Lost in Translation? We Speak Your Language (and Theirs!) | MyMechanic

Why Does This Matter So Much?

A simple misunderstanding can turn a bad situation into a total disaster. Imagine the tow truck going to the wrong place because of a misheard landmark. Or worse, sending the wrong type of truck for your automatic, AWD, or electric vehicle, which can cause serious damage. Then there's the risk of your car ending up at a workshop you didn't agree to, or a nasty surprise when it comes to the bill. Clear communication is everything.

The MyMechanic Difference: Your Bridge to Clear Communication

When you call us, you can forget about the language barrier. You tell us exactly what's happened and where you are in plain English. Then, we take over. We'll relay all the precise, technical details to our trusted Malaysian tow partners in their own language. We make sure everyone is on the same page about the type of truck needed, where the car is going, and the cost—all before anyone even moves. And we'll keep you in the loop, giving you the tow truck's details and estimated arrival time, so you're never left guessing.

The Nitty-Gritty Details We Handle

Translation apps are great for simple phrases, but they often fall short when it comes to the critical, technical details. We make sure nothing gets lost in translation. For example, we'll specify if your car is an automatic, all-wheel drive, or electric, and that it absolutely needs a flatbed tow. We'll tell them if your steering is locked or if the car can't be rolled. And if your car is lowered or has a bodykit, we'll make sure they know to be extra careful with the ramps. Most importantly, we'll confirm the exact workshop address, so your car ends up exactly where it needs to be.
