Hi All (and Eric)

Stevens Creek was a good source several years ago. But, I do know now that their 'list' prices are high and therefore their discounts may not be that good. Last I ordered, they also would only provide TLCA members with discounts on US delivered LC's only (I tried to order corolla parts).

therefore: I must give my highest rec to either Freeman Toyota or Cabe if you want a California dealer. I work exclusively with Cabe, but Freeman is very good. Jay Marks, being a Gulf States based Toyota also has a different pattern and luck on offline parts so I have been told (they got Mark Whatley a 1HD-T timing belt tensioner nearly overnight???). Shop around is the best advice.

Jeff Watson is very helpful at Jay Marks, but as with most toy dealers, shipping times have been spotty. The only consistently good service I got was from Right Toyota in Scottsdale, but it is not a TLCA business member.

I guess that depends on how much money you spend at the dealer. Since I own 3 Toyota 4x4s, I go there very often for parts so I never have any problems getting a discount on non-4x4 parts (commuter cars). Many of the part's counter people know me by my first name (is that a good thing or a bad thing?).
