its a good deal they usually charge you less for the battery and install it for free.

My alternator is junk. The car died in the road, in traffic. I am now "that guy" Good thing was only a mile away from my house.

I heard the same thing, that this was the best way to get a new Mercedes battery at a good price.

Sorry to hear about the fun on the road. You did get over to the side? We had a woman just sit in the middle of the left lane the other day. We asked if she wanted to push the car to the side and she said no she would just wait for the tow truck. This was on I-5 during rush hour. So how do you like the Droid?

I hope you had better luck with Roadside Assistance than the American wife did last summer at 2am. She had a tire go flat in the middle of nowhere on a 2 lane highway 2 hours out from Las Vegas. They told her that they had no idea where she was, despite her giving them her coordinates from Google Maps, and that she should call 911. Oh, and if she needed a tow truck they MIGHT pay for it. They are more or less useless from my point of view.
