Mercedes-Benz is now offering free accident recovery for all of its car customers, regardless of the vehicle’s age, mileage or who was at fault.

If the customer’s car is not legally driveable or is unsafe to move, Mercedes-Benz will arrange to recover the car to a Mercedes-Benz Approved Bodyshop.

Sally Jones, Mercedes-Benz Cars UK customer services director, said: “We are very proud to be able to offer this service to all Mercedes-Benz drivers during their time of need.

“Having an accident can be stressful, so by recovering the vehicle free of charge, we hope to take one element of worry away from our customers.”
