Frequently Asked Questions

Why is a brake service important for a 2018 Mercedes-Benz Maybach?

• Safety first: brakes are the primary system that protects you, your passengers, and other road users. Routine service ensures pads, rotors, calipers, and sensors perform as designed for a luxury vehicle like the 2018 Mercedes-Benz Maybach.
• Preserve performance: factory brakes are calibrated for high-performance stopping power. Regular inspection and service keep stopping distances consistent and predictable in everyday and emergency situations.
• Protect expensive components: catching wear early prevents damage to rotors, calipers, and electronic systems that can become costly if left unchecked.
• Value retention: documented, OEM-service history at a certified dealership helps maintain resale value and provides transparent maintenance records.
• Warranty and quality assurance: any covered repairs under warranty must be performed at a certified dealership to remain valid; our factory-trained technicians use OEM parts to protect your investment and deliver long-term savings compared with independent shops.

How long does a brake replacement take?

• Pads only: a typical brake pad replacement on a 2018 Mercedes-Benz Maybach generally takes about 1 to 2 hours per axle, depending on sensor work and brake system complexity.
• Rotors and pads: replacing both pads and rotors typically takes 2 to 4 hours per axle; total service time varies with vehicle inspection findings and any required calibration or machining.
• Luxury systems: some Mercedes-Benz brake systems include electronic parking, adaptive sensors, or advanced calipers that require additional diagnostic checks and calibrations; we factor that time into estimates for accuracy.
• Faster turnaround, reliable work: our factory-trained technicians and OEM tools allow us to complete jobs more efficiently than many independent shops while maintaining higher quality and safety standards.
• Transparent timing: we provide clear time estimates and communicate any additional work that affects completion so you know when your vehicle will be ready.

How often should you replace the brake pads and rotors?

• Variable intervals: replacement frequency depends on driving habits, local conditions, and vehicle usage. For a 2018 Mercedes-Benz Maybach driven in mixed city/highway conditions, pads often last 30,000–50,000 miles, while rotors can last significantly longer if not damaged.
• Inspection is key: our routine inspections help determine the real condition of pads and rotors—sometimes pads wear faster than expected, other times rotors show heat stress or scoring that warrants earlier replacement.
• Driving style matters: aggressive driving, frequent towing, or heavy urban commutes increase wear rates; conservative highway driving typically extends service life of components.
• Preventive care saves money: replacing pads and rotors when needed and addressing issues early reduces the chance of more expensive repairs later—our dealership approach emphasizes long-term savings over cheap short-term fixes.
• Warranty considerations: if your vehicle is under warranty, warranty-covered brake work must be performed by a certified dealership to preserve coverage and ensure correct diagnostics and repairs.

What is included in a 2018 Mercedes-Benz Maybach brake service?

• Comprehensive inspection: we check pad thickness, rotor condition, calipers, hardware, electronic sensors, brake lines, fluid level and condition, and parking brake function as part of every service.
• OEM parts and fluids: when replacement is needed we use manufacturer-specified pads, rotors, hardware, and brake fluid to maintain performance and longevity.
• Calibration and testing: electronic parking brakes, sensors, and ABS systems are calibrated and tested post-service to guarantee correct system integration and safety.
• Road test and final checks: every vehicle receives a post-service road test and a final inspection to confirm stopping performance and eliminate issues before return.
• Warranty and documentation: work performed at Park Place Motorcars Fort Worth includes clear documentation and, when applicable, warranty coverage; remember that warranty repairs must be completed at a certified dealership to remain valid.
