It would have been cheaper/faster to take it to a Muffler Shop for massaging to fit.

I have ordered several parts from Joe Chirco over the past year. I usually buy them from his eBay store. The parts are always shipped really fast. I recommend Chirco for anything you need.

I have made one purchase from Chirco via his eBay store. I bought a pair of euro bumper guards at a good price and fast shipping.

I wasn't expecting a high quality product as I intended to have them rechromed anyway. I just assumed I would be receiving some cheap, aftermarket EMPI crap to go with my rechromed aftermarket bumper.

Anyway, this isn't really a complaint, but my only concern was that Chirco's tore the guards off the carded package to fit them in his shipping box easier. They were still in the vacuum formed plastic, but I had no way of telling who manufactured these guards. I wanted to know because I want different ones. Those Chirco sold me were actually drilled and tapped for American hardware, not metric! WTF?! A Chinese-made part for a German car...American hardware?!

Again, not Chirco's dealing, but I'll have to follow up with him directly to learn of the manufacturer because he removed the original packaging. As a whole, great service though.

I've been dealing with Chirco's for over 20 years, both in store and on-line. I have never had an issues with them. Service, stock, advise, etc has always been spot on. I only had one mis-shipped item (incorrect headlight ring) and it was rectified fast and without issue or "fees".
I see a lot of shipping complaints, but that is out of their hands once they pass the order on.
USPS (Post Office) is now the fastest, and UPS the slowest. This is not Chirco's fault.

I think some people are only happy on this site if they are bashing some one. They are a great company, and now shipping is free for most items.

I will use them as long as I'm on the green side of the grass!

I bought an oil pump puller tool to use on air-cooled VW engines from Chirco Performance via their Ebay listing on August 28th, 2013. It was only $9.27 shipping included.

The problem occurred when the U.S.P.S. mis-sorted the package that I was to receive. The tracking number followed it to Brooklyn, NY (although it should have gone to south western PA). Then, it seems the USPS lost it. Buy this time it was now Saturday September 6th.

I contacted Chirco via email late the night of September 6th (a Saturday night) explaining the problem, and asking them if they too could try to get the USPS to follow up on their error.

I then received an email from Chirco on Monday September 9th telling me they shipped out a second item at know charge to me (even though the USPS lost it and it wasn't the seller's fault). I again contacted Chirco (this time by phone and spoke with "Will") and asked what I should do if/when the USPS delivers the original part. He said just keep it as a spare.

Wow! What great customer service I experienced. Thank-you "Will" at Chirco.

A great seller! I would definitely buy from them again.

I bought a set of wiper arms from them off eBay, I was stuck with wipers that didn't even match one another, both were same color but one was almost twice as wide and had to be shaved some after they told me "I had to deal with it". Two days after installing them, one fell off due to the screw being stripped. The other is tightened as best as it can be and still slips on the shaft. Before they shipped I asked to make sure they matched. I was assured they would send a matching pair, someone must have forgotten send out the memo about it. I learned my lesson and I'd rather buy EMPI China made crap from now on.

Bought a couple of roll cages from Joe... His customer service is amazing and he went above and beyond to get me the most inexpensive shipping to Canada!
Thanks again

I bought a rebuilt 6volt generator for my '56 from Chirco a few weeks ago. After polarizing and installing it, it was putting out insufficient voltage. As per a label on the generator I called the rebuild company's tech support. We went over how I polarized and installed and checked voltage and they told me to contact Chirco to have another one sent to me. I called and they were apologetic and sent one out no questions asked which I received three days later. Installed it and it works great.
Great customer service and shipping! Will order again.
