This morning I went to get an official inspection and estimate from my insurance provider.

Do these charges seem too high or is this a pretty fair pricing?

That sounds pretty cheap to me. The labor rate when I got my Yaris fixed recently was over double that.

Thank you. That is good to hear.

Is it acceptable to purchase my own parts? Is that a faux pas?

I found all three parts for less expensive at toyotapartsoverstock.com.

For example, 6905152440 (RT Cylinder & Key Set):
- $63.70 from the insurance quote
- $46.51 here: http://www.toyotapartsoverstock.com/...905152440.html

Anyone have experience purchasing through here or any other Toyota parts website?

You may want look into higher end model Toyotas with the same type of door handle, than you could get chrome and not need to paint.

Definitely isn't bad in price.
I've seen triple that on similar situations.
