Towing service in Turku 24/7 — find the nearest towing company

A breakdown in Turku rarely happens at a convenient moment

Whether your car won't start in a parking garage, a tyre bursts near Kupittaa, or your trip through central Turku is interrupted for some other reason, what matters most is finding a local towing or roadside assistance company you can call directly. HinausSuomi brings together the towing companies operating in Turku so you can see your options and decide for yourself who to contact.

HinausSuomi itself is not a towing company or a dispatch centre. It simply helps you see what's available nearby — the actual agreement on price, timing and destination is always made directly between you and the company you choose.

Towing companies in Turku on HinausSuomi

Turku currently has 3 published towing companies listed on HinausSuomi. You can browse them all in the directory of towing companies, or use the map on the front page to also see nearby options if your vehicle happens to be on the outskirts of the city or near a municipal border.

All municipalities in Varsinais-Suomi, along with their towing companies, are gathered on the regional page. From there you can also reach neighbouring municipalities if the nearest available company turns out to be based a little further away.

How to find help on the map

1. Open the front page and share your location. This shows which towing companies are currently closest to you.
2. Compare the options. Distance on the map is only a rough guide — a company's vehicle may be out on another job at that exact moment.
3. Call the company you choose. Ask directly whether they can come and how soon.
4. Share the key details. Your location, the vehicle's make and model, a description of the problem, and whether the car is in a safe spot.
5. Agree on price and next steps. Also ask whether the job can be billed through insurance.

If the first company can't help right away, you can go back and try another. With three companies to choose from, there's often one that can respond on short notice.

The most common reasons Turku residents need help

Flat or damaged tyre

A flat tyre doesn't always require towing — many companies can patch the tyre or fit a spare on the spot. If the rim or suspension is damaged, the car is taken to an agreed garage or tyre shop instead.

Technical faults

An unexpected technical fault, such as a warning light or an unusual noise, is worth taking seriously. Avoid continuing your journey if something seems clearly wrong — describe the symptoms over the phone so the company can judge whether towing is needed.

Flat battery

A jump start often solves the problem without towing, especially in cold weather or after the car has been parked for a long time. If the battery won't hold a charge, the vehicle may need to go to a garage instead.

Keys locked inside the car

If your keys are locked inside, a lockout service can usually open the car on the spot without any damage. Have the make and model ready when you call.

Empty tank or wrong fuel

Fuel delivery helps when the tank runs dry mid-trip. If the wrong fuel has been put in, do not start the engine — explain the situation directly to the towing company.

Collisions and other traffic accidents

After an accident, the vehicle is moved out of traffic and taken to a garage or for a damage assessment. If anyone is injured or other traffic is at risk, call the emergency number 112 first.

What about cost and insurance?

The price a towing company quotes depends on factors such as pickup location, time of day and the size of the vehicle. Always ask for an estimate before work begins. Many comprehensive insurance policies cover towing and roadside assistance under their terms, but the exact scope and any deductible always depend on your own policy — it's worth confirming with your insurer or asking the towing company directly, as many can bill the eligible work straight to the insurer.

Who decides where the car is taken?

The destination — your own garage, an authorised repair shop, home, or another agreed location — is decided together with the towing company. If insurance is covering the trip, the policy terms may limit coverage to the nearest suitable destination. It's worth checking in advance what your policy covers and what any additional distance might cost.

Why call a local Turku company directly?

Instead of going through a single national hotline, contacting a local company directly gives you more clarity: you know exactly who's answering, and you can ask straight away whether they can arrive within a reasonable time. Among Turku's three towing companies, there is often one able to help quickly without unnecessary middlemen.
