OEM Replacement parts from the direct manufacture.

This is a thread I think should be made to list Toyota's actual parts supplier and how to save money on quality OEM w/o the OEM prices

I bought a ABS wheel speed sensor from RockAuto made by "Standard" it turns out that it is the actual Toyota Part.
Its stamped Toyota with the Toyota part number in the same spot. (This part was $150 cheaper after shipping. And I work at a Toyota dealer)

I have a brand new water pump, turns out Aisin is Toyota's supplier ($90 cheaper RockAuto)

I also have a brand new clutch slave also made by Aisin. ($60 cheaper RockAuto)

Lets see what else people know of other then DriftMotion. We all know that one. Money saved is money spent well else where.

"Stone" Gaskets are the OEM supplier.

Can generally be found in a few aftermarket "kits" like MDS.

To be fair, Toyota Canada's prices are whack compared to Toyota USA's (I work at Toyota as well) If you were to compare say Champion Toyota's prices to rock auto's the pricing likely wouldn't be so insanely different.

I've saved hundreds of dollars so far buying parts for my Supra, Accord, and Protege by going with Rock Auto throughout the years. I like 'em alot.

We use world pac at work. They sell German and Asian and some domestic a lot cheaper than the dealer. If they don't have it I'll use rock auto or champion Toyota.

Ok fair enough... but Champion Toyota still gets it supplies from the same 4 Wharehouses that any other dealer gets in Canada/US. and quanties remaining are in short supplie, others parts have been already discontunined. But if you notice RockAuto sells multiple suppliers. This thread should identify those who supplied Toyota with their OEM's. This way when you do buy an after market you already know which one is actually OEM and the others are just aftermarket. Hope this clarifies any confussion.

IJ got the idead with his post.

I bought a turbo oil pump from advanced online a year ago.
It's the oem part Aisin. They just grind the word 'Toyota' off the base of the shaft. Paid $155, vs. $275+.

I thought Ishino supplied gaskets to Toyota? Do you happen to know anything about them?

Think it's actually "Stone-Ishino", always just called them Stone
