quick help? '16 G63 brakes/rotors quote
Hi all
Trying to pin down a fair price at the dealer for all four brakes and rotors 2016 CPO G 63. I've got them down to about 2500+ tax is that in the ballyard? I am in New York not the cheapest place on the planet.

You can purchase these parts front and rear if you spend some time searching for less than 1/3 the quote you got.
I have three mechanics all three charge anywhere
from $100-$200 for the full labor job with my parts. This price is valid if I bring them a Honda or a MB. Changing brakes is not rocket science.
These same guys charge me $20-$50 labor if I bring them my own oil and filter for an oil change. The total cost ends up being less than $120.
I am in NYC as well.
I don’t understand people that go to the dealer for servicing. It is a big waste of money and time and 9/10 you’ll gain another problem and or a dent or scratch too. The dealership techs aren’t some guru mechanics they are just as bad if not worse than the jiffy lube dudes. I have several tech friends from across brands and I’ve realized that I know more about certain things than many of these guys. That is somewhat understandable to me as job vs hobby.

CPO? Did you just buy it, and it needs a brake job? If you've owned it several years, why is CPO a factor? What's the odometer? Have you inspected the pads and rotors yourself? Are you experiencing squealing and/or shimmy? New pads and rotors on a 4+ year old vehicle seems premature.

About $980 for the rotors

About $50ish for the pads
https://www.partsgeek.com/catalog/20...e_pad_set.html
About $45ish for new sensors

About $30ish for new hardware
https://www.partsgeek.com/catalog/20...dware_kit.html
There will be some odd and end of course you will pay for. Does their brake service include a brake system flush? This is about $250ish at a independent service place.
Mercedes OEM rotors for comparison...

it's my wife's vehicle so I'm extra careful with things like brake maintenance. I can't afford to skimp on safety upkeep. However I did inquire as to why I would need this service after only 6000 miles from when I bought it and 28K on the clock right now.
We live in a hilly area and I'm sure my wife presses the brakes more than I would down a few of these roads but shes not that bad and uses the gearbox to brake too.
I was at 22K on purchase with a 10/7.5 mm.
they claim CPO min requirement is only 4mm Certainly sounds skimpy. They told me it's 2mm away from flashing the pad warning. I can use these posts as ammo to beat them up a little more before I pick the car up I've done business there before. thank you.

I bought a CPO about a year ago.

I'm comfortable doing brake jobs on my cars. Recently did a full rotor and pad replacement for a SL500 and S500.
To the rest of us that wrench on our own cars, how difficult or challenging is it to do the brakes on a G63?

Quick update. I purchased the front and rear rotors from Mercedes Benz parts along with the pad sensors (one for each corner). Ironically they were the cheapest retailer. I got the pads directly from brembo. Saved some money there. I just need to know what the hardware consists off so that I can secure that. Does anyone have any insight?
