Restrictions
Every attempt will be made to assist a customer; however, the following circumstances may limit our ability to provide services to you.
Restricted Roadways: Many states/cities have roadways in which unauthorized service vehicles are not permitted.
Acts of Nature: Due to heavy snowstorms, flooding or other acts of nature, ability to obtain service may be limited or in some cases, service may be unavailable. In these cases, you may be asked to call 911.
Vehicle Accessibility: Additional charges may apply for a breakdown location that is not a reasonably accessible roadside location, as determined by our authorized technician or roadside service tow provider. These circumstances include, but are not limited to, parking garages that may inhibit tow services' ability to access and retrieve disabled vehicles, and vehicles that are in off-road locations.
A program of this magnitude simply would not be possible without the enthusiastic support of Mercedes-Benz dealers. It's reassuring to know that virtually all Mercedes-Benz dealers across the continental United States, Hawaii and Alaska, participate in this program. Roadside Assistance service will be provided to all customers by an authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer within an approximately 30-mile radius. Depending on the circumstances, these services may be provided by an outside independent service provider, courtesy of Mercedes-Benz Roadside Assistance.
