Aaron (Lithia Toyota/te51levin)
Aaron just plain rocks. I have bought tons of parts from him/Lithia Toyota and their prices rock. Usually shipping is cheaper than even paying sales tax here (dealership located in Oregon - they have no sales tax), and the prices are insanely better than prices on local items from the dealership.
Great prices, support, friendly attitude, and helps where/when he can. For instance there have been several times where I have went to go fix something and order everything but 1 gasket somewhere. He informs me that there is a gasket right there, explains it's location, gives me a cost, and asks if I want that as well. This has saved my ass a couple of times.
Recently I called and got the skinny on the TRD parts for the SW20 and had a discussion about the discontinuation of the sways/springs. He explained to me that he has been in talks with TRD and honestly didn't know what the outcome would be. He informed me that he had 1 set of springs left, a couple rear sways, and was unable to get any front sways at the current moment. He said that might change, but everything is looking unlikely. I bought the springs and rear swya at a great price from him, and he actually gave me the name of another dealership that had some. Here is a guy that hands out a number to a completely different, unafiliated dealership, just to help me get the part I need. Most places would just say we don't have it, and try back later.
Bottom line is he is a stand-up guy, extrememly good customer service/support, great prices, fast delivery, and has yet to ever get an order wrong (and I am in the couple thousands worth of parts so far). If you don't at least give him a call and see what he can do for ya, you're doing yourself a disservice. Thanks Aaron!
