Dealer Repair Parts Pricing Secrets

Comments in our recent post about the Tundra-Sequoia Air Pump TSB have uncovered wild price ranges for repair parts. Some people are able to purchase after-market air pumps from their local national parts chain (Pep Boys, for example) for less than $900, while others are being quoted nearly $1200 by their local Toyota dealer…30% higher than after-market. Obviously, this is frustrating some Tundra owners.

Also frustrating Tundra owners is the fact that a relatively simple electric pump costs $900-$1200 in the first place.

Here’s the how and why of how dealers and manufacturers price repair parts.

New Accessory Review System

We’re happy to announce a new system for reviewing accessories that allows everyone to contribute their opinion – please take a moment to check it out:

The new TundraHeadquarters.com accessory review system

You can find it by clicking on the “Tundra Accessories” link in the menu bar or by clicking on the “Tundra Accessory Reviews” link in the drop-down menu.

This system is brand new and relatively un-tested. SO – if you find something that’s broken, or something that doesn’t look right, please let us know.

Also, if you don’t see a part or accessory that you’d like to review, please send us a quick note and tell us what you’d like to see us add.

Finally, if you haven’t done so already, please leave a review for your favorite parts. Sharing your opinion will help all Tundra owners figure out what parts they should or should not buy. Your opinion counts!

Special thanks to Cache for your development work and Justin for helping us get this thing up and running – we really appreciate all your efforts.
