Squeaky Brakes!
Everytime I brake and am close to a stop, the front brakes squeak. They dont squeak the entire time, only once I'm close to fully stopping. What's going on here??
My car has about 27,000km on it so it shouldnt need brake pad replacement.
Should I take my car to MB or should a local tire/brake shop do the trick (for Canadians I'm talking about kaltire, oktire, curtis tire etc)...

Don't worry too much about it. My sister's c63 does the same thing and shes blaming me for ruining her brakes. The pads have a little under 50% life left after my weekend with it 
Its normal, but to reduce squeaking and dust, switch to akebono or porterfield. I believe akebono isn't available for the front when I tried to order.

My wife took her C63 PP to the dealer to complain about the squeaky brakes. The dealer's answer was "you have a C63 with big a** brakes, get used to it." I guess MB does not think squeaky brakes is a dealer repair issue ;-)

Drive faster. Brake harder. Downshift louder.
All kidding aside, my dealer replaced my rears under warranty around 25k for the squeaking noise. That lasted about a year. Now they squeak a little. I just brake a little bit later so i have more pressure on the pedal. But sometimes you cant do that...
