Where to buy OEM brake pads

[freeflight]

Hi there,

I need to replace both the front and rear brake pads on my 2004 4Runner, V6, 4WD, 65K miles on the OEM pads. Dealer's parts department gave me the following quote,
$100 for front pads
$75 for rear pads.

This sounds expensive to me. I got these part number off internet,
front pads, 0446535290
rear pads, 0446660090

Where is a good place to buy these pads?

Thanks,
Kevin

Try an online retailer like toyotapart.com or something along those lines. Personally, I wouldn't buy factory pads...but if you are set on it then at least try and save some money.

wow those prices seem a bit high, and i worked the parts counter for 3 years. Id call around to another dealer with those part #s and tell them the other place quoted you this amount, then they may help. I always did. A little less in my pocket is still a sale. Id rather sell something that not, regardless my margin.

Called another dealer, they can do $150. OEM pads are quite expensive, but worked well on my truck so far.

The lowest price I got from Amazon is $115 shipped. Just wondering if there is a better price.

I know how you feel. Online dealers say the rear wiper arm list price is $47. My local stealership wants $60.
