Thinking about changing the Timing Belt what parts should I change? Where should I buy the parts at? THink would be an good idea to buy the part from Pep Boys or NAPA? Do they use different parts than the Lexus Dealer?

a lot of work involved, bro...i wudn't do it unless u hv the correct tools and of course, good experience.
but if you succeed, try to change water pump as well. timing belt runs about under 40 bucks from the dealer but not sure of the water pump. i paid $150 for the labor on timing belt.

I wont do the work i have a personal mechanic....I just want to know is there a difference in quality of parts between Pep Boys and the Lexus Dealer? Will i the parts last just as long as the Lexus Dealer or close to as long?

Also what parts should I change? Iknow the Timing Belt,and Water Pump. Is it nessacary to change anything else? I have 114000 Miles on my car.
