Front and Rear Brake Rotors

The braking system on a 2013 Mercedes-Benz GL-Class balances stopping power between front and rear rotors; front rotors generally handle more heat and load, so they typically wear faster than rear rotors. Front rotors on this V8, twin-turbo SUV face heavier braking forces and greater thermal stress, especially with performance driving or towing. Mercedes-Benz of Draper inspects both axles and measures runout and thickness to determine whether resurfacing meets OEM tolerances or full replacement is needed. We use genuine Mercedes-Benz rotors and calibrated equipment to restore factory stopping performance. Ask about bundled axle pricing, available service specials, and our service financing options to spread payments.
