I've used Mobilo once, about 18 months ago, after locking my keys in the boot of my SL with the roof down, 200 miles from home. The MB tech turned up I think within about half an hour, and decided to refresh his lock picking skills on the boot. I was at a car event, and he attracted a few interested onlookers, so after about 15 minutes of fiddling he got fed up and went the IT route by opening the door, plugging in his laptop and unlocking it via Star.
During out conversation he was saying how MB's own vans and techs were being pulled, and that in future the RAC would be carrying out Mobilo calls, with little more than standard equipped vans. There was some mention of the cost of licensing from the Star aspect and I got the impression that Mobilo life was to become the same as any other breakdown service with no real Mercedes expertise or equipment on board.
