If your transmission was damaged during the towing of your repossessed vehicle which you recovered can you get the towing company or lender to pay for the damages?

Probably not. The risk was yours since towing was the logical next step for failing to meet the requirements of the loan. It was your failure to meet the requirements of the loan which led to the vehicle being repossessed which subsequently caused the vehicle to be towed. All the towing company needs to do is to prove that they used standard towing practices.

Can you keep your car and original title after another driver's auto insurance company has determined that my car is totaled?

It just depends on the terms of the agreement you worked out in the settlement. If you wanna retain ownership this is generally addresses during the claims settlement negotiation. For a reduced loss payment in lieu of salvage value, you can usually retain the vehicle. You can not collect for a full loss amount and then also keep the vehicle. If you did not address retention of the vehicle during the claim then you likely just have to hand the vehicle over to the insurance company because it is no longer your vehicle.

My car was damaged after the repo man picked it up property was stolen as well what are my rights?

It's difficult to prove that a vehicle was damaged during towing unless the damage is directly related to the way the vehicle was towed. Some examples would be AWD (All Wheel Drive) vehicles being towed on 2 wheels destroying the drive train components, damaged bumpers, or bent control arms from tow hooks. As well, personal property is the owners responsibility to keep out of the vehicle at all times. Your best bet is going to be filing a claim with your auto insurance agent (given you had insurance at this point in time.) If you are unable to do so due to being under, or uninsured - contact the bank that owns the vehicle and find out who the tow company that reposessed the vehicle. You may be able to take them to small claims court, and if not get money back on the deal - have the bank reduce the amount you owe if they are found at fault for the damage. If you own the vehicle, and you have taken delivery of it back from the impound, an insurance claim, or small claims court are your best options. If you have photographs of the vehicle taken just before it was reposessed, they will be your best tools in either case to prove the condition of the vehicle was changed during the process.
