Our GL450 has squealing brakes, we took it in for service and they wanted $100 to apply some anti squeal solution to the pads. Shouldn't this be covered under warranty?

 

Of course it should. Unless you glazed the pads with some crazy stops, in which case it would be your fault. High performance pads often squeak but the OEM ones definitely should not. Call and ask to talk to the service manager and if he balks, then the dealership GM. If the dealer isn't playing ball, ask them for the name/number of the regional M-B rep.

 

There is a DTB on squealing brakes which they should perform for free if you're still under warranty.

This applies to the original pads only.

If dealer has previously replaced pads, they should own up to improper installation---given you attest you haven't driven under water.

If other pads, you got what you paid for.

 

I just bought a 2018 GLC63 and took it in for an oil change and they told me I will need pads and rotors soon. They were smoking top quality crack rock and quoted me $4100 to replace just the front rotors+pads+ sensors. Please tell me it ain't that bad if I buy the parts and do it myself.

Oops just realized this is the wrong section my bad

 

14 year resurrection, well done sir

 

Technically it is 13 years and 46 weeks.

Will MBWorld even exist 14 years from now, to have an anniversary of this resurrection?

 

Brakes are one of the easier repairs on a vehicle, $4100 is crazy. Just did all four corners on the wifes GL, pads alone were only $380

 

Yeah, I think I was at around 380 for all four discs, pads and new sensors and fluid pushed out through each circuit.

I skipped on the caliper bolts. I know.

$4100 for a GLC front brakes what the hell man but that’s the amg tax
