Nice to flip down your visor, call the Number and know for sure someone will

I did that once, called them on New Years day for a flat tire via TeleAid, took about 20 min to make the call, they said they would come out. I got bored after 15 minutes and called AAA. AAA came in about 20 minutes, spent about 30 minute trying to figure out how to change the flat (C-Coupe with deflated spare) and I was on my way, during that whole time, MB never came or called back. So would I depend on MB roadside assistance or Tele-Aid, never, to me it's a totally useless service, more of a marketing gimick. Maybe in your area it works, in So Cal it's just marketing.
