Emergency Engine Overhaul Assistance on Malaysian Highways

Engine trouble on the highway is stressful—especially far from home with fast-moving traffic. MyMechanic specialises in supporting Singapore-registered cars throughout Malaysia with quick roadside response, on‑site fixes, safe towing, and even VEP/RFID help.

First Things First: Safety Steps

• Pull over safely to the emergency lane or a lay-by.
• Switch on hazard lights and keep passengers behind the guardrail.
• Place a warning triangle 50–100m behind to alert traffic.
• Call the PLUS Highway Hotline or use SOS phones while arranging roadside help.

How MyMechanic Helps When the Engine Acts Up

• Rapid roadside response across Johor & major Malaysian corridors.
• On‑site diagnosis and minor repairs for overheating, leaks, belts, hoses, electrical faults.
• Battery rescue — jumpstarts & replacements when charging issues mimic engine failure.
• Tyre & fuel assistance to resolve punctures or low fuel during breakdown.
• Professional towing when on‑site repair isn’t safe or enough.
• VEP/RFID troubleshooting for non-scanning tags or border clearance issues.

Practical Tips to Prevent Highway Engine Meltdown

• Pre-trip checks: coolant, oil, belts, hoses, battery, tyres.
• Watch the temperature gauge and act early if it spikes.
• Never open a hot radiator cap — wait for cooling to avoid burns.
• Keep essentials: reflective vest, triangle, power bank, water, emergency contacts.
• Ensure VEP/RFID validity to reduce stress near CIQ/Tuas.
