[W126 Coupe] New Calipers on SEC

Mon Oct 9 12:42:43 EDT 2006

I took my '83 SEC into MB independent repair shop to have new pads put on.  He calls me back and says I need new calipers at $310 each.  My brakes were working fine I just bought some new pads and want to have them put on.  Question do calipers wear out?  I was surprised and shocked because I have never read anything about calipers on this site.  What do you think, was I ripped off??
