I have a 2002 S430 AMG and I just received a message that the brake lining is wearing visit shop -

A couple of questions -

Is it recomended that I take it to the Mercedes Benz shop to get replacement pads or can I go to a shop that specializes in foreign cars?

Does the AMG make a difference when replacing brakes?

Will the signal go off if I take it somewhere other than Mercedes?

The Mercedes shop quoted $250 while other shops are in the $150 range - is that right?

If I take it to somewhere other than Mercedes what should I ask the shop -

please respond jkp4030@yahoo.com

Also I was planning on going out of town MD- NY and Mercedes can't get me in before, would it be okay to drive and get fixed upon return? Light came on two days ago.

Thanks!!!!!!

Jacqueline

Your car has AMG brakes so you need AMG pads.
