When a car breaks down, stress levels are high, and it's easy to fall prey to misinformation. Over the years, several myths about roadside assistance (RSA) in Malaysia have circulated among Singaporean drivers. Believing these myths can lead to poor decisions, unnecessary costs, or even compromise your safety.
Truth: While your basic Singapore car insurance might offer minimal third-party coverage in Malaysia, it often doesn't include comprehensive roadside assistance or full coverage for repairs. Always check your policy for a specific Malaysia extension and dedicated RSA benefits. MyMechanic provides direct RSA regardless of your insurance.
Truth: Highway patrols like PLUS Ronda are excellent for initial safety and traffic management. However, their primary role is not to fix your car or tow it to your preferred workshop. They will often call a third-party tow truck. Calling MyMechanic directly means we can coordinate the right help (repair or tow) to your preferred destination from the start.
Truth: There are different types of tow trucks (wheel-lift, flatbed). Modern cars, especially EVs and AWD vehicles, often require flatbed towing to prevent damage. MyMechanic ensures the correct type of tow truck is dispatched for your specific vehicle.
Truth: Waiting on the roadside, especially on a busy highway or at night, is extremely dangerous. Relying on a friend means they might not have the right tools, expertise, or safety equipment. Professional RSA is always the safer and often faster option.
Truth: The cost of a breakdown (lost time, potential further damage to your car, safety risks, and stress) often far outweighs the cost of professional RSA. Investing in reliable RSA is investing in your peace of mind and safety.
