I took my late model Mercedes in to get the front breaks done. I had regularly taken it to my local Mercedes Dealership and to a certified Mercedes mechanic for years where I come from out of State. The car has been impeccably maintained never a problem, just scheduled maintenance. I dropped off my car and a few hours later I got a call explaining to me that one of my front break calipers was frozen and needed to be replaced which was a huge surprise to me especially because I know cars well and never had a single issue associated with their diagnosis. They also admitted they had never seen this problem before on my model and year and that no calipers were available anywhere in town or the state. I was very surprised and shocked that you can?t find a break caliper for my model and would have to order it from Germany and had no Idea how long it would take.
