Cheap place to change brake pads in Maryland area?
Does anyone know a good place that can change my brake pads that doesnt charge as much as mercedes dealers. It costs around 800 to change all 4 pads.

The cheapest place you can go is your own garage. It is an easy job, and if cost is a concern, you can't beat doing it yourself.

I have to agree 100%. I've done many brake jobs, but just did my first benz one a couple of weeks ago. The pad replacement is the easiest I have ever done - by far. If you can change a tire, you can change your brake pads on these cars.

Last time I tried changing my tires, i spent more money on buying things and having my back getting restored for being in a perpendicular position for almost 2 hours
so does someone know any place that is a lot cheaper than the dealer but more expensive than doing it yourself
?

I don't have necessary tools and a good place to do it.
