CertiFit Parts

[Ralph Wiggum]

My wife cracked the passenger side mirror housing on our Sequoia backing it out of the garage. The assembly from CertiFit is about a 1/4 of the price of the Toyota mirror assembly, but if it's a piece of junk, I would rather buy the OEM piece.

Does anyone have experience with CertiFit body pieces? Are they of decent quality?

I have never used them but the car guy on KSTP AM 1500 recommends them.

Ask any body man and he'll tell you no. That said, I've used their stuff several times and been satisfied for what it was, but usually not on anything real new or nice. Its "good enough" quality but seldom is as good as OEM. You usually get what you pay for.

Head to the junk yard!

It's a 2001, so I'm not going to be too picky. $40 vs. $170 is awful tempting. Wish I could take a look at it before I order one.

[Macgyver55]

They normally look just fine, fit and finish are not perfect but acceptable in most cases.

I'd probably be more concerned with longevity of the inner workings of a power mirror, although I put one on a 2001 GMC pickup over a year ago and so far so good.

They do have an outlet on 35E and 694 so they could bring one out and let you look at it.

I dont think you can order by color though, you can get either black, chrome or paintable depending on the application.

ralph, did the same thing on my tacoma and the stealership was pretty steap on price. there are several auto salvage places on line (especially the one that sounds like flea-bay)

I got a good deal on a mirror assembly from a nordstroms auto which was just down the road from me.

Get the CertiFit, I bought many parts from them and had no problem at all.

They will let you look at the part, you DO HAVE to open the box and inspect it in case there's a defect, if you don't like it don't buy it, no problem.

[Ralph Wiggum]

Thanks, guys. I am going to go over at lunch and see if it looks good enough for me.

[Ralph Wiggum]

I was pleasantly surprised with it, so I saved myself the $130 and went with the Certifit.
