How Often Do Your Mercedes-Benz S550 Brakes Need Service

It's a good idea to have your 2012 Mercedes-Benz  S550 brakes serviced before a problem arises. You don't have to wait for something to go wrong. 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. However, if routine car care has slipped your mind for quite some time, you might want to pay attention and watch for the following brake issues.

Signs of brake problems include weird noises, a vibrating pedal or steering wheel, a burning smell near your tires, an illuminated brake dashboard light, or a sensation that things aren't like they used to be. You know your Mercedes-Benz S550 like the back of your hand. A free brake check can help keep your system performing well. Generally speaking, automakers like Mercedes-Benz suggest that rear and front brakes are removed 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. Most of our locations are open seven days a week and in the evening for free brake checks. Our expert technicians are happy to examine your 2012 Mercedes-Benz S550 brakes, brake pads, and other braking components. Preventative brake care can help keep you safe on the road.

Brake Pad Replacement for Your Mercedes-Benz S550

How often do 2012 Mercedes-Benz S550 brake pads need to be replaced? It depends largely on your driving style and terrain. Brake pads often last 30,000 to 40,000 miles. Factors like frequent highway driving and smooth braking can help your brake pads last longer. If you often haul heavy loads or ride your brakes, your brake pads may wear out sooner. How often you need to replace your brake pads also depends on what kind you have on your S550. Not all brake pads are created equally. Some materials last longer. Thankfully, when you get Mercedes-Benz S550 brake pad replacement at Firestone Complete Auto Care, you also get a limited Lifetime Parts Warranty. Brake checks and brake pad replacements are pretty common for us, and we only use brake parts that meet or exceed Mercedes-Benz's standards.

Mercedes-Benz S550 Brake Repair

Your Mercedes-Benz S550 engine may be strong and reliable. One that can outlast the 170,000-mile mark. But if you can’t brake, it might as well be scrap metal. If you notice your brakes are squeaking or not working well, don’t wait! Safe driving and responsive brakes go hand in hand. Plus, waiting can lead to more expensive parts wearing out and requiring replacement. For example, rotors start to warp and become damaged when completely worn brake pads exceed their lifespan, shortening the life of healthy parts due to the metal on metal grinding that occurs. We can help prevent that damage from happening. Go to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for 2012 Mercedes-Benz S550 brake repairs. We offer many affordable brake repairs like brake pad/shoe removal and replacement, brake rotor/drum machining, brake fluid exchange/bleeding, and brake caliper and wheel cylinder service.

Mercedes-Benz S550 Brakes Questions

  • What can cause my S550 to shake when I apply the brakes? Feeling shaking or vibrating in your S550 as you brake might indicate a few different problems, including worn brake pads or rotors, loose suspension components, damaged brake calipers, or warped rotors. Book an appointment for a free brake inspection as soon as you notice a problem with your brakes.
  • How many brake pads are on my S550? The brake system on most vehicles consists of four brake pads per axle, with two brake pads installed on each front wheel and two on each rear wheel. The front wheels of your S550 put in more work when stopping your vehicle, so the front brake pads are likely to wear out quicker than the rear brake pads.
  • What is the average lifespan of S550 brake pads? Brake pads typically last about 30,000 to 40,000 miles. However, driving conditions can affect this range. Sticking to highway driving and braking smoothly can help extend the life of your brake pads, while towing heavy loads or frequently riding your brakes can shorten it.
  • Should my S550 be leaking brake fluid when the car is off? Your S550 brake system is a closed hydraulic system, so a brake fluid leak likely means you have an issue in your brake system. Over time, brake components can wear out or get damaged, causing a brake fluid leak.
  • Who can service my S550 brakes near me? Firestone Complete Auto Care has you covered with S550 brake inspections and repairs near you. Schedule an appointment for a complimentary brake inspection, and be sure to see us soon.
