How long do 2026 Mercedes-Benz GLE rotors last?

Do you have to replace brake pads and rotors at the same time on a 2026 Mercedes-Benz GLE?

• Not always, but pairing new pads with new or resurfaced rotors is best practice. Matching new pads to old, deeply scored rotors shortens pad life and can cause vibration or uneven braking.
• Our technicians assess pad thickness, rotor condition, and wear patterns to recommend the most cost-effective solution while prioritizing safety and performance.
• Choosing Mercedes-Benz OEM pads and rotors preserves braking feel and helps maintain warranty coverage when applicable — warranty repairs must be performed at a certified dealership to remain valid.

What is the difference between resurfacing and replacing brake rotors?

• Resurfacing restores a rotor’s surface by removing a small layer of material to eliminate grooves and warping while keeping the rotor in service if it remains within thickness limits.
• Replacement is required when rotors are below minimum thickness, cracked, or too damaged for safe service; new rotors restore OEM specifications and braking consistency.
• Resurfacing can be a cost-effective short-term solution; replacement offers the longest-lasting performance. Our estimates highlight immediate cost and projected long-term savings so you can choose wisely.
• We honor warranties and recommend certified dealer repairs for any warranty-covered work — to proceed, schedule service and review our service specials.
