Mercedes-Benz models are known for their quality in all things. This quality encompasses not only a stunning performance and remarkable luxury, but also top-quality safety. Mercedes-Benz models have cutting-edge safety features, yet it’s vital that you still take care of that most crucial of safety features: the braking system. One of the best ways to ensure that your braking system has a long and happy life is to have the brake pads replaced regularly. Find out more here, and then stop by Mercedes-Benz of St. George for this service and see why we’re worth the drive from Washington, Santa Clara, or Ivins, UT.
The brake pads are designed to wear down. When you step on the brake pedal, the calipers squeeze the brake pads against the rotor to bring your vehicle to a smooth stop. But the brake pads themselves are equipped with a lining, and it’s this lining that makes contact with the rotor. Without the lining, the metal backing of the brake pads would squeeze against the rotors. The resulting friction would cause damage to the rotor, and possibly to the rest of the braking system. When the lining is worn thin, your brake pads will need to be replaced.
There’s not an exact mileage point at which you’ll have to get the brake pads replaced. However, there are a couple ways to tell. First, you should bring your Mercedes-Benz to Mercedes-Benz of St. George for regular brake inspections. When our technicians notice that your brake pad lining is getting low, they’ll be able to let you know so you can have them replaced. Otherwise, most brake pads have a built-in wear indicator that makes a loud squealing noise when you step on the brakes. If you hear this, it means it’s time to replace your front brake pads as soon as possible.
At Mercedes-Benz of St. George, we use only OEM Mercedes-Benz brake pads when we perform this service. This matters greatly when it comes to keeping your Mercedes-Benz in good condition and keeping you safe. While some aftermarket brake pads are high in quality, others may compromise your safety.
When the time comes for your Mercedes-Benz to have its front brake pads replaced, come to Mercedes-Benz of St. George. Our online service scheduling form makes it easy for you to find the time that works for you. We look forward to seeing you at Mercedes-Benz of St. George.
