Your Lowered Car is Stranded in Malaysia. Who Do You Call? | MyMechanic

The Unique Headaches of Modified Suspensions

  • Lowered Cars & Bodykits: This is the most obvious problem. A standard tow truck with a steep ramp is a guaranteed way to crack your front bumper, scrape your side skirts, and damage your exhaust.
  • Stiff Coilovers: They feel great on a smooth road, but they are unforgiving on Malaysia's more unpredictable surfaces. A bad pothole can be the final straw for a stiffly sprung car.
  • Air Suspension: A fantastic mod, but a leak in an airbag or a failed compressor can leave your car literally on the ground, making it impossible to move without specialist gear.

The Non-Negotiable Rules of Towing a Modified Car

1. It HAS to be a Low-Angle Flatbed

    2. Soft Straps Around the Tyres Only

      Common Ways a Modified Car Can Get You Stuck

      • Blowing a coilover strut after hitting a nasty pothole you didn't see coming.
      • An air suspension leak that makes one corner of your car sag sadly to the ground.
      • Cracking your oil pan on a speed bump that was way taller than it looked.
      • Damaging a tyre because of your aggressive wheel setup (camber or stretched tyres).
