GRAMMAR INCORRECT TO CORRECT:

Incorrect: He has a car, hasn't he?
Correct: He has a car, doesn't he?

GRAMMAR: Take a look at the following sentences. She is beautiful, isn't she? The students can go home, can't they? They do want to help, don't they? He has walked three miles, hasn't he? In all the examples, the question tag makes use of 'be' verb, or a helping verb like 'can', 'do', 'has', etc.
However, the sentence "He has a car, hasn't he?" 'has' is the main verb, and the sentence doesn't contain a helping verb. When 'has' is the main verb, you cannot make use of it in the questag tag; you have to make use of some of the verb 'do'.
