Rotor price
I took my car for service B (mine has 60k miles). The dealer called me to tell be that on top of Srv B + air filter, I need 2 front rotors changed as well as all 4 brake pads replaced. They quoted me about $2700 for the work. Am I getting rap*d by them? I am too busy to deal with this, so I told them to do the work but now I am having a second thought. Any thought on this? Thanx

To me, it seems excessive.
You could buy a Brembo big brake kit for the same money.

You're looking at $1800 in parts at the standard dealer retail rate.
Rotors on a 2005/2006 CLK55 have a dealer retail price of $695 per side in the front. Front pads are the same as a CLK500, and retail for $100. Rear rotors are the same part as a CLK500 and retail for $65 each. Rear pads on a 2005/2006 CLK55 are AMG specific and cost $165 (double the CLK500 rate). Including tax, you're close to $2K. $200 in labor, another $100 for the brake fluid flush, $130 in air filters, and your B service, yeah, $2700.
Being a member of the Mercedes Benz Club of America would knock the bill down.

Update:
So this is the price on the invoice:
869 rotor (each)
283 front pad (each)
210 rear pad (each)
I thought this is just plain absurd so I called another dealer in the area and they quoted me
695 rotor (each)
157 front pad (BOTH)
165 rear pad (BOTH)
Unfortunately, the dealer finished the job already. I am really angry at them for taking advantage of me (I have been using this dealer for 5 years) and dump me with this ridiculous invoice. I did not pick up the car yet and gonna call the SA in the morning. Is there anything that can be done at this point?
