How often do 2011 Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG brake pads need to be replaced? It depends largely on your driving style and terrain. 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. How often you need to replace your brake pads also depends on what kind you have on your SL63 AMG. Brake pads made of certain materials tend to outlast others. Thankfully, when you get Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG brake pad replacement at Firestone Complete Auto Care, you also get a limited Lifetime Parts Warranty.
