CL63 Break Job
Getting a new front rotors, pads and read pads. Dealers quoted $2,600 for the job and the car has 27k miles. Anyone get breaks done in their 63's? Did you replace the rotors?

If you feel its to costly shop around.. but going price for the rotors is about 1k apiece.
Its a 2-piece style rotor .. But as for the wear at 27k ive seen them wear out at 16k!!!!!
im serious. Its a high performance braking system they werent going for wear when designing it. At my dealer we are a AMG specialized dealer so i see about 3-4 CL/S 63s
a day and they eat breaks up. Try a good euro shop in the area but 2600 for front pads/rotor and rear pads is the norm from a dealer... 1k for each rotor = 2000
front pads have to be 200-300 and the rears are about 100 so they are charging
about 200-300 labor then tax it makes senses..
If you go to a indy just find one that has a good rep... and expect to pay over 2k maybe more there
Good luck

The pads may be another story. If you like keeping your rims clean, go for a low dust pad. I have good success with EBC Red Pad. I don't know if available for AMGs or even the 030s. They are great low dust ceramic/kevlar compound for my S Type R Jag.
Also, while getting a brake job pay the xtra $$ and get a brake fluid flush for the front and rears. Just keeps everything working top notch.

why would you quote me for that reply... i just suggested the op to shop around for a diffrent dealer and he will find that the brakes on that car are pricey where ever you go.
and i never suggested aftermarket....

Sounds like average mileage, and typical pricing to me. It IS for a $100,000+ car afterall, why would you expect the brake job to cost any less?

Any place other than an MB dealership including your suggested euro place will use aftermarket rotors and pads. Not so good for our expensive racing brake system.

i disagree most or even all the indies that i am familiar with use factory parts... i think you missed my point i was saying that the discount you would see from a indy might not be as much as you would think because of the expensive price parts from the dealer...
if you are familar with the dealer you might be able to get 10% or something...

2pc front rotor, 1pc rear rotor, coming from a dealer I think that is a pretty fair price.
However from an indy shop, you can have it done for a few dollars less.
