Wanted to get your thoughts on the issue at hand.
I purchased a 99 LC around a month ago. It has 143k miles on it, but it's running on the stock/original timing belt and water pump. I have a local independent mechanic who has always been good to me and provides good/honest work.
They said that I can bring in my own parts, but that the 1 year-12,000 mile warranty would be void (seeing as they didn't source the parts themselves).
For the 90k service would you guys forgo the 1 year warranty if it meant you could bring in your own Toyota OEM parts? I figure with the connections on Ih8mud, I could get everything needed for the 90k service for the same price (or maybe even lower) than the mechanic would pay for aftermarket/third party parts. timing belt, serpentine belt, water pump, pulleys, idlers, thermostat, gaskets, etc.
Also, who do i get with on here for the best pricing? Beno and Cruiser Dan?
Appreciate you guys
