Best Place for OEM Parts
I know it seems like a silly question, but I was just wondering if there was a preferred dealer that the forum uses for OEM parts. For instance, on my RX7 site, everyone recommends Malloys Mazda in VA. He knows his stuff, and stocks more RX7 parts than 99% of the other dealers.
I did a quick search for OEM parts, OEM dealers, etc. but didn't come up with anything.
If the answer is any toyota dealer is as good as the next, that is cool, I just like to support businesses that support us.
Thanks for the newbie help.

Look in the vendor market place. The last I knew there where two dealers in there that offer parts at basically the same price. I think one is northridge and they are out of CA and the other is trdparts4u and I think they are out of texas. You can base your opion off of the two threads in there

I know that it sucks to go this route, but the dealership usually has the best oem parts, with the exception of a few things. I say, if you can go to Autozone and get said part with a lifetime warrenty, take that route. Toyota priced me a radiator for my truck and, with my employee discount, came to over 400 bucks. Went to Autozone, got one for $150 including new hoses and a lifetime full replacement warrenty. For that price difference, I think I can live w/o 'Toyota' stamped on the side of my radiator.

1stToyotaParts.com is mentioned on here alot. Their prices are the lowest I've seen for factory parts.
I don't buy OEM parts unless there's no other option myself. But sometimes there's no options.
