OES Parts That Can be Bought Online

[CamryCA]

Hi,

I'm a new owner of a 1994 Camry LE 4 cyl, auto. It needs some work and since I'm very low income at this time I'm trying to save some money on parts.

Auto Warehouse has a wide selection of OES parts so I wondered if anyone here can give me
advice or reviews about the quality of these brands:

Centric
Bendix
Beck Arnley
PBR
Aisin
A1 Cardone
Dorman
Replacement
OES Genuine
AutoTrust

Some of these brands and parts have warranties from 12 to 36 months. I thought
that sounded pretty good but I don't know for sure.

I know I can go to the dealer and get Toyota parts. I will do that for many crucial parts,
like brakes.

But sometimes you have to wonder if a plastic/rubber hose is really worth the $130 dealer
price when an OES hose can be purchased for $80.

Thanks for all viewpoints. So far I feel quite spoiled driving this car around since I've
only owned rough-rider small SUVs or compact cars for a long time.

I'd rather buy OEM from our site vendor for cheaper.

Some of those brands are good. It depends on what part though. Sometimes it doesnt matter, other times you want a high quality part. But for brakes I got brembo replacement brakes off tirerack for a really good price.

+1, when it's something other than a consumable. I've had excellent service and pricing from Gary at Toyota of Newnan, for example.
