Best place to buy FACTORY oem parts?

I'm looking for a good place to buy any and all factory Toyota parts --- not aftermarket "fun" stuff.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

I have used both Northridge and Toyota of Dallas (trdparts4u).

Both have offered great service. I switched from Northridge to Dallas due to Northridge not offering free shipping, and Dallas is about 1000 miles closer to me

I actually get great deals at my local Toyota dealership. I just flat out told them, "Hey, I buy a lot of Toyota parts and I'd prefer to give you the business if you can match the online pricing". I had to do a certain "volume" at first, but that wasn't a big deal.

A lot easier to return locally and easy to get FSM information now too.

waskilly has the strategy.

get your pricings figured out by comparing online and then get your local dealer to match. You won't have to pay shipping at your local place and cover your sales taxes in the price match.

I can frequently get stuff so much cheaper from trdparts4u.com that the shipping cost is non important.... I still have no idea why those Texas dealerships are so much better on factory parts but they are.

I priced out 1sttoyotaparts.com (They are cheap, thumbs up ) for some plugs and plug wires, and they added $8.95 for shipping. I figured what the heck, gave my local dealership a call (Longo Toyota, I think one of the largest Toyota/Lexus dealership in America.) and told the parts guy what I can get on-line. His price was way higher but he was kind enough to match it, so I don't have to pay shipping but pay a little bit for tax which was about half of the shipping.

I also tried another dealership which was closer to me and I go to them for services (Puente Hills Toyota) and told them the same thing, but they couldn't match it, so I guess I'll go purchase from Longo and do the service there sometime in the next few weeks.

Per WabFab's suggestion, find the pricings on-line first, then give a few of your local dealerships a call and see if they'll match, if not, you can always buy on-line. My vote will be 1sttoyotaparts.com.
