Default ? about parts

new to the forum...where do you guys get your parts?

i own mbz 560 sec and i've learned OEM is the only way....at least for this car. i'm assuming its the same for the lexus. dealer parts, right? i do most all of my own work so i don't mind paying the extra. i've been well trained with my SEC on buying original parts. with my mbz i've used the dealer and a place in arizona, called autohausz.

has anyone use them for lexus parts?

thanks for the help

I generally use a couple well known OEM suppliers, occasionally with rockauto/amazon parts from brand name aftermarkets.

generally my OEM parts come from www.l-tunedparts.com or westminster lexus. both are in southern california, and both are sponsors on this forum.

I've bought from autohausaz and they have oem parts for competitive prices. Good place to look for part numbers and compare prices with parts geek and rockauto.

Carson Toyota/L-Tuned is a good shop, shipping on some items may be a wash. I typically pick them up since they are close by. For small stuff where a few $ isn't a big deal or I need it ASAP, I go to the local Lexus dealer. For fluids like the Type-IV tranny and coolant your local Toyota dealer will have good prices.
