I just had my car in for it's A service and the mercedes guy told me that my break pads were getting low. He also said that the rotors would also need to be replaced. When I asked him why the rotors would need to be replaced, he said that Mercedes rotors are very soft and they wear down just from the friction of the break pad, even if there is no metal on metal. Now, I have never heard anything like this before, is this guy just feeding me full of shit? Also, when I asked him about taking my car somewhere else to get the breaks done, he said some people do that, but if you don't put mercedes pads and rotors on, the breaks will be very loud and will always squeak. Is this also true? I just want to find out before I throw $500 at something that won't even last for more than 10k miles.
Thanks for ya'lls help.
