I just want to give a thumbs up to Summit Racing. I have had a number of dealings with them over the past few years and every experience has been a good one. This would include returned items to next day deliverys. They again saved my bacon this past week with an overnighter.
I had ordered over $1000 worth of stuff from them, came in 3 boxes from 3 different locations, all arrived on the 3rd day and everything was there. That was about 3 weeks ago. Biggest order ive ever placed with them and everything went flawless just like the small orders in the past. A+ from me.
Ordered my dad the SLP airbox lid for his ls1 car and it was late november last year and the guy said it might take a week or two because of the holiday season. 3 days later it was in along with a hat and shirt.
+1 for summit from me
Ha ha. My shipping is the fastest! I just go to the store in Tallmadge and pick stuff up. LOL!
But ya One thumb up. Only problem i have is i replaced another diff cover and the bolts again were too long. one they were too big 1 ton instead of 3/4 ton bolts. But all together not too bad. I still love em!
summit is the best place i've ordered from and i've ordered ALOT this year. they usually have my parts at my door within 2 days since theyare fairly close to me
I'd order from them more if I didnt have to pay taxes.
The drive from here to Mcdonough where the Summit UberStore is costs as much in gas money as the shipping charges, and then I have to pay taxes on it either way... so I just buy from jegs.
I'd rather buy from Summit, but 6 or 7 percent sales tax on $500+ worth of stuff plus shipping adds up...

Ditto, but what do you do when Summit AND Jegs are BOTH in Ohio?? lol
Ordered probalby close to $1500 worth of stuff from them through the past 4 years and everything is great. Returned items are reimbursed fast and without hassle. Fast shipping too. All quality parts

Thumbs up to Summit, now they need to lower the cost of handling to 5 bucks
Since I get the majority of my performance parts from places that have free shipping and handling if you spend over 100 bucks, sometimes there is no min. limit.
I like them alittle better than Jegs because they seem to have a different selection suited to my type of cars and parts I am looking for.

handling needs to be lowered for cheaper orders and smaller parts i'd say. 10.95 or w/e it was for some lug nuts seems abit high but other than that, its great when you order 584 dollars of slicks/wheels and only ahve to pay 16 more dollars to ship them
I understand the $10 shipping is high for small parts, but Summit makes up for it in their service. I have ordered from them probably 20 times and have never, ever had a problem or slow shipping.
I'll also give summit a thumbs up. I only had one problem with them before, I was ordering -an fittings for braided hose and couldn't find em all on their website so I called and they transfered me to a tech guy to help me find the part #'s I needed, I needed a fitting to scale down my 8an fitting to connect to a 6an fitting on a hard line, basically a threaded piece with 8an threads on 1 end and 6an on the other, I told him that and he pretended to understand and I ended up getting an 8an to 3/8ths 90degree bend piece, they did correct the error though and paid return shipping.
Another Thumbs up for Summit. I ordered new Energy Suspension sway bar end links for my 91 Trans Am on Wednesday and they arrived today via their standard UPS shipping.
I have spent more than a five thousand with Summit over more than a decade (how much for sure, I don't think I want to know) and have always had a good experience.
I wish I could say the same for Jegs. Things usually go right with Jegs, but once in a while... So I go with Summit whenever I can to make life just a tad easier.
I use summit all the time, and i use jegs too, i like them both, though summit definitely, hands down has a better website, searching is sooooo easy.
+1 for summit, great company
just made another order through summit and love the site and service and shipping is just fantastic. i ordered stuff from 2 places summit was the second and it was 3 days after the 1st order and it arrived the same day. awsome!!! i always look there first.
AHH what a lucky guy!! I love summit! Fastest delivery in town and if there is a discrepancy, even FASTER! I ordered from Napa, never again. Stick with summit better customer service, faster shipping.
