Default ? about credibility of mcgeorgeparts.com

Are there parts really TRD? or knockoff with the TRD name. Only reason i ask is because they have really good prices, almost too good, i work for toyota and i cant get the parts the cheap, especially there package deals like the TRD suspension package for 480$!! Also I ask casue the parts guys say the only place to get real TRD parts is the dealer itself, so if anyone on here has some insight info about who mcgeorgeparts really is that would be great

I've seen three places able to provide the suspension package for $500. Search suspension thread for my old posting. So it can be done!

i've bought from mcgeorge's a couple times and things were fine.. just because your dealer charges a crazy high price, doesn't mean other's can't sell it for less.. chances are it didn't cost that much for the dealer in the first place..

Do the trd parts(specifally the Sway bar) have to be installed by a dealer to "officially" count under the warranty? Only reason i saked is i have a friend thats a mechanic who'd probably help me out for a case of beer instead of shelling out and arm and leg for labor.

www.mcgeorgeparts.com and www.trdsparks.com are both Toyota dealers. I am partial to the latter.

TRD parts not installed by a dealer retain a one year warranty for defects from the date of purchase.

McGeorge parts is great. Easy to contact and deal with...very friendly folks...fast shipping...and they stick by their product.

I rcvd a TRD RSB from them that had a questionable weld...called them and they shipped out a new one the next day w/ return UPS sticker for the original one.

McGeorge guys are good guys - but the crazy prices on TRD suspension parts will not last past their current inventory - it was a blowout sale by TRD - not a price war, so by now TRD emptied the warehouse they were closing and the extra good deals will end. Hurry

My springs came in a Toyota box that had Toyota written all over it. They are an actual auto dealership.

The springs and floor mats are genuine and my mudguards are on the way.

By the way, their online ordering only allows you to select Ground or Overnight for shipping rates. I called and asked them if they shipped 2-day and they did. The guy grabbed my online order when it was placed and changed the shipping to 2-day and quoted me the exact price they charged.

I will do business with them again assuming their prices remain competitive.

I would say they are genuine parts

I also bought the TRD suspension package off of Ebay for $450. All the parts (springs, struts, swaybar) came in TRD
boxes

The other parts I have bought have been at about 30% off
of list (subwoofer, foglights, mudflaps). They also were definitely Toyota parts (er... Scion)

Both of these dealers are real dealers with genuine TRD parts at really good prices. Your store could have gotten in on the 'limited time' TRD sale, but must have missed the announcement. The sale is over, but some dealers still have some of the sale parts left over.
