Other costs to budget for
Brakes
Brake pads typically cost $350 to $550 per axle, and rotors $250 to $450 each when they need replacing. A full four-wheel brake job runs $900 to $1,600 depending on what is needed. We recommend genuine Mercedes-Benz brake parts, which are engineered for your car’s braking and safety systems.
Tires
Tire prices depend on size and type. As a rough guide: GLC $200 to $350 per tire, GLE $250 to $400, GLS $300 to $450, EQ models $250 to $400, and AMG® models with large staggered sizes $350 to $600 or more. Rotating every 7,500 to 10,000 miles helps them wear evenly. Hot pavement makes regular pressure checks important, too. See our tire center.
12-volt battery
Most 12-volt batteries need replacing every 4 to 6 years, sooner with a lot of heat and short trips. Replacement typically runs $250 to $450 installed. If your car is more than four years old, ask for a battery test at your next visit.
Filters and spark plugs
Engine air filters run $80 to $150 and may need changing more often with East Valley dust. Spark plugs on four- and six-cylinder engines are typically due between 60,000 and 100,000 miles, at $300 to $600.
Electric Mercedes-Benz service costs
EQ models skip oil changes, spark plugs and exhaust service entirely. They still need cabin filters, brake fluid, tires and a 12-volt battery, and regenerative braking means brake pads usually last longer. For most EQ owners, routine maintenance runs about $200 to $400 a year.
A realistic yearly estimate
For a GLC or GLE driven about 12,000 to 15,000 miles a year:
| Item | Estimated yearly cost |
|---|---|
| Scheduled service (A and B alternating) | $450 to $750 |
| Tires (spread over about 3 years) | $300 to $500 |
| Brakes (spread over about 4 years) | $200 to $400 |
| Filters, battery and other items | $100 to $200 |
| Total | $1,050 to $1,850 |
That works out to roughly $90 to $155 a month.
Lock in your price with prepaid maintenance
Mercedes-Benz Prepaid Maintenance lets you pay for scheduled services up front at today’s prices, and it can be rolled into your purchase or lease. If you plan to keep your car three years or more, it is worth a look. Learn more about prepaid maintenance at Mercedes-Benz of Gilbert.
Dealer or independent shop?
For simple items like wiper blades, an independent shop can be fine. For warranty work, software updates, warning lights, transmission and engine work, and anything on an EQ high-voltage system, an authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer has the factory training, diagnostic equipment and genuine parts the job needs, and warranty repairs must be done here.
