One of the most important and commonly replaced components of the brake system are brake pads. They apply pressure to the brake rotors, which causes friction and ultimately stops your vehicle. The Autohaus on Edens service team can inspect brake pad wear and replace them when necessary.
Brake rotors — circular discs that are connected to each wheel — work in tandem with brake pads to create friction and slow wheel rotation. There are several types of brake rotors, so ensure your Mercedes-Benz receives the correct parts by having a certified technician at our service center inspect your brake system.
The brake system is made up of many different components like brake lines, brake drums, brake fluid, and many others. If you’re concerned about the functionality of the brake system on your Mercedes-Benz, let our auto technicians do a comprehensive inspection to ease your mind. We can repair and replace brake components to production line standards.
Perhaps the most commonly experienced sign of brake wear is audible. Squealing and grinding sounds from the brakes indicate that your brake pads are due to be replaced. If you hear either of these sounds, we recommend bringing your vehicle to our service center as soon as possible as brake pad performance is important for your safety.
If you notice unusual performance from your brakes, it may be time to repair or replace components. Some common indicators of poor brake performance are a soft or pulsating brake pedal, reduction in brake response time, the vehicle pulling to one side, and a shaking or vibrating steering wheel when the brakes are applied.
Physical signs that indicate you might need new brake components are a puddle under the vehicle — similar looking to motor oil but not as slimy — and very thin brake pads. You can do a quick inspection to see the condition of your brake pads. If they’re less than a quarter thick, bring your vehicle to the Autohaus on Edens service center for a complete inspection.
