Toyota Part Number Program

[Silent Smith]

Help!
I'm about to give up on buying from toyota without being right there looking at there parts screen. Is there a program or a leaked copy of theres that shows the parts and the part number (sorta like mitsu-CAPS).

I searched here and on google but did'nt see anything

Thanks

the EPC is hosted online here...my dealer loves me for it because i just hand him a number instead of "is the the part your talking about?"

I just go to my dealer, walk behind the counter, pop my head in the parts manager's office to say hello, then sit down at a computer and start working. lol...

Thanks

Most will be, some aren't.

lol. That's how it's supposed to work.... :icon_conf

Bryan: I guess I'm still not following your logic...
I'm more than a regular customer. I have odd requests at times (compared to a regular guy who needs a ball joint), and it's better that I look it up myself. We actually decided that. He showed me how to use the program, which was dead easy, and now I just go in and do it myself. Or I pull part #'s from the Cygnus EPC and call them in. I may even be getting a job there this summer.. That'd be cool.

I do work at a dealership, but a Chevy dealer. Basically the same program, but way different. Plus, I was looking up my parts at Toyota before I worked at Chevy...

I don't find it odd... most people think it's cool. I had to stop in while I was with a friend and just went through the routine. When we left, he was like "wow, I guess you really ARE here a lot.." lol.

I found the EPC after I posted, search I know I know....

But those part numbers seem way off. My front main seal is 90311-52003 where as the EPC listings stop at 8xxxx-xxxxx

Not sure if the epc listing was superceded or not

If I call in with the numbers from the EPC will they get it or is it wrong?
