Why is a brake service important for a 2018 Mercedes-Benz G-Class?
- Maintains safety: brake service ensures optimal stopping power for this heavy, high-performance SUV and reduces stopping distances under load.

How long does a brake replacement take?

How often should you replace the brake pads and rotors?

- Inspection frequency: regular brake inspections at scheduled service intervals are the best way to determine actual life for your vehicle and driving habits.
- Driving factors: performance driving, heavy loads, or frequent towing increase wear—our technicians will tailor recommendations for your usage and driving conditions.
- Dealer advantage: a certified inspection with OEM standards ensures accurate assessment and documentation, preserving warranty eligibility when applicable.

2018 Mercedes-Benz G-Class Brake Warranty
Factory coverage and warranty support are essential considerations for brake repairs on a high-end vehicle like the 2018 Mercedes-Benz G-Class. If any brake components are covered under the manufacturer’s warranty or a supplemental coverage plan, those repairs must be performed at a certified dealership to preserve the warranty. Our service department documents every step, submits warranty claims on your behalf, and uses OEM parts and procedures so work meets factory standards. For components not covered by warranty, we still offer competitive pricing and service packages that often cost less than independent shops while delivering better long-term value. Performing work at our dealership ensures that hardware, software calibrations, and maintenance records are recorded correctly—protecting resale value and avoiding potential warranty disputes. Whether it’s a covered repair or scheduled maintenance, our team provides transparent estimates, explains warranty implications, and prioritizes service that protects your investment over time.
2018 Mercedes-Benz G-Class Brake Replacement
Brake replacement times vary by scope, and our technicians structure each job to minimize downtime while ensuring excellent results. For the 2018 Mercedes-Benz G-Class, a single-axle pad replacement typically takes about one to two hours, while rotors often require two to four hours per axle when full replacement is necessary. When both pads and rotors are replaced together we combine steps to reduce overall labor time and can frequently return the vehicle to you the same day. Our advantage comes from factory training, OEM tooling, and parts availability: these let us expedite diagnostics, precise machining or replacement, and system recalibration faster than many independent shops. We maintain parts inventory and schedule workflows so your appointment runs smoothly, and we provide clear time estimates at check-in. If warranty work applies, performing the replacement here preserves coverage. For drivers who need expedited service, we recommend booking an appointment online or by phone so we can prepare parts and technicians in advance and keep your G-Class moving with safe, reliable braking.
2018 Mercedes-Benz G-Class Brake Pads and Rotors
Replacing pads and rotors together is often the wisest investment for braking performance and longevity on the 2018 Mercedes-Benz G-Class. New pads on worn rotors can lead to uneven wear, vibration, and reduced stopping performance; by addressing both components simultaneously we restore proper surface contact, heat management, and pedal feel. During every service we inspect pad material depth, rotor thickness and runout, caliper operation, and mounting hardware; we recommend machining only when it meets OEM limits and longevity expectations. Performing a combined service reduces the chance of premature pad replacement, eliminates brake judder, and ensures ABS and stability systems operate as engineered. Our dealership uses genuine OEM rotors and pad compounds designed for your vehicle’s weight and performance characteristics, delivering predictable stopping distances and quieter operation. Choosing a combined replacement at Park Place Motorcars Dallas delivers immediate performance gains and lowers the lifetime cost of ownership by reducing repeat repairs and preserving resale value through documented, certified service.
