Chirco is starting our Saturday Matinee BBQ Feb 28th
Message from Joe Chirco.
In January, I met with the staff and shared with them that it looks like 2008 was going to be a tough year for retail because of the housing slow down and the economy. I asked the staff what their thoughts were on how we should handle a potential slow down. Their suggestion was, we [...]

New way of providing information to our viewers

This struck Joe and I as funny
Joe and I were reviewing our online presence, and I was sharing with him that I thought that it wasn’t just other Air Cooled sites that we compete with. I shared with him that some of the monster automotive sites carry the same parts we specialize in. Similar to most chain stores carry spark plugs [...]

Welcome Aboard Brian
A month ago I posted around the Air Cooled world that
I needed help in our receiving department.
Brian showed up the next morning and we hired him the same day.
Brian has been a customer of ours for around for years with two different beetles.
He is also a newer member of the Tucson chapter of D3 Daileydrivendubz.

We are needing to get our used parts orginized.
Last year I shared with everyone we bought three VW Salvage
yards last year. We created everything up and carted it all
back to Tucson. Combined that with what we already had
and it equals toal disorginization. We can’t find anything. With
just the core engines we have, we lost two bay’s in the
service department. So Joe heard “Build [...]

Another show come and gone
The total car count was 152, 22 more than last year. I’m not quite sure how we can top this years show next year. We will have to get sun tan lotion girls by the dozens or something for entertainment. To everybody who made it out to Bug-toberfest ‘06, Thanks you.
For those who missed it, [...]

Bug-toberfest ‘06 is Oct 15th
The 11th annual Bug-toberfest is coming up quickly.
Hard to believe that this is the 11th consecutive year we have had this show. Every year it seems to keep growing and growing.
It must be the relaxed atmosphere, or maybe the fellowship among air-cooled folks.
Chapman VW of Tucson also brings out their new models for every one [...]
Labor Day Weekend
2006 has been the first year the we have closed the store down on Holiday weekends since it opened in 1980. In the past we would run a small staff that usually included Joe. Now that has changed, and this has created new problems. What to do with three full days? This year, Joe is [...]

If you were wondering why an air-cooled VW parts warehouse is doing a Blog, I would have to say that we really enjoy what we do and the people we get to meet. There is something about air-cooled VW folks? Most of you know we are located in Tucson Arizona and that we have a very [...]
