Car trouble in Malaysia? Taking the right pictures can save time and headaches. Here’s a simple guide on what to snap for insurance and your workshop—so help arrives prepared and repairs move faster.
You’re safely on the shoulder, hazards blinking—and the instinct is to call for help. Pause for five minutes. Your phone’s camera can capture evidence that speeds up claims and diagnostics. A few clear photos now can prevent paperwork pain later.
At MyMechanic, good photos help us understand what happened and dispatch the right support quickly. Here’s what to capture.
From a safe spot, get full‑car photos with the road and surroundings. Busy highway or quiet lane—context tells the story.
If the door is dented, frame the whole door—not just the dent. Repeat for every affected area so placement is clear.
Take close, sharp photos of scratches, cracks, and broken parts. More is better—you can delete duplicates later.
Capture the instrument cluster clearly with every warning visible—the most important clue for first assessment.
Photograph any liquids under the car. Show origin and colour—dark (oil), reddish (ATF), green/pink (coolant), clear (water/AC condensate).
With engine off and safe, take a few overall engine‑bay photos. A trained eye can spot loose belts, disconnected hoses, or obvious issues.
For flats, shoot the entire wheel, rim, and nearby suspension/brake area—especially if sidewall damage or rim impact is visible.
Tell us you’ve taken dashboard, damage, and location photos. We support Singapore‑registered cars across Malaysia with calm guidance, on‑site help when safe, and proper recovery when needed.
