When it comes to sourcing parts for your vehicle, you want options that are reliable, durable, and fit just right. Perhaps most importantly of all, you want to work with a supplier that you know you can trust. Some unscrupulous stores might not have your best interests at heart and may be more concerned with securing the sale than giving you the parts you truly need, or try to talk you into thinking you need parts that aren’t actually suited to your vehicle. As a dedicated dealership, you know we’re passionate about Toyota, so keep reading as we unpack the benefits of genuine OEM parts and lay out the reasons why they’re worth the price over third-party alternatives.

Are Toyota Parts More Expensive Than Third Party?

While it’s true that genuine Toyota parts can be more expensive than third party alternatives, they do tend to last longer than non-OEM brands, meaning that the one-time price of a Toyota part ends up costing you less in the long run than less reliable competitors. As well, we offer regular parts specials to help offset the expense of maintaining your Toyota. 

Are Genuine Toyota Parts Worth It?

The short answer is ‘yes’! When you opt to shop Toyota, you’re guaranteed parts that were specifically designed for your vehicle and which won’t risk complicating your servicing appointments later: 

  • The Perfect Fit: With genuine Toyota parts, you can cut out the guesswork as to whether they’ll fit or work properly, since they were designed for your vehicle.
  • Warranty-Protected: When outfitting your vehicle with parts that weren’t designed for that purpose, you risk voiding your warranty. Considering the extensive coverage this gives you, it’s arguably not worth risking it to save some money.
  • Straightforward Selection: Why complicate the buying process? Third-party providers will have their own naming conventions for parts and won’t be able to confidently say that y part best fits x vehicle with the same confidence that a provider can, and certainly can’t make you the same promises in regard to performance reliability! 
  • Safe and Sound: Reliability is also an important factor when it comes to your safety out there on the road. Third-party manufacturers can’t make any guarantees when it comes to how a part will interact with the workings of your vehicle. When you choose third-party over OEM, you run the risk of a part malfunctioning, posing a threat not just to your vehicle health, but to you and your passengers as well. 
  • Guaranteed Service: Factory-trained Toyota specialists are accustomed to working with genuine Toyota parts, and might not be nearly so familiar with parts sourced from elsewhere. Aside from also being the potential cause of your vehicle’s complications, unfamiliar parts may also cause any service appointments to take longer, or require more than you would have needed to begin with. 
  • Made in Canada: Many of Toyota’s parts are manufactured right here in Canada, meaning you’re supporting local workers. As well, you side-step any additional costs that might be incurred by dealing with overseas companies.
