Mercedes Citan front brake disc and caliper during pad replacement

Small van, big workload

Your Citan's brakes work harder than you think. Tight deliveries, stop-start traffic, fully loaded - when they start making noise or the light comes on, get them sorted fast.

Genuine Mercedes parts, proper fitment, no workshop trip - real Citan work, not generic stock photos. The Citan is one of the most affordable Mercedes vans to maintain - our fixed-price packages keep it that way.

We measure, not guess

Every Citan brake job starts with a proper measurement. We check disc thickness with vernier calipers against Mercedes minimum specs - not just a visual glance.

If your discs are fine, we'll say so. If they need replacing, you'll see the numbers. No upselling.

  • Disc thickness measured against Mercedes spec
  • Pad wear assessed on all corners
  • Caliper slider pins checked and lubricated
  • Brake fluid level inspected
