Mercedes Benz E 350 Luxury 4MATIC
Wheel damage

My 2013 W212 e350 after its 40000 mile service have the following issues hope some of you might give suggestion.

1. Vibration while driving @ 25-40 Mph without braking due to bent rims (all).
2. vibration while braking due to warped out rotors (front and back).
vehicle pulling right due to alignment (may be all wheels).

its going to be 2 grand if done once. so planning to do it one by one. Any suggestions for the order to get it repaired?

Get it all done at once. I wouldn't even drive a Yugo in those conditions

I assume getting them all done is not an option or else you wouldn't have left that option out. I'd say rotors definitely 1st then alignment next. The alignment is a very cheap fix so that shouldn't be a concern price wise.

If you don't have a second car the rims being fixed usually have a 24-48 hour turnaround, rotors and alignment can all be done in a few hours. So take that into consideration as well. Good luck

I would not align the car until your bent wheels are fixed. The brakes are separate from wheels and alignment and can be done at any time when you have money. Get the the jalopy running feel fixed first and then go after the brakes, which are an easy DIY.
Hire your own wheel repair guy who may even come to your home and then get the alignment done by a reputable independant shop.
