Their products are fine. Trick flow makes a good product. Valve springs need to be upgraded imo.

Ive bought alot their had a few things wrong they sent me but they didnt hesitate to fix anything and made it right, (they paid shipping for the right parts and paid my shipping back) thats why I still do business with them. JEGS not so much. I have some of summits AN fittings along with russel AN fitting and their identical. Also have summit headers, quality is good but they put cheap paint on them. Easy fix tho

I've dealt with them for over 15 years and have never had a bad experience with them. The Summit brand name is good value and their prices are great!

A+ Customer service. They ship fast. I get a knock at the door with my product as soon as I hang up the phone.

I've placed many phone orders with Summit long before the "internet" days. Always got great service and fast shipping with them.

But now that there are so many vehicle specific forum sponsors, I don't find myself using places like Summit, Jegs much anymore.

Summit is the ****. I live next to the one in GA. Its a candy store for gear junkies. All Summit parts are, are parts labeled under summit but are still produced by the big name companies. If you ever buy a product with the Summit name, just look at a similar product brand that you think it would match too. And usually that product is made by that company. I have bought several parts, rims, cleaners, and paints, and all of them were great product. They are typically cheaper and they still share the same warranties as the big names. Luckily I pay no S&H

If I lived that close to Summit Racing I would be penniless.

Summit is great. I order Royal Purple oil and K&N oil filters every 5,xxx miles. It's cheaper to pay their S&H than to go to Autozone or O'Reilly's and get it. Summit brand stuff is made by others(I'm almost positive that K&N makes the SummitRacing CAI for example)

I heard plenty of people bad mouth summit, but as alot of previous posters here i've ordered tons of stuff from there and never had issues. I don't like navigating their site, i think it could be better. But competitive prices, fast turnaround time, and shipping for me is almost always 2nd day arrival (i love that!)

However, i've never bought "summit" brand items... not sure how those tend to work out
