operational online parts source?

I have used North Park Toyota, Olathe, Universal, Cavender and San Marcos Toyota with good results. All except Olathe are local and allowed local pickup without shipping costs.

Three points: Each have their own discount structures so some are less than another. Second many have increased their discounts for Labor Day but some of the extra discounts are not seen until checkout. Third, find the part number you want and then search for that number. Don’t fall for Amazon sellers although I have bought from a Toyota dealer listing on eBay. Those dealers will use their real names and all online Toyota dealers can be contacted by phone.

 

The new autoparts.toyota.com is a fustercluck, as some have noted already:

Toyota parts web site getting a revamp | PriusChat

And many of the dealers that used to have different, usable parts search websites of their own seem to have been commanded to drop those and provide the fustercluck instead.

An important thing the old site could do that the new one can't (AFAIK) is look at a diagram and click the parts that are shown on it to find out what they are. With that removed, you can still sometimes find your part if you are able to guess enough about where it should be in the catalog.

Maybe try parts.longotoyota.com? Their site doesn't look assimilated by the Borg yet. I hope I didn't just get them in trouble.

There's always toyodiy.com. Again, I don't think you can search pictorially there either. But at least in their case you never could, so it doesn't frost me as much as Toyota having a perfectly usable site and breaking it on purpose.

Edit: oh, and also thanks to TMR-JWAP for finding this.
