From Unboxing to Cross-Border: The Seamless VEP Journey Most Drivers Don’t Get | MyMechanic

For many drivers, the VEP process feels like a maze: online steps, waiting for the sticker, guessing the placement, and then hoping it scans at the gate. The result? Anxiety, wasted tags, and border delays.

What DIY Looks Like (Stressful, Risky, Uncertain)

• Unbox, then doubt: “Where exactly should this go?”
• Placement roulette: conflicting guides and no way to test at home
• "Active" online ≠ readable at the scanner
• Peel-and-re-stick mistakes that weaken adhesion
• Finding out at the border—when it’s too late to fix

What MyMechanic Looks Like (Calm, Clear, Complete)

• Unboxing to install: fully guided, no guesswork
• Correct placement: optimized zone for scanner readability
• Activation support: proper linking in the system
• Real-world testing: practical verification, not assumptions
• Border-ready confidence: leave knowing, not hoping
