They have the same manufactures as alot of the other companies out there selling parts(Cip1, Jbugs, SoCal, ect). The prices are higher but they carry the same stuff as others. Back in the early 90's they didnt carry the bigger names in VW parts but now they do. If you have money to burn then buy from them. As always, shop around. |

In the late 80's, early 90's their stuff was considered junk. Based on Ryan's comments, it sounds like they have improved the quality of their product line. |

I would suggest MidAmerica I have only had one problem with them but they fixed it and ended up giving me parts free |

It is a shopping around issue.. JCW has some good things and some all out junk.. prices I've seen have been high and then just a few of them are good prices.. It will all be based on shopping around.. and breaking that $75 mark for free shipping. I've found good/great prices at SOCALimports but the product is extremely middle of the road.. CIP1 not so bad of pricing but free shipping and no tax along with a sale coupon here and there really can make up for so so products. Wolfsburg has actually decent prices and great quality. I order allot from CB performance also.. and have rarely been dissapointed there. Here in Austin we have very little to choose from so mail order is always high on the TO-DO list.. |
