Front and Rear Brake Rotors

The 2026 Mercedes-Benz GLS uses a sophisticated braking system where front rotors typically handle a larger percentage of stopping force than rears, which means front rotors often show wear sooner. Front rotors are usually larger, ventilated, and engineered to dissipate more heat; rear rotors may be smaller or combined with electronic parking brake systems depending on configuration. At Plaza Motor Company in Missouri, our Mercedes-Benz-certified technicians measure thickness, runout, and surface condition to determine whether resurfacing or replacement is needed. Choosing repair at our dealership means OEM parts, calibrated tools, and factory procedures that maintain ABS and other integrated safety systems. We explain the cost and long-term benefits clearly—resurfacing can extend life when safe, but replacement is the right call when thickness or damage compromise performance. To preserve braking confidence and vehicle value, schedule service online and review current service specials before your visit.
