SUMMIT RACING. Thumbs up

I've starting to accumulate some parts for my front suspension and engine rebuild. In the past couple of months I've ordered quite a few things from Summit. I gotta say, they have the fastest free shipping I've ever seen. I usually have the parts within 24- 48 hours. Not sure if everyone gets those results but I am super impressed..........

Re: SUMMIT RACING. Thumbs up

Love them. I just avoid the chinese parts when at all possible, which can be difficult sometimes.

Re: SUMMIT RACING. Thumbs up

I agree, they are good and fast, but ROCK AUTO is cheaper.

Re: SUMMIT RACING. Thumbs up

If I can I will usually only order from Summit. When I was doing my engine build I had a box with the pistons, cam, and intake go missing with UPS. One phone call and they sent another order out, doesn't get much better than that!

Then you don't buy much for performance parts. Amazon is starting to handle some, but for custom made products, or special made products, Summit will even match any advertised product on price.

I've never found Summit useful for bigger parts. I've primarily used them in the past for special tools, hoses, fittings, applications, etc. Their shipping/handling rates always left much to be desired though.

RA/Amazon have been better than them in my experience, that was the point that maybe I didn't make clear.

Bigger/specialty parts, you'll usually find better deals directly from the source, locally, or hunting promos

Hell I gave them a go last year again, because I believe in giving people second chances, and received a broken tool in the mail. Chalk it up to bad luck, but you'd be crazy to 1) pay more for shipping/handling, 2) wait longer, and 3) take a chance continuing that trend if that kept happening to you.

Just my 2c buddy
Thanks

if you search summit discount codes on google youll get tons of sites listing every single code they have like this one https://www.retailmenot.com/view/summitracing.com

the problem is they are usually company specific such as "10% off Hurst Shifters"
