Call Mercedes Roadside Assistance for changing battery?

I just came back from the dealer (Service A) and they told me that my battery failed the battery test. They wanted $200 for a new battery but I told them "no thanks". I read on other forums that people just call Mercedes Roadside Assistance and they'll come out and replace the battery for you (you only pay for the cost of the battery $115, no labor charges) and make sure everything is in working order.. is there any truth to this?

Battery

Its all part of their sign & drive pledge. My C320 is still under warranty. I called roadside assist and they came out, replaced battery free. Call them and see what they say.
