Brake Service FAQs — 2018 BMW 7 Series

Why is a brake service important for a 2018 BMW 7 Series?

• Maintains stopping power and safety: routine inspections catch worn pads, glazed rotors, and fluid issues before they become hazards.
• Protects hybrid components: the 2018 BMW 7 Series uses regenerative systems and specialized braking hardware that benefit from factory-level diagnostics.
• Long-term savings: our dealership often costs less than independent shops when you factor in OEM parts, precise repairs, and fewer follow-up visits.
• Warranty and confidence: warranty-covered repairs must be done at a certified dealer to preserve coverage; we handle that for you.
• Convenience: you can schedule service online and check current service specials to reduce out-of-pocket cost.

How long does a brake replacement take?

• Typical front or rear brake pad replacement: about 1–2 hours depending on condition and whether rotors need machining or replacement.
• Pads and rotors together: 2–4 hours in most cases; complex or performance rotors may require additional time for calibration and test driving.
• Faster turnaround: our factory-trained technicians use OEM tools and a dedicated parts inventory to minimize delays.
• Transparent timing: we provide an estimated completion window at check-in and notify you if additional work is required.
• To reserve a convenient time, schedule appointment online and browse current service specials.

How often should you replace the brake pads and rotors?

• Rotor replacement: rotors are inspected for thickness, runout, and heat damage — we replace when machining won’t restore proper surface or spec tolerances.
• Routine inspections: regular checks at service intervals help predict replacements and avoid emergency repairs.
• Dealership advantage: our technicians follow BMW specifications to maximize pad and rotor life and protect performance systems.
• Use our online tool to schedule service and review available service specials to plan cost-effective maintenance.
