REPAIR PARTS
Toyota Electronic Parts Catalog Available Now to Independents

Toyota has announced it is now making the full electronic catalog of Genuine Toyota Parts available online to independent repair shops. The Toyota electronic parts catalog (EPC) will provide independent shops with the same parts information available to Toyota dealers.

Access to the EPC, as well as electronic ordering, is available free through the automaker’s Web site at ToyotaPartsAndService.com. However, it is available only to shops sponsored by a participating Toyota STAR Elite dealer.

EPC benefits to repair shops include:

• VIN-specific searches, which reduce error rates when identifying and ordering parts.
• Access to the same parts data as the Toyota dealer, including detailed diagrams and illustrations to help find the exact parts and part numbers.
• The most current data available from Toyota.
• Locate, estimate and order parts anytime, directly through a shop’s preferred Toyota STAR Elite dealer.

For access to the Toyota EPC, an independent repair facility must be invited by a participating Toyota STAR Elite dealer. To locate a Toyota STAR Elite dealer in your area, contact your local Toyota dealer or visit www.toyotapartsandservice.com. Select the “Dealer Locator” button in the upper right.

ASRW attendees can try a “hands-on” demonstration of the EPC at the Toyota Genuine Parts booth #C9001.
