I'm finding out that changing pads is not as challenging as I had thought. It might be a DIY job if you have a good jack and some jack stands. Search the SLK world forum for a how-to. www.slkworld.com
As far as pads, change to a more dust-free brand such as Wagner or Porterfield. There are several online sites (just do a search) but you might find Wagner pads available through a local parts store. O'Reily and Advance carry them for Benz.
Benz OEM pads are great, but they are soft and throw off a lot of dust. Clean up is much easier with the right brand of aftermarket pad. Do some research and choose a pad based on your driving style - how you use the car.
Good luck!!
PS: my local independent shop (20+ yrs MB experience) quoted $350 for new pads & sensors for my SL.
