I have begun to make a list on all the repairs and upkeeps I am looking to do on my 1995 4runner. I was freaking SHOCKED when I contacted the Bob Howard Toyota in Edmond Oklahoma about the repairs. Everything from the brakes to the radiator was almost 3-4 times the amount than what is wanted at a independant shop. I assume that they’d be genuine parts, and done by certified Toyota techs.

For example I was thinking about a SILLA radiator, don’t know why really, but it’s about $200. The dealership wants almost $600 for theirs…
