I'm getting ready to have my 2010 E550 serviced, especially having the warped rotors replaced. How much should I expect this to cost me at a dealership in Houston?

I don't know if it will be just two or all four wheels. Also, if rotors are replaced, does that automatically mean I'll need new pads as well? The pads are still practically new.

Thanks in advance!

If you buy the OEM parts from discount store, the cost of parts for all four corners is around $600. Factor in the labour, it would be around $1,000 or so if done by an indy shop. At the dealer, it would be around $1,500. I had around 50,000 km, my front pads were almost done and my car was a 2011.

rSo, it sounds like you have the Warped Rotor problem. There are lots of writing on this topic in this forum but to give you my quick answer: Obviously your brakes are outside warranty so you do not need to worry about that. It seems MB had an issue with brake rotors for your model year of cars (mine too) and it seems from some other posts in the forum that MB has fixed this issue BUT I don't know if they have.

If I was you I would go with an aftermarket rotor supplier unless your MB dealer gives you an exclusive warranty against warped rotors if you get new ones from them.

If the pads are almost new (did they replace them because of the pulsating brake pedal?) they do not need to be replaced. Just a few hats brake uses will wear the pads to the new rotors.

I wouldn't do aftermarket - just my opinion.

I actually just replaced my rotors and pads in the front due to vibration and pulsing.

Fletcher jones at Newport Beach wanted 770.

Did it myself, bought my parts from socalmercedes.com.
OE Rotors (drilled) 130 each.
OE Pads 75.00
Reused the wear sensor.

Job took an hour - fairly easy if you're a moderate wrench head. If your not into working on your own ride, buy the parts and take it to a mechanic. It's a straight forward job - no special mb tools required.

my 2010 issue was rear brakes , not a front
i replaced with OE rotors / bosch brake pads , they didn't have any vibration or pulsing just warped

Thanks guys! I failed to mention an important detail. I bought the car CPO with extended MB warranty up to 120,000 miles. I currently have 49,400 miles. Not sure if this would be considered a warranty item.

Brake rotors will not be covered. I had the same issue. Just replaced my front rotors and pads 2 weeks ago with OEM rotors and aftermarket pads. Only negative is I went with ceramic(for dusting issues) and I'm having squealing issues. Surprisingly most of the noise dissipated after a car wash yesterday. $650.00 total.
