I went to Calera a few months ago, just shopping for the most part. I needed a drain plug on the right floorboard and got a quote of $5!!! He quoted me a price of $2500 and my 2.7L for a 3.4L! I passed and started asking him about gray interior for the 3rd Gen. 4Runner. He said they never made that! I was pretty pissed at his attitude and his knowledge so I left. I immediately called my local dealership and ordered the drain plug for $1 and some change.
If you notice, in the neighborhood leading to the junkyard, there is one big house that doesn't fit in. That's the owner's house. To sum it all up, I know that he has an outstanding selection but he was an a$$. I like walking through the yard and getting ideas of what I should get. Just call first and know what a good price is for the part you want.

Tap recylcling has had some bad rappor from folks on the TTORA board and often when I call I get poor service and quotes for used parts that are almost twice what the dealer wants for new parts, just check all your sources and prices first before you go with them. Just my experience.

I got a driveshaft from TAP, not too bad service. Their prices are a way to high. But when I needed a part in a pinch, they had it. If I HAD no other choice, I would use them again. But if other options are available, then try someone else. IMO.
