That makes the Free for Life service MB provides particularity helpful! They'll bring out a couple of gallons of diesel, change a flat tire, jump start and tow the car if needed - all for free - to any MB owner - original buyer or not. That's a pretty good commitment to service. I know, if it needs to be towed they will probably only take it to the nearest dealer, but at least they don;t leave you in the middle of nowhere in the middle of the night -
