“For a limited time of 12 months Toyota has reduced the list price on 12 key heavy mechanical parts lines, covering over 300 individual parts,” the company said in a statement.
The head of the automaker’s customer service division, Matthew Callachor, said Toyota owners expected repairers to use genuine parts in their vehicles, especially if the vehicles were still under warranty.
“By reducing the price of these typically expensive heavy mechanical vehicle parts, Toyota is now assisting repairers to meet customer expectations,” he added.
“Toyota genuine parts are thoroughly researched, developed and tested to the specifications of each… model to ensure safety and durability.”
The price reductions of up to 60% cover some crankshafts, cylinder blocks, cylinder heads, diff carrier assemblies, engine assemblies, injection pumps, short blocks, partial engines and two types of diff carrier sub-assemblies and transmissions.
All are supplied by the automaker itself, Toyota stressed.
