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. |
i very much disagree with you on what you just wrote and quite frankly that experience you had doesnt really speak for the broad population who actually use this service, i have used them several times for an older...85 S class, and they were always there, in all fairness they sometimes take a while just like any other roadside would, you have to put into consideration how many other customers they cater to though and no I personally dont think its a "marketing gimick" they actually do help people.
