  • Maintains stopping performance tailored to the 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class’ weight and power, ensuring safety in daily driving and highway conditions.
  • Detects wear on pads, rotors, calipers and hydraulic components before failures occur, reducing risk of costly damage and extended downtime.
  • Uses OEM parts and factory procedures to preserve brake feel, stability control calibration and ABS performance specific to your vehicle.
  • Provides immediate and long-term savings: our certified dealership often costs less than independent shops once you factor in correct parts, longer component life and fewer repeat repairs.
  • Warranty repairs and certain manufacturer-covered adjustments must be performed at a certified dealership to remain valid and protected.

How long does a brake replacement take?

  • Brake pad replacement typically takes 1 to 2 hours, depending on condition and whether any additional services are needed.
  • Replacing rotors with full machining or replacement generally takes 2 to 4 hours for a typical axle, with variations based on part availability and vehicle-specific procedures.
  • Our factory-trained technicians use OEM tools and dedicated service bays to streamline jobs safely and reliably, often completing work faster than less-specialized shops.
  • We prioritize inspection, test drives, and proper bedding of new components so you leave with confidence and minimal callbacks.

How much does a brake service cost for a 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class?

  • Costs vary by parts required and condition; we provide transparent estimates after a complimentary inspection of pads, rotors and hydraulic components.
  • Our dealership frequently offers lower overall cost compared with independent shops when you factor in OEM parts, accurate diagnostics and longer component life.
  • Immediate savings come from bundled service specials and seasonal offers; long-term savings come from fewer repeat repairs and better resale value with documented dealer service.

How often should you replace the brake pads and rotors?

  • Brake pad life depends on driving style and conditions; typical ranges are 30,000–60,000 miles, but severe driving can shorten this interval.
  • Rotors usually last longer than pads but should be inspected at every pad service; resurfacing or replacement intervals vary with wear, heat cycles and corrosion.
  • Regular inspections at the dealership help catch uneven wear or warping early, which prevents premature replacement and maximizes component life.
  • Following manufacturer-recommended inspection intervals and using OEM parts ensures predictable performance and helps preserve warranty eligibility.

  • Work performed with OEM parts by factory-trained technicians using Mercedes-Benz procedures and tools to preserve safety systems and performance.
  • Transparent estimate, warranty information, and recommendations to optimize immediate cost and long-term ownership value; warranty repairs must be completed at a certified dealership.

2017 Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class Brake Warranty

The brake warranty and coverage for a 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class can vary depending on original purchase terms, mileage and whether brake components are addressed under an extended program. If brake components are covered by a manufacturer warranty or an extended warranty, repairs must be performed at a certified franchise dealership to maintain coverage. Performing warranty work at an independent shop can risk denial of claims or voiding of coverage because the OEM requires factory diagnostics, OEM parts and documented service records. At Park Place Motorcars Arlington our service advisors will review any applicable warranty before work begins, identify covered items and explain any customer-pay components. Even when a component is not covered, using dealer service often saves money over time: our technicians diagnose root causes accurately to avoid repeated services, and OEM parts typically last longer than aftermarket alternatives. We also offer documented service records that support resale value and future warranty considerations, and we can coordinate with manufacturer programs when recall or special coverage applies. Choosing dealer service protects your coverage, preserves performance, and reduces long-term ownership costs.

2017 Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class Brake Specials

The immediate savings are clear on the invoice, and the long-term savings become evident as correctly installed parts resist premature wear and retain factory-calibrated performance. We also apply service coupons and seasonal offers to inspections, pad replacements and rotor services, and we provide transparent estimates before work begins. If your vehicle remains under any manufacturer programs, warranty work must be completed here to preserve coverage — another way using our specials can save you in the long run.

2017 Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class Brake Replacement

Brake replacement timing and procedures for a 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class depend on whether you need pads, rotors, or both. Pad replacement alone typically requires about one to two hours per axle, while rotor replacement or machining can extend service time to two to four hours depending on vehicle condition and part preparation. At Park Place Motorcars Arlington, our workflow, OEM tooling and technician experience allow us to complete these services efficiently without sacrificing quality. We follow factory procedures for caliper service, torque specifications, and brake-fluid handling, and we perform test drives to validate system performance after installation. Because we repair to factory standards and document every step, our completed jobs have fewer rework events than independent shops, which often translates to faster turnaround and lower total cost of ownership. If a rotor shows heat damage, scoring or runout, replacing or machining it with an OEM-specified approach ensures consistent pad break-in and brake feel. We also advise on proper bedding procedures and perform final inspections to confirm pedal firmness, ABS response and parking-brake operation. Your estimate will reflect the most cost-effective solution considering immediate needs and long-term durability.

2017 Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class Brake Pads and Rotors

Replacing brake pads and rotors together on a 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class often yields the best results in terms of safety, longevity and ride quality. New pads installed on worn rotors can lead to uneven contact, diminished stopping power and audible noise, whereas matching new OEM pads with new or correctly machined rotors restores the braking surface geometry and friction characteristics intended by the manufacturer. During every inspection we measure pad thickness, rotor runout and surface condition to determine whether resurfacing or replacement is necessary. Choosing the dealership for combined pad and rotor service brings advantages: OEM rotors and pads are produced to precise tolerances, our technicians follow factory bedding and break-in recommendations, and our diagnostic checks ensure ABS and stability systems remain calibrated. Performing both services at once reduces total labor hours and parts handling, which can lower the immediate invoice and minimize the likelihood of a follow-up visit. We document all work and provide clear recommendations so you understand the trade-offs between resurfacing and replacement, always with an eye toward long-term savings and consistent braking performance.
