What to Do if Your Car Breaks Down in Johor Bahru?

A stress-free guide to handling emergencies across the border with MyMechanic.

Breaking down in a foreign city like Johor Bahru (JB) can be a nerve-wracking experience — especially if you're unfamiliar with the area or stranded near the Singapore-Malaysia border. Whether you’re on a short trip or a frequent crosser, being prepared makes all the difference.

1

Stay Calm and Safe

Switch on your hazard lights and pull over to a safe, visible spot. If on a highway, only exit the vehicle when safe. Otherwise, stay inside with your seatbelt fastened.

2

Assess the Problem (If Possible)

Understanding the issue helps us help you faster. Common problems include:

Dead or weak car battery
Overheated engine
Flat or punctured tyre
Car won’t start or stalls
VEP or RFID malfunction

Keep a Record for Safety

If the incident involves another vehicle or damage, take clear photos and videos. This documentation is invaluable for insurance claims and workshop references.

Watch Out for VEP-Related Issues

Sometimes the breakdown isn't mechanical—it's digital. An expired, damaged, or missing VEP RFID tag can prevent you from crossing the border. MyMechanic is your expert for VEP registration, renewals, and troubleshooting.
