Brakes for 06 ML500

My wife's ML500 will be needing brakes soon. My question is how much should I expect to pay for a brake job? The rotors do not appear to have any grooves in them. Will they just replace the pads or will they turn the rotors?

If it turns out that everything needs to be done pads & rotors I may opt for a big brake kit. (My wife is a late braker)

Do not know the cost, however you will not know if you need rotors until they are miked to determine thickness. As far as a "big brake kit" is concerned I do not know of any and even if there are some I would stay with OEM brakes which are excellent. By the way do not turn MB rotors. They will then warp.

That's a heck of a 12.2-sec run for a stock ML500! Oh, wait....I see you have an E55 in the stable....nevermind!
