How long is everyone getting on the GLC63 factory rotors and pads? What was the cost for replacement?

I guess let me add some clarity here. I have 11500 miles on my GLC63 SUV and my dealer said that on the AMG models that all 4 pads and rotors must be replaced, and that the rotors cant be re-used with new brake pads. Estimate is around 3k. Does this seem in line with what everyone else is experiencing?

Come again? They're actually telling you they can't replace only the pads? I've literally never heard of this. I'm calling BS.

Im currently at 14,000 miles and I am probably 80% city miles.

Why not do the job yourself... It aint hard and could be a learning experience lol.

My brakes are squeeking at 10k miles. I was actually planning yo complain that brake pads shouldn’t be replaced at 10k, must go higher.
If they will tell me that I need to replace everything I will be
pissed.
My M3 didnt need brake pads for 3 years of use. Very confused with our car.

Mine started squeaking about 2000 miles ago. Pads and rotors are fine with lots of life.

You cant compare our GLC to a M3, the M3 is about 1000lbs lighter.

True, but these cars have so much annoying electronics that cant even tell the driver his pads are low. Probably the system waits until you wear off rotors then it will notify the driver.

Anyways, you guys think no point of arguing the case to the dealership? I just wasnt expecting such a high maintenance car.

My tires is already on wires and left is fine. Started to eat tires at 8k miles and American tires didnt even want to do wheel rotation at slight wear

That's insane! Are you braking like a madman or something?? I'm almost to 60K miles on my car and the brakes are FINE!

Yes. I am not joking. I do exit freeways at 90 sometimes but still.

Your car has wear sensors all GLCs do. When mine went off I had a ton of pad thickness left. Squeaking from these brakes is pretty typical. It's not an indicator of worn pads or discs.

My '43 wore out the rear brakes at about 26k, front are still good. It's weird how they seem to wear out the rear brakes first. It's the exact opposite of what I'm used to. All shops seem want to scrap the disks/rotors even my indy shop didn't want to mess with machining them.

Crazy. Squeaking is normal? Damn. Thats pretty embarrassing to come to a stop each time. Like I cant afford brakes.

Hopefully dealership covers the cost and fix it.

Thank you for your help on the matter.

My service advisor said that 20kish is normal on the 43 but to expect 10-12k on the 63. Seems crazy to me to be dropping 5k every 10k miles on tires, brakes, and oil change.

My experience with 3 AMGs have been change the tires every 10,000 miles and replace the brake or pads every 20,000 miles. This is just an average as I wait until they need them but it is pretty much brakes after every other set of tires.

I purchased the tire/wheel protection. Do you guys think my tires can be replaced under coverage if they already showing wires?

Thanks for your input

Brakes.... 90% sure rear brakes go fast because of distronic cruise and traction control.... at least on my ml63 and gle63s.... that is the case... Did a 1500 mile trip from boston to florida with cruise on at 50% of the time... rear rims much heavier coat of brake dust than the fronts... if your old like me then this is very counter intuitive to us old school guys where rear brakes usually last 80-100k miles

Tires, check the treadwear rating... factory tires seem to come with a very low tw of 200ish.... i went to Continental with tw rating of 560.... harder rubber ? sure... you want crazy traction you get lower tw rating and go thru tires fast...

The cost is ridiculous... it's 2hr project to do all 4 pads/rotors... MB OEM parts on the ML63 was about a $1k. That worked out to $1k an hour for the dealer ? ARE YOU FRIGGIN KIDDING ME.

Did it myself in under 3 hrs with basic tools.... only trick is getting the sequence to release the emergency brake...

Damn, these cars really heavy? 20+ inch wheels? 22's? HEAVY on the brake foot eh guys? That's insane to think you'll need new brakes every other time you get tires.......there have to be other factors at play here?

weight, aggressive braking,soft pads etc for the fronts.... in addition electronics are killing the rears.... the active steering and active lane assist both use brakes i believe to move the car side to side...

Interesting about the nannies causing more brake wear.......an excellent design...... or a really poor one.....hmmmm
