MyMechanic supports clear, upfront payment confirmation and simple options so there are no surprises after the job is done.
eWallets: Great for speed and traceability if both sides use compatible apps. Useful in cities and popular corridors.
Cards (credit/debit): Reliable and trackable; best when there’s connectivity for terminals or secure pay links.
Cash: Still useful for remote areas or weak connectivity, but plan small denominations and confirm amounts before handing over.
eWallets: Fast, Digital, and Paperless
Why they’re useful
Things to prepare

How to carry it smart

Simple Payment Flow That Reduces Stress
MyMechanic uses a clear, step‑by‑step flow so drivers know the plan and payment method upfront—no guesswork in the rain.
Confirm the service scope and destination (on‑the‑spot vs tow; to Malaysian workshop or back to Singapore).
Confirm payment method before dispatch (eWallet, card, or cash backup).
Keep the phone charged (carry a power bank) to complete OTPs/links.
Request a digital receipt or completion note for records and insurance claims.
Common Scenarios and What Works Smoothly
Highway shoulder tow in heavy rain
Mall or R&R jump‑start
Late‑night tow to a workshop
Remote area, weak reception
Paperwork That Helps After Payment
Screenshot pay confirmation or keep the SMS receipt.
Ask for a job sheet or brief completion note (service performed, time, location, destination).
Take photos of the car before and after loading (especially for modified cars) for peace of mind.
