I must clarify this....

I lean towards Aftermarket parts that I know will work well, thru years of experience, and research. I also get them at wholesale thru the shop I run.

I only get a 20% discount thru the dealerships. So, if I can get a part I am confident will be good quality, I always go aftermarket.

ie: P/S belt, and A/C belts cost me about $10ea, and the Alt belt $15. Alt. adjust pulley $25. Toyota will be much higher.

ie: P/S pressure hose (pump to rack) thru Toyota is $324 list, plus $14 for the washers. I got one (by EDELMANN) thru Parts Plus for $156 list, includes the washers. The quality is great, and warrantied for a year.

Some things are only available thru the dealer, then you are stuck getting it from them.
