wow, This is why I do most my own maintenance. If they are OEM Genuine Mercedes discs that is a decent price, but if they are just OEM like Brembo or Zimmerman, they are really getting a decent markup.

example on FCP
Brembo 2 piece front rotors - $390 each
Zimmerman rear - $101.50 each




Do you know

They are charging you roughly four hours (assuming $170/hr) to swap out rotors and pads. That's excessive but probably on par for a shop. Just stupid how shops bill job hours for somethings. Should not take four hours to swap out old brake rotors and pads, with new ones. Resurfacing rotors, sure. Direct swap, no.


Weird they are charging you more to service the rears.

It takes longer to get the rears off because instead of adjusting down the parking brake shoes, they would rather beat on it for an extra 30-45 mins to "break" it free.

You’d save a bit more than half if DIY.
