I saw a lot of people said it was $115 for MB road assistance ( not sure if this is including tax or not). I would like to know the answer too since my car's battery died too right now and I am not available until about 5pm today.
Anybody can give more input?
TIA

i just called mercedes roadside assistance, and they came to fix it. They charge me like $115.52 total no labor or anything, infact he said they come for free if you need a jump anywhere. He came in like 30 mins, replaced the battery and reset my radio. Just call roadside and they let you know everything, price and whatnot cause im not sure if all batteries are the same. But all you pay for is the battery, no labor or anything, tax included in price. Your best bet is to do roadside.

Thanks for the input. I am still waiting for the road assistance to come. He was gonna come to where I was initially but the car can be started...Long story --> short, I really need a new battery and just waiting for him to come.
Forgot to ask: did the road assistance accept credit card? sorry if this is a dum question, I just havent dealt w/ this before
THanks again

Finally the guy came and did the batt change. It costs me about $117.xx including tax and no labor fee.
I think the service is ok not really what I expected cos probably the guy is still new w/ MB ( just working with MB for 8 months).
