I've heard that you can buy Toyo OEM parts online for less than what you pay at the dealer. But an internet search shows so many choices and you need to know the correct part number.

Does anyone recommend a particular online OEM parts site? Also, how do I find the right part number when ordering?

For example, I recently found a Toyo OEM engine air filter on Ebay. I thought I ordered the correct part number that the site listed for my 09 Camry but it turned out to be the wrong part number and I returned it. Thanks

 

A good number of Toyota dealers now sell genuine Toyota parts online and at a discount to list price. Typically these dealer sites have an online parts catalog.

Inputting the cars make, model, year, engine/trans type or VIN will lead to a selection of area categories to choose from such as engine, trans, brakes, etc. From here find your part. For some parts using the VIN is best as there may be more then one part number available for your cars year. If you can not find the part, call that dealers parts department with VIN handy.

Some Toyota dealers sell parts through Ebay. Sometimes going to the sellers Ebay site can find out what dealer this is.

If buying from Ebay or Amazon note that counterfeit parts can be offered by third party, non-Toyota dealers. This on even the simplest and lower price parts. Parts where one might assume wrongly it would not be worth counterfeiting.

Use the Toyota app and find the cheapest deal through all the Toyota dealerships. The app always gives me anywhere from 25-35% off the list price. Another benefit of owning a popular car is there are loads of these cars that are slightly used but was in a car accident and totalled by the insurance companies. The Toyota parts on these wrecked cars are perfectly fine to buy and install on your car. Especially suspension and steering parts. You'd be surprised at just how many 20k miles totalled Toyota Camrys there are in this country. I'm talking Camrys that were rear ended with 20-40k miles on them. The parts on cars like these are barely broken in at 40k miles.
