For the 6 months we have really been trying to use the power of video on Youtube to explain to our customers about the parts we carry in our eStore. For years we had the option of using photos and good text descriptions to show our online audience, but now we have upped our game. [...]

We just listed all Empi’s HPMX and EPC Carburetor Kits
Around 5 years ago, Empi started producing their own version of the IDF Weber carburetor and call it the HPMX. At first the carbs struggled and had some problems with being able to adjust them. Now that Empi is on the 5th generation of their carbs and the bugs have been worked out, they have [...]

New way of providing information to our viewers
Chircoestore.com has been experiencing massive growth over the last couple of years. So Joe and I have been trying to figure out how to increase the value to our online audience. We have always tried to provide quality images for the products. With the newest version of the site, we are even able to have [...]
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 [...]

We are branching out to main stream shopping sites.
This is a new market for us, but with so many new e-customers out there
we felt it was time to share our items on a more traditional site.
Chirco has been on eBay for over 5 years with great success.
We love having e-newbies and e-pros a like find us on what has to be the coolest place [...]
We have started reconiditioning our used parts
It is a fairly easy process for most parts.
Once the part is determined to be usable,
it gets put in the parts washing tank
so all of the old debris and grease comes off.
The the part is then dryed off with an
air gun and put into our new sand blaster.
Our new sandblaster is very powerful and really get [...]
The New Chirco.com is up and Running!
Lots of the new Chirco.com is similar to the previous version.
But what we needed to give our customers was more bells and whistles.
The new Chirco.com has plenty of those. The biggest thing our customer wanted was a wish-list option. This allows a user to create a much larger list of items than they can either [...]
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 [...]
Just another day at the shop
With real German parts getting hard to find, we always have to be on the prowl for parts. Well we got lucky again, this time in Northern California. We sent half our staff on a tear down mission to get every re-useable part out of this fine collection of cars. The top photo shows a [...]
