MB Roadside !!! Awesome !
I managed to pop my tires this morning going to work. It was the worst feeling ever !! I was so afraid my wheels would be damaged. DPE Wheels are strong !! They are not even bent !! I had to have rolled on the rim for half a mile down of freeway off ramp.
To make it worst i didnt have a spare. I took it off to put a sub in there. Thanks to MB Roadside for their help. Now i know why i bought a benz ! They came and put my car on a flatbed. Thanks!!
Have any of you used MB roadside assistance?

I used it on my w202 a few times for a jumpstart and they were great. They didn't even accept my tip and they even had a battery in-stock in the car to replace mine with for like around $115.
Good stuff, that's why I don't have AAA.

That looks hot! What is that a 1 and a half/ two inch drop in the rear!
Just kiddin! Yeah MB roadside is great, and free for the lifetime of the vehicle regardles of ownership. I wish VW offered the same service for my brothers car! Next time he calls I'm gonna answer with "Volkswagen roadside assistance, how may I help you with your schitbox today"

yup i used it. Once last year when i had a flat. They came out and replaced it. And once last week. Car wouldn't start (battery completly dead). They tried to charge it but ended up replacing it on the spot with a new one. Both times i offered them a $20 and they wouldn't take it. Very classy

The guy even came out on a alabaster white E55 AMG wagon. I was like wow. While he was working on my car, i was checking his car out. He was from KEYES Mercedes Benz. I wished i had his job. Fix cars all day and cruise in a new E55

glad you got the service asap.. I used Roadside assistance last month when the battery terminal connection died and the service person came within one hour and fixed the problem... very prompt and helpful.
I would rate RoadSide Assistance much better then actually going to the dealership. I got much better service and attention.

Is the roadside service different from the tele-aid thing? I never signed up for it (2nd owner). Would they send roadside service if I pushed the sos button? Or does it not work since Im not subscribed?

I thought they were going to give me a hard time because i had custom wheels and not the stockies. I guess that doesnt matter.
Rims are in great shape. Im so shocked. Not bent in any way. I got new tires and they guy didnt even know i had an accident. Thanks for everyones reply.
I just wanted to make sure everyone knew about this service. Next time you get in a jam. Call roadside !!
