My GLC has been sitting in the building parking for almost two weeks because I was travelling and now it won't start at all, just a faint click and nothing else. I know I need a new battery, that part is obvious, but I'm debating between getting it towed to a workshop or just having someone come to me. Towing feels like overkill for a battery and honestly the hassle of arranging it, waiting around, then getting the car back is putting me off. A colleague mentioned mobile services exist for German cars specifically and sent me this link https://batteryzoneuae.com/mercedes-batt...placement/ saying he used something similar for his Audi. I had a look and it seems they handle Mercedes batteries with the proper registration and everything, which matters because I've read horror stories about wrong batteries messing with the electronics. But I've never used a mobile battery service before so I'm curious how it actually works in practice. Do they carry the right battery for your specific model or do you have to wait for them to order it? And how long does the whole thing take once they arrive? Would appreciate hearing from anyone who's done this at home or in their office parking.
