breakdown

My AA policy is up for renewal next month. Home relay etc, joint policy for £166. I reckon that's a tad steep. I use the car occasionally, so work wouldn't be affected. What do you think? RAC, AA, Green Flag?

Hi, My w203 230K is 3yrs old in 1 month, normally I would change at this time but the car has been so reliable and still drives at 45k as if it were new, so I have decided to keep it. I have just been provided with an unsolicited quote from Mercedes Breakdown Insurance for 12 months cover at...

Hi All, I am new to MB Club. My new C220 CDI is 03 reg. Somebody told me that all the MB car get breakdown coverage from MB. Is that correct or do i have to take Breakdown coverage from AA or RAC? Cheers and Many Thanks,

My annual trans-European breakdown cover expires soon, so I thought I'd talk to the RAC (who now do my UK cover). They quoted me £99 per annum, plus another £100 as all the cars I'd be taking abroad are over 11 years old. Then it turns out that MBClub.co.uk are on their list of Affiliated...

We have very recently had occasion to use the mobilio service and as a result of this I have just received a questionnaire. I was extremely impressed with most aspects of the service, but before returning the form I thought I would ask here to see if anyone has anything constructive they would...

has anyone hear of this? Last sunday I tried starting my car when, halfway through turning the engine over, it just stopped and threw up " batt/alternator--visit workshop" after that, NO engagement of starter motor happened. Cutting to chase, after recovering to specialist, they identified the...

If you have mobilo life,is it necessary to have breakdown cover like AA or RAc as well ?

I'm currently with the AA, due for renewal in September @ £45 per annum for roadside repair or a tow home or to the nearest garage. To include home start bumps the price up to somewhere near £125. Can anyone recommend similar cover at a cheaper price with a reliable company? Just need...

Planning our family holiday right now, which will involve around 3000 miles of driving on the continent over two weeks. My normal AA membership doesn't cover me for breakdowns over there so, in view of the fact that the car should be covered by Mobilio, do I really need to buy additional cover...

I was reading that the newly relaunched breakdown service for UK cars is having 'a few problems' or 'total collapse' depending on who is doing the writing. Any recent experience or is it teething troubles...?

Car suddenly 'died' on me today and would'nt start again. Bummer. Sounded very much like a lack of Diesel but gauge showed just under 1/4 tank. Phoned Mobilo-Life and asked for assistance. Advised them it 'may' have run out of fuel but gauge said otherwise. Anyway, got my mate from work...
