How often should you replace the brake pads and rotors?

Brake pad life depends on driving style and conditions; many drivers see pad replacement between 30,000 and 70,000 miles, but aggressive driving or heavy towing reduces that interval.
Rotors generally last longer but should be inspected every service; replacement intervals vary widely—often 50,000 miles or more, depending on wear and heat exposure.
Have the braking system inspected at every scheduled maintenance visit—our technicians check pad thickness, rotor condition, caliper operation, and fluid condition.
Address symptoms promptly (noise, vibration, reduced pedal feel, or dashboard warnings) to avoid more costly repairs; early detection saves money over time.
All warranty or vehicle-specific concerns should be handled at a certified dealer to protect coverage and ensure correct parts and procedures.

What is included in a 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class brake service?

Rotor machining or replacement when tolerances and runout exceed specifications; we always inspect rotors before fitting new pads.
Brake fluid check and service recommendations; full fluid exchange when required to maintain system responsiveness and prevent moisture-related damage.

2018 Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class Brake Warranty

At Park Place Motorcars Dallas we place warranty protection and long-term value at the center of every service recommendation for your 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class. If original equipment or manufacturer warranty applies to brake components, repairs must be performed at a certified dealership to preserve that coverage. Our service advisors will verify warranty eligibility before any work begins and explain what is covered and what is not, so you understand immediate costs and future protections. Performing warranty work at an authorized facility ensures replacement parts meet Mercedes-Benz specifications, installation is completed to factory standards, and all documentation is properly recorded with the manufacturer. Even when a vehicle is out of factory warranty, choosing a certified Mercedes-Benz dealership often delivers superior long-term value: correct diagnoses, OEM parts, and service procedures reduce rework and avoid avoided costs later. We also offer service specials and transparent pricing, so you can make an informed decision that balances upfront savings with lasting protection for braking components and related systems in your 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class.

2018 Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class Brake Pads and Rotors

Replacing pads without addressing rotor condition can leave you with uneven wear, vibration, and a shortened pad life. At Park Place Motorcars Dallas we evaluate both pads and rotors together for the 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class so you receive a balanced, durable solution. Our technicians inspect rotor thickness, runout, heat spots, and surface condition and will recommend resurfacing or replacement only when it meets Mercedes-Benz tolerances. Installing new pads on old, warped, or grooved rotors can accelerate noise and reduce braking efficiency—the initial savings are often offset by premature pad wear and a second service event. By contrast, replacing pads and rotors together delivers consistent contact surfaces, correct bedding, and a predictable pedal feel. We use OEM rotors and brake pads engineered for the vehicle's weight and performance characteristics, and we install proper mounting hardware and shims to prevent squeal and improve longevity. Detailed inspections and documented service also protect warranties and provide clear records for resale, helping you realize lower total cost of ownership while preserving the performance and safety of your 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class.

2018 Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class Brake Replacement

Brake pad replacement for a 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class typically ranges from about one to two hours under normal conditions, while rotor replacement or machining usually requires additional time—commonly two to four hours depending on parts availability and the vehicle's condition. At Park Place Motorcars Dallas we streamline the process by keeping common OEM parts in stock, leveraging factory-trained technicians, and using Mercedes-Benz-approved tools that reduce removal and installation time without cutting corners. Our work flow includes a pre-service inspection, clear estimate, parts installation, correct torque sequencing, brake system bleeding if necessary, and a controlled road test to bed the new components properly. Because we follow factory procedures and use OEM parts, we can often complete quality brake jobs faster than independent shops that lack dealer-level access or tooling. Faster turnaround is paired with accuracy: correct installation reduces callbacks and prevents issues that can arise when shortcuts are taken. For warranty-covered repairs, having work performed at our dealership also ensures compliance with manufacturer requirements, proper documentation, and preservation of any remaining coverage on your 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class.
