What clients say about Summit Racing in Tallmadge (OH)
If I lived any closer I think I'd go broke lol. Easily the best place in Ohio to get any parts for any vehicle. So many items in stock and way better prices then AutoZone, O'Reilly's, advanced,and Napa
Drove 2 hours to pickup parts needed in a rush to almost not get my pre paid parts due to getting locked out of my PayPal because, like the Gen X computer illiterate person I am, I forgot my password and guessed too many times. I had a screen shot of my confirmation, bank card which last 4 numbers were shown in screen shot, and drivers license and was not sufficient. Wasnt until I almost went nuclear that they made the one time exception...about 20 minutes only to wait another 15 minutes for my parts that I bought online and was "Ready" to go 30 minutes after transaction. Used to be a dan but not so much any more.
Steer CLEAR of Summit! My husband is a long time customer. He has spent thousands. They sent him a Chrysler part for a Chevy. Everything he has ever bought is only for a chevy. they admitted their error, getting a refund was a different ball game. They refused to give the money back including rush shipping, so had to dispute it with CC company. Now they are complaining because discover took their money back even though he shipped the part back at our expense! They owe us. Absolute WORST customer service ever! Sad this once great company is no longer!
Summit Racing is a wonderful business. Their prices are lower than most, with quality equal or better than others. When you have something shipped, it's packed securely and with evident care so that you get it in great shape. Finally, if there is ever an issue with a product, Summit Racing's customer service is excellent. They stand behind what they sell and will work with you to find a solution. It's reassuming to know that some businesses value your patronage and are willing to work to win it. Based on my experience, Summit Racing is definitely one of those places.
They sent an order that had damaged parts and a bunch of garbage. I tried to contact them sat on hold for over 30 minutes no one got a hold of me. I got a hold of my credit card company which summit credit card and told them to stop charges after 13 days I had not heard anything from summit the credit card company couldn't even get a hold of them at that point summit black balled me and won't let me purchase anything from their site. Credit card company had no issues with siding with me since they couldn't get a hold of summit for a resolution. I have since tried to place orders with summit when the vendor of item I want tells to try summit because they have the product I want on hand and summit will withdraw money from account and then cancel order taking there sweet time to cancel credit card. They could have recouped 20 times the lost money that they feel I screwed them out of when I purchased complete top name brake system from supplier direct.
Reliable retailer that stands by its products and warranty! Highly recommend Summit Racing, because we had a 12v AGM battery die within 18 months and Remi at Summit Racing provided excellent warranty support service.
Will buy other automotive parts and supplies from Summit given the opportunity. Kudos to Remi (Customer Support Agent) for a quick and effortless interaction and resolution to our inquiry.
It’s extremely frustrating to deal with a company that ALWAYS has difficulty managing information/options for vehicles. When you select vehicle options and it bundles up products not relevant to the vehicle, and the tech support admits it, I see no point in working thru the frustration when we aren’t looking at the same parts. This website is always a hassle, which is why I hate shopping here.
I’ve been using Summit Racing for so long that I can remember ordering from them back before they moved into their current location—they used to be in a strip mall of sorts.
We use Summit constantly, and at this point they’re not just a parts supplier for us—they’re a key part of how we operate. When you’re building, maintaining, and racing cars the way we do, you don’t have the luxury of delays, wrong parts, or guesswork. Summit consistently delivers on the things that matter most: a massive selection, clear and accurate listings, fair pricing, and fast shipping that actually shows up when you need it.
What really sets Summit apart is reliability. Whether it’s routine maintenance items, race parts, or that one specific piece you didn’t realize you needed until the night before a thrash session, they’re the first place we check because they’ve earned that trust. Their inventory depth and the way they support builders and racers makes it easier to keep projects moving—and in our world, momentum is everything.
If you’re serious about cars—street, strip, drag-and-drive, or anything in between—Summit Racing is one of those companies you end up leaning on more than you expect. We genuinely couldn’t do what we do without them, and they’ve been a dependable part of our program for years.

