Your Mercedes Benz is a great German vehicle established in 1926. Its years of experience means they continuously produce some of the most innovative and luxurious vehicles of modern time.
However, even the greatest vehicles must be frequently serviced and checked for faulty components. Many parts must be serviced or replaced after a certain time to keep them at their highest performance.
You should change your Mercedes Benz brake every 50,000 miles for optimal performance. But we recommend visiting an auto repair shop regularly.
At Precision Auto Care, we offer Mercedes Benz brake repair services, including brake fluid change, brake pad replacement, calliper replacement, and more.
Here are five signs you should visit our auto repair shop for your Mercedes Benz brake repair and replacement services.
- Loud squeaking or grinding noise when braking
Sounds are a great way to monitor the health of your vehicle. If you hear a grinding sound coming from your brake system, it could be from the brake rubbing against the calliper.
Also, Worn-out pads are responsible for the squeaking sound coming from your brake system. Sometimes, the cause is less complicated and could be from stuck debris in the brake system.
- Warning light on dashboard
Warning lights on your Mercedes Benz dashboard clearly show an issue with your vehicle. Check for the abs light, parking brake and brake fluid light, and the brake pad wear warning light.
The abs warning light tells you the vehicle’s anti-lock system is deactivated due to a malfunction. Also, the parking brake and brake fluid light indicate your vehicle brake fluid level is low and needs to be topped. Brake pad wear warning light warns of thin brake pads due to wear and tear from prolonged use.
- Excessive vibration
If you notice excessive vibration in the steering wheel or pedal, it may be a symptom of a faulty rotor. Another sign of a faulty rotor is drifting to one side when braking. We recommend you take your Mercedes Benz to our auto shop for repair or replacement. It is not safe to drive a car with a damaged rotor.
- Soft brake pedal
A soft brake pedal could mean an imminent failure and should be addressed urgently. A fluid leak in the system may cause it or be a faulty brake component. Either way, take your Mercedes Benz to Precision Auto Care repair shop — let us run a professional diagnosis on your vehicle.
- Pulling on one side of the car
A sticky calliper is responsible for your vehicle pulling to one side when braking. The obvious fix for the sticky calliper is to lubricate both sides of the calliper well. If it doesn’t fix the problem, the calliper may be faulty and need replacement. Contact us to fix your vehicle’s sticky calliper problem.
