When should you change the brake pads on your 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLS550? It depends on you and your driving style. In general, brake pads last from 30,000 to 40,000 miles. Certain factors, like driving mostly on highways and braking smoothly, can help your brake pads last longer. Alternatively, riding the brakes and hauling heavy loads can shorten their useful life. Your brake pad replacement interval also depends on what kind of brake pads you have on your GLS550 right now. Are you still driving with the same pads as when you bought the car? Some brake pad materials last longer than others. Thankfully, when you get Mercedes-Benz GLS550 brake pad replacement at Firestone Complete Auto Care, you also get a limited Lifetime Parts Warranty.
