Mobilo help

[Chas]

My S320 (2001) has a full MB service history, is it still covered by Mobilo and if my car breaks down and they can't fix it do they take it to your UK destination or only the nearest MB dealer? Also if someone other than me is driving it does Mobilo assist ?

Thanks

MERRY XMAS

Not so, I have Admiral recovery and it transfers cars no problem.

I,m with the AA and I have roadside repair/or recovery, and have had both cars at some point either repaired at the roadside or recovered home, in the last 12 months, (both cars in excess of ten years old, and both have in excess of 150,000 miles.

Looked into this as I rely on AA coverage.

If you have vehicle specific coverage the AA will not relay if over 10 years old. If you have personal cover, not tied to a specific vehicle they will, based on current terms and conditions.

I have found Mobilo excellent. Unlike many breakdown services they take the car to a proper MB dealer and provide you with a hire car while it is repaired (if it cannot be fixed where it is). And unlike AA and RAC I don't need separate cover for my wife or for any other drivers. All are covered. And covered in Europe too without the £100 extra that the AA and RAC charge for Euro cover.

This section from the sticky may interest you: -

ALL AGE GROUPS get Roadside Assistance with minor repairs at location; Recovery to nearest MB Authorised Repairer; Vehicle delivery service within 25 miles of MB Authorised Repairer; Transport provision within 25 miles of MB Authorised Repairer; Replacement vehicle for 5 days (but 3 days for those registered after April 2008); train plane fares and hotel accommodation, and even repatriation if abroad when the breakdown occurs (see T’s and C’s).

As i found out earlier today(see my thread titled pothole damage)what isn't mentioned is damage to tyres only being covered for vehicles upto 4 years old-£150 callout charge if car is over 4 years old!

While it is a good service it's not that good really.

I think all the organisations offer a vehicle specific cover which would cover any driver. They will only recover to a main dealer so it's more of a work generation thing.

Having said that the guy broke the rule to follow me through to the local indie who I used to use to make sure I got there which was good of him.

The variations in the schemes (I think there are 5? versions now) are beyond ridiculous.

Depends on date of first registration. See link I posted earlier. For example, cars registered after April 2008 have minor mishaps including tyres covered for full 30 years subject to regular dealer servicing.
