Should I replace brake pads and rotors at the same time on a 2020 Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class?
It dependsreplace both only if rotors are at/below minimum thickness, heat-spotted, warped, or scored; if within spec, pads alone may be acceptable.
Our technicians measure rotor thickness and runout against Mercedes-Benz specifications and inspect for glazing or grooves. Matching new pads to in-spec rotors preserves pedal feel and minimizes noise. If rotors are beyond limits, replacing both components avoids premature pad wear and vibration.
