    Good Day...
    I am looking for a list or feedback of vendors to buy truck parts and tools.

    I am getting sick of going to the local parts place and hearing " we can order that for you"
    To be blunt.... I can do that.

    The last car parts place here in town with the grumpy old guys at the counter and no computers Closed.
    So, I am shopping around for a new place
    Thanks

    OP, welcome to the forum!
    But I can't tell if your post is primarily a rant or you are truly in need of parts locally, and in a rush.
    It also depends on what parts you may be seeking.
    I have many online sources and a few local, and a couple international, but there is not much you can do if a store decides to close the doors in your town. Perhaps you could post your location and others here may have some specific suggestions.

    I have My Dealer and Napa both deliver and Napa has given good quality parts in the Past.

    Now competing with Auto-Zone and Advance Auto on lower price parts one needs to be careful.

    For years I am used to having to order in parts Here it is the way of life with Toyota`s .

    The quality of parts bought online as of late has been rather poor plus so very long shipping times .

    So.. Some more details are in order here.
    I live here in Omaha, Neb.
    I am not in a big hurry, truck is not down.

    So this comment may be confusing to some.. "grumpy old guys at the counter"
    Seems like every city has a parts place that's been around for ever and the "counter folks" are low turnover and low chit chat.
    BUT If you need something THATS the place to go .

    Is this a rant... Nope/maybe a social commentary
    That the bad thing about forums/emails, you cant hear the tone of that person e-mailing /posting :)

    So at 150,00 miles on my "New to me" Tacoma I had a list for stuff to pick up a the local parts shop.

    After coming home empty handed from the third parts place. I get it...

    Bottom line , I just look for a new source of parts. It can be on line.
    Just Fair price, reliable getting out the door and maybe someone to talk to.

    Thanks
