Honestly for $50 in parts, if I can do it myself I will probably change them, and if it is not the problem, look at the calipers, right?
Often times it is cheaper to replace the rotors, as you have found out, a bit involved replacing the fronts, new/and or repacked bearings. Yet a DIY. MB requests not turning. See if there is any rust spots on the caliper cylinder walls.
You can use the old pads, as long as they measure 2mm, might as well, just swapping those out, very simple. If you replace, get new sensors too, only on front.
