Trying find Toyota dealer out of Texas, popular on Tacomaworld, for parts.

Toyota Dallas. TRDparts4U was out of Toyota Dallas. They had an online department that got disbanded, but carried some good aftermarket stuff. Now I go see the regular parts guys for pickup of OE parts.

 

A previous poster has already mentioned it but I'd be betting your mechanic was speaking of Champion Toyota who used to be a big player in parts. Surprises me too how long ago that was now.

 

Awesome info everyone. Seems like McGeorge and Camelback have the best prices but many of the other ones mentioned are close. Also Toyota of San bernardino is great

Yep, this is who I've used.

 

parts.[your-dealerships-website].com - they all seem to have the same system now. Camelback used to be special when it was one of the few that had an online parts department.

Or, pull up your shopping cart on another Toyota dealership's website (like Camelback) and ask your parts counter if they will match the price. I've done this before several times and they have matched it.

Sidenote - I don't like the new Toyota parts website system. The system Camelback used to use had way better pictures and descriptions.

 

I agree, I used to work for a well known national brand window company (retired in June of 2019 after 32 years) and their policy on pricing service parts was criminal. Roto operators that cost them $25.00 sold for $225.00. I understand all businesses have to make money but screwing your customer base never made sense to me.

 

i just looked up part I need

freeman is $292 ... not sure about shipping
camelback is $228 ... BUT the online shipping quote i got is over $250 to middle USA ... it does not make sense?!?

local to me dealer may likely want $400 for this part

 

i bought my ray10s from them. $255 shipped for 4 wheels. Each came in a box so $64 each of that helps.

 

the thing i am trying to order is ultra light weight
but VERY large!

 

so it’ll have to ship freight. That’s never cheap. Have you priced it local? Sometimes you save money because it’ll be on a load your dealer is already getting.

 

i will take in the price quote from Camelback to show them and see what they say
they all like to beef up the price well over the list price here, forget about the wholesale price

 

You still might come out ahead if you don’t get the shipping ding.

good luck dude!

 

I use these dealers for my pricing baseline then order based on the best deal + shipping.

Steering Rack 44250-35042 - going price should be $498.18 before shipping.
