For those who want an example of the savings I made by buying parts from John Hocker at Sierrra Vista toyota, instead of my local dealer, here goes.
Fan Fluid Coupling: Cdn dealer $240 cdn
Sierra Vista $140 cdn
Saved $100 cdn
Rear lower control arm bushings (4) : Cdn dealer$300 cdn
Sierra Vista $168cdn
Saved $132 cdn
I also ordered the front axle gasket kit and seal sets to do the birfs etc, but did not get the price from my local dealer. So on the fluid coupler and the bushings alone I saved $232 cdn. The shipping and brokerage fees through UPS cost $53 cdn for everthing including the gaskets and seals. You still have to pay GST(goods and services tax) to the feds, and provincial sales tax where applicable. It only took 8 days to reach me in Fernie B.C. from Sierra Vista Arizona.
Toyota Canada is ripping us off.
