ERS will cover the 'show up' charge for a mobile mechanic. You get to pay for the repairs. Maybe more importantly, ERS will find the mobile mechanic for you. I'm pretty handy with a laptop and Google but not everybody has a website.
If you do your own repairs, you still need to consider where/how you're going to get the spare part that you didn't pack.
I just saw your post after my last..... my other concern was when i read "mechanic" it was just a tow truck driver that shows up and says "nope thats too long to tow." Are the mechanics legit and could replace a bearing on the side of the road? If so that is worth it I think

ERS towed the truck and 5er back to a mechanic where I boondocked outside the business that night, got the fuel line replaced first thing the next morning. ERS covered the tow, I paid for the repair.
