Won't they ding you on the lease return if you turn it back in with thin brake pads? I don't know if that's a fair price; most of it is certainly labor.

Until the brakes light illuminates.
Yes, fair price. Considering this is an MB dealer.

Not to mention if you drive it into the back of a bus because the brakes are shot...
