Frequently Asked Questions About Toyota Genuine Parts
Are Toyota Genuine Parts better than aftermarket parts?
Genuine Toyota OEM parts are designed specifically for Toyota vehicles, helping ensure proper fit, dependable performance, and compatibility. They also include the added benefit of Toyota's factory warranty, which many aftermarket parts do not offer.
Do genuine Toyota parts come with a warranty?
Yes. Genuine Toyota parts purchased from an authorized Toyota dealership are backed by a 12-month, unlimited-mile Replacement Parts Limited Warranty, giving you added confidence in the quality and reliability of your replacement parts.

What's the difference between OEM and Toyota Genuine Parts?
OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer, meaning the part is built to Toyota's original specifications. Genuine Toyota OEM parts are made by Toyota or approved suppliers and are designed to match the fit, function, and quality of the components that came with your vehicle from the factory.
How long does it take to get a special-order Toyota part?

Do I need to buy genuine parts to keep my Toyota warranty valid?
No, you can keep your Toyota warranty valid with aftermarket parts. However, using Genuine Toyota parts does have major advantages.
