i was qouted from a towing guy from KEDAH back to jb border(Customs) to sg at a price of RM 800....thats the best i can get.hope this helps u roughly on how much it will cost ur pocket....

 

Prices quote is not from the abovementioned but this is on my own personal experience on towing services from M'sia

Guys, if ur bike breakdown within johor u can call wee at 07-2343419,

formely was looi's mechanic,now open his own workshop at bukit indah,jb.he provide

towing service also,those looi's regular customer might know this guy..

another alternate way to tow ur bike from north side is by train.my friend did it before,

not sure about the price but definitely very cheap..

[fattsum]

by train is definitely cheaper.. jus tat u also gotta tow it to train station, wait for the train may be overnite if u missed it... take longer time to reach here and another tow service needed... u might save a 2 or 3 hundred RM... but then wait longer...

for the price depends on where to where lah.. i think better call him personally so u can bargain also..

From my experience, Malaysia NSH patrol does not provide towing service for bikes.

 

But they can help to jumpstart the bike if needed.

I'm not sure, cos that time I ask the Plus officer and he say have.. But my malay lang cannot make it and he doesn't speak english so maybe what he was trying to tell me is that they would be able to arrage for tow service if my bike breaks down.. Anyone can comfirm? Maybe once we gather enough info can ask mod to put in Sticky theard

They will offer to tow to their workshop

But everything can be settled with some 'kopi-money'.

Once I got a flat tire and they load my bike up on their pickup.

They don't have anything to secure the bike,

so I got to hold on to my bike while being transported to Gelang Patah Esso.

That's the furthest they will go.

From there, just need to find ways to get back to S'pore side.

(Pushing, bike-towing, reinforcement from bikers kakis, whatever method...)

Once back, towing shouldn't be a prob.

 

Total towing fee: kopi$=RM10 and Local towing=$20

Wouldn't recommend this method, unless you are really hard-up on cash.
