You might want to consider self-maintenance:
  • Knowledge - (TIS)
  • TechStream-lite - your laptop and the rest from TIS
  • tools - metric, VOM, e.t.c.

The TIS manuals for you car would be a good start. When I bought my 2003 Prius, I bought the maintenance manuals and schematics. It has been my roadmap to the car systems.

This Toyota shop has many parts 'online'. I have no idea of what the part number but this would be a good place to start:

Genuine Toyota Parts, Toyota World, TRD Supercharger, Toyota Parts, Toyota Accessories, Discounts on Toyota Parts

GOOD LUCK!
