Anyone know of a mobile mechanic, anywhere really? as my old car has given up the ghost and will not start!

many car insurances include cover for the cost of getting towed to a garage.

If you are on your way... so push your car for a few tens or hundred meters... am I advising a fraud here?

No I mean a mobile mechanic that can come to my car to get it going, I used them sometimes in the UK!

I don´t think they exist here, if its not freezing then its raining so a mobile mechanic would only have comfortable working conditions for the 1 or 2 weeks per year

I may well be wrong but i have never heard of a mobile mechanic here.

Call your insurance company and find out if your insurance coverage includes "autopalvelu": This covers towing ( Hinaus) to garage/home, Jump-start (If battery is the problem), fuel ( if no fuel) and minor services to see if the car can start. I guess that this is what Mook is referring to.'
Most auto insurance has thie "Autopalvelu" included but none of them ever explain how to use it or what it is..
