$3470 for a front brake job?
Hi guys - I am new here.
Recently I was interested in a 2011 E63, so I called the local MB dealer to inquire how much typically a brake job would cost. I was surprised at the cost: $3470 for only front rotors, pads, sensors and labor. Rear ones was for $1200.
Question is, is that how much you pay? Typically how often do you replace your pads and rotors? I know it depends on driving and lifestyle.
Secondly, are your cars covered under any scheduled maintaince plan?
Thank you

I would check with a Independent place that specializes in MB's, I'm sure you would see quite a lower price than that. The Brakes do seem to hold up real well on these cars and I think as long as you were not a brake rider or real hard on them you may make it up to 100K miles. I was looking at my pads on my 2012 with 21K miles on it the other day when I was getting the tires replaced and they still look brand new.

The rings for the rotors are $1000 alone.

And this is the part that kills me about so-called "low dust pads." If the pads aren't wearing (producing dust) then that means the rotors are taking the abuse.
Pad material is a lot cheaper than rotor rings.
$0.02

From an online Merc Dealer:
- Front pads (w/o ceramic): $202
- Rear pads (w/o ceramic): $117
- Front rotor: $666/each X2 = $1300
- Pad sensor (front and back): $20
- Rear Rotor: 113 X 2 = $226
So... with new rotors & pads & sensors your looking at $1900 in parts.

The OP is saying the quote was $3500 for fronts only, or about +$2000 over the parts cost. I hope they're doing a flush for that price. And a caliper rebuild. And a bunch of other stuff, because it's not a day and a half job to do one axle's worth of brakes......
