Brake pads

I bought an 08 A Class. I read on you site that the brakes need to be replaced after 3 years which means at my next service they will need to be replaced and I will be charged for them. I know that the warranty won't cover brake pads and disc. Will the service care by Mercedes cover brake pads and disc? Will any private warranty company just cover wear and tear components?

Brake discs and pads only need to be replaced when worn. They are not a routine replacement. And not covered by the normal cost of a service. However, prematurely worn discs should be covered by the car's 3 year warranty.
