Mercedes-Benz Brake Service in Belmont, CA

Why Do My Car's Brakes Need Service?

All brake components experience wear and tear. The brake pads, brake rotors, and brake calipers on your Mercedes-Benz require brake maintenance for your safety. As you press the brake pedal, the pads and rotors create friction to help slow your Mercedes-Benz. Without Mercedes-Benz brake servicing, your luxury car or SUV won't be able to create enough friction to reach a complete stop on San Francisco streets.

Service allows you to brake with confidence in traffic along Broadway in central Redwood City. It's important to replace the brake pads on your Mercedes-Benz, service the brake discs or rotors, and clean any corrosion from the brake calipers.

How Do I Know If My Mercedes-Benz Needs Its Brakes Serviced?

Repairs are needed if you hear squeaking and squealing while attempting to brake on El Camino Real or any other roadway. Screeching brakes, increased pulsations while braking, a vibrating steering wheel, greater brake pedal exertion, and a spongy brake pedal are signs your Mercedes-Benz's brakes need servicing. Watch out for an illuminated brake service light or leaking brake fluid.

How Often Should I Get My Car's Brakes Serviced?

There's no set timetable for servicing your car's brakes. Brake pads may need to be replaced every 25,000 to 50,000 miles. Some brakes perform well for thousands of additional miles. It all depends on the braking frequency and habits of Belmont and Bay Area Mercedes-Benz owners. Visit our Bay Area Mercedes-Benz service center south of San Francisco twice a year for a brake inspection so we can perform any necessary repairs.

What Will Happen If My Car Doesn't Get Brake Maintenance?

Neglecting brake maintenance will impact braking performance as you attempt to slow your Mercedes-Benz down driving down the Upper Great Highway along the San Francisco's oceanfront. The risk for accidents also increases when you don't get brake repairs on time. Worn brake pads may have exposed metal grinding against the brake rotors. Without brake maintenance, this can lead to permanent damage or complete brake failure.
