Do you have to replace brake pads and rotors at the same time on a 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class?

• Not always, but it’s often recommended: matching new pads to worn rotors can reduce noise and uneven wear. Our techs inspect pad thickness, rotor runout, and surface condition to advise the best approach.
• Replacing pads and rotors together maximizes braking consistency, reduces risk of uneven rotor wear, and can save money long term by preventing repeat labor costs.
• To review options and pricing, schedule appointment or view current service specials.

How do you make 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class brake pads last longer?

What are the signs of bad brake rotors?

• Vibration or pulsation in the brake pedal, uneven or noisy braking, visible grooves or scoring on the rotor surface, and reduced stopping power are common indicators.
• Our technicians use precise measurement tools to verify rotor thickness, runout, and surface condition so you know the exact issue and cost-effective remedies.
• If you suspect rotor issues, schedule service to diagnose and choose resurfacing or replacement with OEM parts.

How do you know when to replace brake rotors?

• Rotors are replaced when below manufacturer thickness, warped beyond tolerance, or damaged with deep scoring—our factory-trained techs follow Mercedes-Benz specs to decide resurfacing versus replacement.
• Replacement protects braking performance and prevents accelerated pad wear; dealership repair often provides better value through warranties and certified installation.
• Call or schedule appointment to get a precise inspection and transparent pricing.

What is the difference between resurfacing and replacing brake rotors?

• Replacement is required when rotors are below minimum thickness, cracked, or too damaged—our technicians measure precisely and recommend the safest option.
• At Mercedes-Benz of Draper you get OEM-quality parts, factory-trained technicians, warranty protection (warranty repairs must be done at a certified dealership), and transparent pricing—helping you save both now and over the long term.
