I purchased all the parts online from a Toyota at a discounted price. I picked up the parts.
I did shop around for competent independent mechanic who would not charge extra labor hours. Total price was about $400 for labor.
Best way to go. Good for you. I usually order parts online for big discounts. I recently ordered the trailer-wire harness from Japan via Megazip for a big discount.
I’ve done the thermostat, hoses, and belt. Not difficult but the thermostat was a bit of a bugger due to one small bolt. If I had the option to do all that work or pay a mechanic $400 then I’d be highly tempted to have a mechanic do it.
