Thanks for pointing me in the right direction! I found some directions, while not perfect, I was able to get it linked. I will give it a try later today.
Here are the direction if anyone else is looking to connect their cars with Google Home.

I was just able to add the skills to my Amazon Alexa as well. Pretty straight forward.

Here is a short list of the skills you can do through Google.

It seems that I cannot say "hey Google, tell Mercedes to lock my car" as it wants to test my dealership from my contacts. I have to say, "ok Google, talk to Mercedes" then I connect to the app and can request the commands.

I got it going not through Google Home but the Google "Assistant" app. Tap the small round icon to the right of the mic button on the app, then type Mercedes me and if you have the Mercedes me already installed its icon will pop up. Follow instructions for Me account login, give it a four-digit pin and you're good to go. I got the car started through the suggested voice command. Just got the new car yesterday and setting things up.
