When should you change the brake pads on your 1986 Mercedes-Benz 300E? It depends on you and your driving style. Brake pads often last 30,000 to 40,000 miles. Certain factors, like driving mostly on highways and braking smoothly, can help your brake pads last longer. If you often haul heavy loads or ride your brakes, your brake pads may wear out sooner. Your brake pad replacement interval also depends on what kind of brake pads you have on your 300E right now. Are you still driving with the same pads as when you bought the car? Not all brake pads are created equally. Some materials last longer. Thankfully, when you get Mercedes-Benz 300E brake pad replacement at Firestone Complete Auto Care, you also get a limited Lifetime Parts Warranty. Brake checks and brake pad replacements are some of our most popular services. For your 300E, we’ll use brake components that meet or exceed Mercedes-Benz’s specs.

You might have a strong and reliable engine in your Mercedes-Benz  300E. One that's ready to get you to 200,000 miles and beyond. But if you can’t stop it, it’s as good as scrap metal.

Plus, waiting can lead to more expensive parts wearing out and requiring replacement.
