FAQ's
What should I do if my car breaks down?
If your car breaks down while driving, the first priority is safety. If possible, steer the vehicle to the left and pull off the road or onto the shoulder, away from moving traffic. Turn on your hazard lights immediately to alert other drivers. Once you're safely stopped, apply the handbrake and, if you have them, place warning triangles or flares behind the vehicle. Stay in the car if you're on a busy road or highway — it's generally safer than standing outside. Once you're in a safe position, call a mechanic or roadside assistance service to let them know your location and what's happened. Try to describe any warning lights, sounds or smells you noticed before the breakdown, as this helps the mechanic prepare for what they might find when they arrive.
What does emergency roadside assistance cover?
Emergency roadside assistance typically covers the most common reasons a vehicle stops working unexpectedly. This includes jump starting or replacing a flat battery, helping with a flat tyre, providing a small amount of emergency fuel if you've run out, and basic mechanical assessments to identify why the car won't start or drive. In many cases, a qualified mechanic attending a breakdown can fix the issue on the spot and have you back on the road without needing a tow. If the problem is more serious — such as a major mechanical failure or electrical fault — roadside assistance will usually include arranging a tow to a workshop where the vehicle can be properly assessed and repaired.
Can a mechanic fix my car on the side of the road?
In many cases, yes. A qualified mechanic attending a breakdown can diagnose and fix a wide range of issues on the spot, without needing to tow the vehicle to a workshop. Common roadside repairs include replacing a flat battery, fixing a loose or broken connection, addressing minor fuel system issues and resolving faults that prevent the car from starting. The feasibility of a roadside repair depends on the nature of the problem, the tools the mechanic has available and whether the required parts are on hand. If the issue turns out to be something more serious — like a blown head gasket, major electrical fault or internal engine damage — the mechanic will let you know and help arrange for the vehicle to be taken to a workshop for further assessment.
