4k to repair break pads on 15k mile - g wagon G550
I got a quote for 4k from a Mercedes Benz Service Center to replace break pads for the front and back of the car. Is it a better idea to get quotes from other repair stores to get the same work done?

I learned not to do brake jobs at the dealer if you have alternatives. I’d see if the ceramic pads work for the G550 and if so get those and either have an Indy shop or tire place do it. If not try to find the cheapest place selling oem pads online.
