On-demand roadside help for a breakdown, dead battery, or sudden mechanical issue — a mechanic dispatched to your location within Mechiee's coverage radius.
Book This ServiceStarting from ₹299 dispatch charge.
A breakdown never happens at a convenient time, and the priority in that moment isn't a full diagnosis — it's getting a mechanic to you as quickly as possible so you're not stranded. Emergency Breakdown Assistance dispatches a verified mechanic to your exact location for immediate, on-the-spot help with common roadside issues — a dead battery, a stalled engine, a chain that's come off, or a puncture. You get live tracking of the mechanic's arrival from the moment the request is accepted, so you know exactly how far away help is.
Common Symptoms
- The bike suddenly won't start
- The engine has stalled and won't restart
- A puncture or flat tyre while riding
- The chain has come off or jammed
- Any sudden mechanical issue that's left you stranded

Frequently Asked Questions
Common roadside issues like a dead battery, a chain that's come off, minor electrical faults, or a puncture can often be resolved on the spot. More involved mechanical failures may need a follow-up garage visit, which the mechanic will explain clearly.
This depends on your distance from available mechanics and current traffic conditions. Once a mechanic accepts your request, you can track their live location and estimated arrival.
