2012 Mercedes-Benz R-Class R350 BlueTEC Brake Pads and Rotors

When servicing the brakes on your 2012 Mercedes-Benz R-Class R350 BlueTEC, replacing both pads and rotors together is often the wisest choice. New pads on worn rotors can lead to uneven bedding, vibration, and premature wear—issues that are avoidable when pads and rotors are evaluated and serviced as a system. At Park Place Motorcars Arlington, our technicians inspect rotor thickness, runout, and surface condition with Mercedes-Benz–specific tools and tolerances. If rotors are within spec, we’ll resurface or machine only when it meets OEM standards; if not, we recommend replacement using genuine Mercedes-Benz rotors engineered for your vehicle’s diesel performance and torque characteristics. This approach ensures quieter operation, more consistent stopping distance, and longer overall service life—saving you money over time by reducing repeat visits. We document all findings and explain the cost-benefit of resurfacing versus replacement so you make an informed decision. To take advantage of factory procedures and parts, schedule service with us; and check our service specials to reduce your out-of-pocket expense while receiving certified workmanship.