Bought a $1000.00 cat back magnaflow exhaust system I received the exhaust box all taped up looks like it was returned from someone. It was missing all hardware called summit they said they’d send it right out to me 3 weeks later I still don’t have the hardware Summit customer service is horrible never will buy again
Stopped there this weekend during a snow storm. They were still open and ready to help me complete my order and get me on my way. Wish I could of spent more time looking through their dent and scratch sale. Awesome place to shop for automotive parts.
Summit is an amazing place! People from all over the country order parts from them. I'm lucky enough to have one a few miles up the road. I'm not a race car owner but I do buy items to customize my daily drivers. They have floor mats, bed liners, tonneau covers, rims, tires, light bars and so much more! If you live close enough, just go there. It's fun to browse their huge showroom.
I usually end up buying more than I originally went for in the first place. Love this store. It has all your performance parts and the staff here are of great help and knowledgeable.
Super helpful, quick, and kind customer service! I just got off the phone with Elizabeth who helped me resolve an issue I had with delayed shipping. I understand the shipping issue was most likely the delivery company however she was incredibly understanding and helped resolve the issue quickly. Great customer service, thanks Elizabeth!
Every time I call customer service it feels like a small business. The folks that work here know what they're selling and are happy to help. So many parts options too, ready to ship.
My son since a toddler and every man loves this place .
One point of interest.
Wives, girlfriends.
Drop the men off.
You will have 1- 2 , perhaps 3 hrs to go do your own thing.
😆 🤣 😂
Only the best OEM and performance store on planet earth i have been going for 20 years and have had family doing the same longer than my self. ALWAYS A PLEASURE TO SEE THE VEHICLES AND AMAZING STAFF. Highly recommended 👌
Everyone was super nice to me, needed to make some exhaust repairs on the way to Cuyahoga national park. Couldn’t have asked for a better place to pop up on the way. They had everything I needed and everyone was very friendly.
They have everything for muscle cars, classics, and trucks. Unfortunately they have bar codes on all the parts and you have to scan everything to see the prices. I DO NOT WANT TO USE MY PHONE TO SEE YOUR PRICES...
You'd get 5 stars if not for that.
Not happy about that at all...
Good place to have a meet up if your purchasing from facebook 😅 has a very large parking lot.
Also inside now has a CB / radio shop.
Lots of misc car parts to purchase / deals inside.
-If you havent gone and you like cars - this is a place for you.
*Key point- You can buy race suits, gloves, helmets right in store.
I liked it better when they were smaller. The guys knew what aftermarket parts would fit any vehicle, not just what the computer said to use. Beautiful vehicles in the show room though!
I'll never send me is just garbage.
Supposedly I'm getting a product from OEM but there's nothing that says this is from OEM. They welded the support for bolting on this frame for the radiator and the supports were welded on crooked.
Seriously, this is the most fun you're gonna have legally, and you get to tell people that you were at summit racing? It's an awesome place. It's filled with toys for adults and kids, and it's just automotive Nirvana.
Almost always have what you need in stock. Service is great. Products are pretty good. I do like the shelves full of returned items. The tech questions are always good. I do miss the free t-shirts though ;)
Absolute awesome experience. My cashier/ Kristian made my visit very pleasant and was extremely professional and very helpful. It's so nice to walk into a building and have pleasant people. I think he likes his job. Great guy. Great experience. Got everything I needed. Thank you so much! We'll see you soon. Hopefully not too soon 🫣😁👍🏽💪🏽🙌🏽🙏🏽
Love summit racing as I've used them almost exclusively for 30 years. On a work trip I was able to stop by and window shop. Took some photos of the store while I was there. Cool thing to know is they have a clearance area for returned, usable parts that are complete and serviceable. Would be awesome to live nearby and pick up something wanted or needed at a heavily discounted "demo" price. The real adult "toy store".
Drove roughly 2 hours to get here. I went just for the experience, it's alot easier to order online. It was neat for the kids to see the cars on display. It was very crowded and I never once saw one person clean or wipe anything. Truthfully I don't think one employee was personable. Did the bare minimum. Variety of sizes and selections in the clothing department as well as toys for the kids.
