Where to get hubcaps replaced other than a dealer?

Anonymous
One of the hubcaps of my Toyota Camry 2012 came off. Where can I get them replaced other than the dealership which I would guess would be expensive.

Single mom and not very handy with automobiles. Online hubcaps are not expensive but not sure if I would be able to fix them myself. Please advice.

You got this!!

It’s so easy that my 80-year-old mother has done it several times because she keeps losing them.

You need to make sure it's in tight otherwise it will come off.

Check eBay. And as a mom, you should try to empower yourself with some basic mechanical knowledge. AAA used to offer classes, as do community colleges. Inspect your tires and check pressure at least once a month. This includes your spare tire. How old is your spare? Do you know how to use a Jack and replace a flat tire in an emergency? Do you have a safety kit? LED flares, blanket, water bottles, snacks in case of a mechanical issue. Check your coolant, oil, brake fluid, transmission fluid and power steering fluid periodically. You want to inspect for color and burnt odor. Changing brake fluid every 2 years is money well spent.

Hubcaps are easy to put on. Educate yourself, OP. I taught myself auto mechanics/troubleshooting. I've been working on my own vehicles for more than 30 years. I am a 50 yr old grandmother. Women limit themselves, I've noticed.
