    I typically buy from Rock Auto, but I've seen several thread here (that I can't find now) that reference another specific site that looked more Toyota focused.

    I've got to do the timing belt and valve cover gaskets, and all associated "while you're there" changes.

    Any suggestions?

    Is there any reason that I should *not* buy from Rock Auto?

    I have no experience with Rock Auto, but I see no reason why anyone shouldn't use them.

    I have bought everything exclusively from Rock Auto.
    struts, coils, leafs, shackles, shocks, cat back exhaust, fuel filter, parking brake cables, drums, shoes, rotors and pads.
    All were of high quality and good fitment. Parts all came in within 5 business days as stated when ordered. The only problem I had was when I bought the drums, they sent 5 lug and I ordered 6 lug. They over nighted the 6 lug to me with a return shipping label to send the 5 lug drums back.
    Very friendly Customer service. Plus they give you a 5% off code of your own when you order. Though there is a 5% code offered through TW as well.
    I will be ordering ball joints, swaybar links/bushings and rack bushings here in a week from them as well.
    so my experience has been very positive.

    I get my local dealer to match Camelback Toyota in az. Nothing better than OEM.
