How can I find out who supplies toyota brake shoes

burtons

I need a new set of brake shoes for my toyota yaris but toyota want £62 so how do I find out who supplies toyota so I can find the one's I need then I can match them with another supplier. I'm thinking they use Automotive Prouducts

Just go onto EuroCarParts or similar and pick the correct ones (make sure to check for any discount codes 40% discount on MOT essentials at the moment).  If the the £62 is for supply and fit that doesn't sound too bad.  Have you got an independent garage to do them for you or are you going to sit on the grave in the pithing rain doing them yourself (as Fred would do after watching a YouTube video)?

I find Mister-Auto about the best site for seeing what brands are available.
Assuming a 2013-on 1.3...

Not exactly a wide choice - and it looks like there's two different pad shapes, according to which caliper manufacturer is fitted.

Toyota supply Toyota brakes.
They have a majority slice of a subsidiary company that make certain chassis parts for them called Aisin Seiki that make them under the the brand name of Advics.

So if you buy genuine Toyota Pads in a Toyota box, they'll have Advics stamped on the pad backs somewhere.

If you're looking for OEM, look for Advics or Aisin

op, are you fitting the yourself if so i use gsf for most of my parts or if they dont have a part im after in stock i use a local motor factors, used to use euro carparts a lot but got really tired getting wrong parts plus the customer service in the stores is shocking really slow etc....

if you are getting the garage to fit them then i would let them by the parts that way you still have warrenty etc... if the part is faulty etc... and wont have to repay twice as the garage will cover it and get the money back from its supplier. so worth it in the long run

No, not necessariliy, my genuine, in a Toyota box from a Toyota dealer, are made in France and marked "Textar" on the pads.

The actual calipers are A.T.E.

The O.P. is wanting shoes, not pads anyway.

Therefore Google isn't always your friend.

Bearing in mind Yariseses are assembled in France, this is no great surprise.

I think my toyota pads was marked Textar. When the shoes are fitted I cannot see any name on the shoes but the retaining clips are stamped ap. These shoes are like the ones that are on my car.

Would these be rear brakes by any chance?

Well I'm getting back two different OEM's for 04495-0D040, rear shoes 2001 to 2012.
Ferodo and Aisin/Advic.

For 04495-52140 I'm only getting OEM Aisin/Advic.

Though it's not unusual for manufacturers to change suppliers mid build, have two or more suppliers of the same part or use different suppliers in different factories if they are spread throught the world. 

For aftersales, particularly if it's an older car, the manufacturers could use any supplier to supply brake friction parts.
