Thanks and the towing charges you pay out of your own pocket or can claim also.My towing was covered by my insurance due to breakdown from malacca to Singapore. what happened to your car? if its a breakdown never try to tow to workshop nearby see if they can settle? at least can continue with the trip.. of cuz if its a new car i know not many will dare to repair their car in msia which is understandable.

inlinesix Hypersonic July 26, 2018 Share July 26, 2018 Maybe can call up AA singapore to check on this. If they also support towing of vehicle in case of accident in outside singapore, then it is good to become member with them. https://www.aas.com.sg/membership/membership-benefits.html#%E2%80%83professional-roadside-assistance-24-7-help-to-get-you-back-on-the-road-in-no-time Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galantspeedz Turbocharged July 26, 2018 Share July 26, 2018 I think I need to edit my post. When I was panicking and googling for towing services in Malaysia, I came across AA (Malaysia) number and I called them. But they said I have to be a member, which I believe if u are a member of AA (Singapore), u should be able to use services in AAM. Now that I checked again, it says u are able to enjoy reciprocal service in 8 other countries including Msia but only for breakdown and not accident. And also services are chargeable. I am not exactly sure. Anybody with AAS membership here? yes if you are member of AA singapore, they will direct you to call AA malaysia.. i rem i paid rm700 to tow from JB to SG. The tow truck uncle say only AA member have these rates if not, it is usually about rm900-rm1k+ depending how much workshop want to carrot. He also mentioned all trucks using JB customs truck lane have to pay RM300 to customs even for empty truck... not sure true anot... mine was about later afternoon or early evening on a Sat.... not sure why you say need to wait for truck lane to open at 12mn 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good if they support, pay is ok. Afterall think AAM should be better and trusted than others towing service. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voodooman Supersonic July 26, 2018 Share July 26, 2018 Glad all is well. Looks like I should consider AAS membership again but it is totally useless to call them in SG, they don’t have sufficient towing capacity. Last tow I was told to wait 1.5 hours for the tow truck, I had to call another towing company, which arrived in 30mins. Anyway, city folks like us have a tendency to drive real close to the vehicle infront, even on a high speed driveway. If you drive overseas in countries with huge land mass, the locals will usually get very nervous when it is a city folk is tailing them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
