Hand Brake Issue
Hi all,
I recently had my brakes all re-done (pads and routers all around) on my 2010 E550. Now for some reason my hand brake doesn't seem to work well. My driveway is on a slope so i always put the car in neutral put on the hand brake then put in park before parking for the right. For some reason when it in neutral the car keeps moving no matter how hard I push down on the petal. Never had an issue before the brakes were done. Does it need to be adjusted since I have new pads? Or is something else wrong

Hand brake should hold the car on an incline. Rather than guessing at the problem, take it back, describe the situation and request this be corrected. Usually the handbrake travel is a bit tighter with new pads but not like day or night as the pads general maintain the same (small) clearance to the rotors through their life.
