Factory Brake Pads vs. Aftermarket Brake Pads

Genuine Mercedes-Benz brake pads are made specifically for your Mercedes-Benz model and specifications. They have been tested by the manufacturer to perform best for the safety of your Mercedes-Benz. Aftermarket brake pads may be made of a harder, low-quality material, which will result in premature wear to the rotors, produce squeaks and squeals, and may not live up to the standards of stopping distance and safety that genuine factory parts provide. This could mean the difference between a close call and serious accident should they need to be put to the test.

What impacts the Life of your Mercedes-Benz Brakes?

Just like your fuel economy changes depending on how, where, and when you drive, the life of your Mercedes-Benz brake pads changes depending on the following conditions:

• Your Driving Habits: If you brake suddenly and often when driving around Bothell, instead of gently pressing down on the brake pedal, or if you ride the brakes instead of coasting softly to a stop, your brake pads won’t last very long.
• Brake Material: Carbon-ceramic brakes tend to last longer than standard metal brakes, but they also cost a bit more. If you don’t know if your brakes are carbon-ceramic, ask the service technicians at the Mercedes-Benz of Lynnwood service department.
• Environment: Driving in the inner city usually means more traffic and traffic lights, so you’ll have to brake more often. Driving on the highway usually means you get longer brake life than when driving in the city.
