How Often Do Your Mercedes-Benz GLS450 Brakes Need Service

It’s best to get a brake check before your Mercedes-Benz GLS450 shows signs of brake troubles. That's one reason we offer complimentary brake checks so that we can help you stay one step ahead of serious problems. You can request a free brake check as a standalone service or in addition to work you're already having done on your Mercedes-Benz, like a tire repair or an oil change. If life has gotten in the way of everyday car care, keep the following brake information in mind.

Signs of brake problems include weird noises, pulsation or vibration in the steering wheel or pedal, a burning smell near your tires, a dashboard brake light that’s powered on, or the feeling that something is "off." You know your Mercedes-Benz GLS450 like the back of your hand. Turn to our technicians to help keep your brakes at peak performance! Vehicle manufacturers like Mercedes-Benz generally recommend that at a minimum, front and rear brakes are disassembled and serviced at least once every 12 months or 12,000 miles. That includes checking the parking brake, too. Brake service and/or repair should be performed as necessary. When in doubt, visit Firestone Complete Auto Care for a quick inspection. All of our 1,700+ locations offer free brake checks seven days a week. Our expert technicians are happy to examine your 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLS450 brakes, brake pads, and other braking components. Proper brake maintenance is key to preventing problems in the first place.

Brake Pad Replacement for Your Mercedes-Benz GLS450

How often should you change your 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLS450’s brake pads? It largely depends on where and how you drive. The majority of brake pads last between 30,000 and 40,000 miles. Factors like frequent highway driving and smooth braking can help your brake pads last longer. Alternatively, riding the brakes and hauling heavy loads can shorten their useful life. How often you need to replace your brake pads also depends on what kind you have on your GLS450. Not all brake pads are created equally. Some materials last longer. Thankfully, when you get Mercedes-Benz GLS450 brake pad replacement at Firestone Complete Auto Care, you also get a limited Lifetime Parts Warranty. Brake checks and brake pad replacements are some of our most popular services. For your GLS450, we’ll use brake components that meet or exceed Mercedes-Benz’s specs.

Mercedes-Benz GLS450 Brake Repair

Your Mercedes-Benz GLS450 engine may be strong and reliable. One that’s strong enough to take you into high mileage territory. But if you can't stop it, then it's scrap metal. Don't wait if you're experiencing brake squeaks or a loss of braking power. Unresponsive brakes make it tough to give the road your best. Plus, ignoring your brake problems can result in more damage and higher brake repair bills. For example, if you drive with completely worn out brake pads, your rotors might start to warp, and this metal-to-metal friction shortens the life of otherwise healthy brake components. Our technicians work to prevent more brake damage. Visit Firestone Complete Auto Care for the right brake repair for your 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLS450. Our brake repair services include brake pad/shoe removal and replacement, brake rotor/drum resurfacing, brake fluid exchange, and brake caliper and wheel cylinder service.

Questions About Your Mercedes-Benz GLS450 Brakes

  • What is causing my GLS450 to shake when I brake? If your GLS450 shakes when you brake, you could be dealing with warped rotors, faulty brake calipers, worn brake pads or rotors, or loose or worn suspension parts. Schedule a free brake inspection at Firestone Complete Auto Care for help diagnosing your brake issue.
  • How many brake pads does my GLS450 have? Most cars have four brake pads per axle, with two pads on each front wheel and two on each rear wheel. The front brake pads usually wear out faster than the rear pads since they do more of the work when stopping the car.
  • How long can I expect my GLS450 brake pads to last? Brake pads generally last between 30,000 and 40,000 miles. Your driving can affect how long your GLS450 brake pads last, though. For example, mainly driving on highways and gradually braking can help increase the lifespan of your brake pads, and carrying hefty loads or riding your brakes can shorten it.
  • Should my GLS450 be leaking brake fluid when the car is off? Your GLS450 brake system is a closed hydraulic system, which means that the brake fluid should not leak out of the system under normal circumstances. However, over time, the various components of the brake system can wear out or become damaged, which can cause brake fluid to leak out of the system.
