Must be a late April Fool's joke - Dealer Brake Job
Check out their quote for front and rear non CCB's. Maybe they accidentally quoted ceramics but still who is paying $20K for a car worth maybe $40-50K??

Haha not one in a poor area that's for sure. Tysons VA. Service advisor was cool about it, basically gave me the wink and nod to DIY but said there are some dumb enough to pay it. Must be nice to have that kind of FU money.

2010-2018 Mercedes-Benz Rotor 212-423-13-12 | MB OEM Parts
ANd yeah they are CERAMIC brake rotors.

Nope, they're the standard red Brembos. OEM sticker isn't listed with them either. I think they were conducting a trolling operation to just see how dumb and/or wealthy I was. Sad part is they catch a whale every now and again.

Installation is just a tad harder then a wheel change.
OP try doing it yourself! It's super easy after the first time

for CCB, the trick is that you MUST use the wheel hanger tools when removing the wheel.
without the wheel hanger tool, If the wheel falls and kisses the edge of the ccb rotors. You end up selling them on ebay for less than half price as art or some other none sense but they are unusable in the cars.

You can save a ton of money going with equivalents. There isn't anything particularly special about the MB genuine rotors or pad compounds. I've used the Brembo, VNE, and Zimmerman alternatives and I can't really tell you theres a difference when it comes to braking. They're all aluminum-hatted rotors either pinned or 2-pc bolted. As for the pad compounds, it's the same semi-metallic stuff the other MB's get, albeit huge. I usually go with Brembo everything on these cars for the aesthetics but this setup is pretty much bombproof.
