price estimates for these items.. is it covered by warranty?

2006 C230 SS - These showed up in the span of 2 days:

1. Brake wear. Visit Workshop.
2. Brake lamp left.
3. Left signal left mirror.

Does the Brake wear message only for brake pads replacement? or would the dealer insist I'll need new rotors too? I had the rotors replaced 30k miles ago (car is at 63k miles)?

Are the last 2 items covered by warranty? if not, any estimates how much these will cost (to fix)?

Also, i'll probably be due for a transmission flush, anybody have an idea how much this would cost? in a dealership? indy shop?

Thanks in advance..

btw, the $700 was just for the fronts.. i'm hoping that it's just the pads and not the rotors.. i thought these rotors can be just refinished?

THE BAD rotors cannot be resurfaced trust me i learned that one the hard way

THE GOOD you can do your own brake job its easy and there is a DIY i have an o6 w203 and it takes me 40 min to do and i take my time,

THE REALLY GOOD it wont cost you 700 you dont need any special tools, if you can change your own oil you can do your own brakes let me know if you need any help although not sure how much i can help im in socal

left signal mirror shows up when i move driver window while turn signal is on, its weird but more annoying than anything all i do is dissemble the mirror (all you need is a flat head screw driver) and clean the electrical connection there is also a DIY on how to remove the mirror cap

#2 brake lamp left is a burned out brake lamp replace bulb car will erase code by itself as soon as you replace

hope that solves all your error messages..,.i hate it when i start my car and it gives me a list of errors lol luckily all yours are easy fixes

buy your brakes parts online they are much cheaper should be about half of what you paid do have the dealer do it... maybe less i was quoted 700 for my brake job it was the first and last time i called the dealer for service

rmeuropean.com for parts. they need to start paying me for advertising them all the time. lol

2 and 3 take it in and they will usually replace light bulbs for free (even though they are not covered under warranty) and the led mirror light is a known issue so they might just replace it.

Rotors will just depend on how far worn they are; if they are straight and still within spec there is no reason to replace them.
