Changes for MB Roadside....You may be SOL read.
Hey guys just figured id let you all know, If you enjoy using MB roadside for a jump, keys a tow or a battery replacement the rules have changed.
If your not under a factory or CPO warr, and your cars older then 6 years from the current day you need service. YOU ARE NOT qualified to get roadside and it wont be free of charge.
TO CIRCUMVENT THIS ISSUE: you need to spend atleast 100 dollars at an MB DEALER (not some MB shop a DEALER) in the past 18 months to be able to still be "active" to recieve the roadside services.
Being many of your cars when I ran checks said "Does not qualify" for roadside, I wanted to let you know so you arent stuck on the side of the road.
Also most dealers offer a "oil change" thats a smidge over 100 bucs and wash and vaccume, so its not a bad thought to do it to keep the roadside..this is just IMO
Hope this helps some one

Yeah, I got the letter almost a year ago and posted about the changes.. although I thought that you needed to spend $200. I spent $58 at a dealer on Saturday.. that's the first $58 I've ever spent at a dealer.

Who'd you heard that from? Also, does it have to be $100 in a single purchase, or can it be spread out around multiple dealers totaling more than $100? I usually mail order anything more expensive than $100 except for heavy items like batteries or fluids

YOU HAVE TO SPEND OVER 100 DOLLARS AT A DEALER, and NO spending small amounts doesnt count and it must be service, not parts. Also this was just told to us a month ago, and I have had an MB for a long time and never got a letter, so this isnt an old update

It took effect January 1, 2011 according to the letter several of us got last year regarding the changes. Again, not sure why you were so far behind. At least we are all up to speed now. I have the letter in my file if you'd like a photo posted.
