treat it as such, but they’re very dependable. No need to worry.

    OP…. I think a lot of us are trying to refrain from being rude here. But please know…… there are people that drive on dirt and gravel roads and driveways EVERY DAY for YEARS.

    Yes, this can lead to some paint chipping underneath. But hey, we don’t eat off the bottom of our cars, right? It’ll be just fine.

      Even when stones (tiny most likely) hit the bottom part and I hear krhkrhrkrhrh of the impacts all the way? I’m hella paranoid I need a treatment x)
