Always have what I need with a smile on their face. They don't seem to stock junk fuel pressure gauges like every single one stocked at summit either. Props for keeping quality on the shelf and leaving the trash where it belongs.

Old school hot rod shop, needed a holley carb. Bolt instock. They also do modern LS. Support your local shop before they won't be there to help you.

Micheal really tried to help me figure out my fuel line situation super helpful awesome service to notch. Very knowledgeable with anything having to do with nitrous

A long story but one worth telling.
I’m rebuilding a 350 blower motor. In the interest of time I tore it all apart then took it to a shop to have the bottom end rebuilt. Got it back, put all the rest together, and put it back in the car. Something was clearly wrong so I took it back out of the car and tore it down again. I made a stupid mistake when tearing it down and ruined a brand new roller lifter. The set had cost me about $450.
The engine builder who had built the bottom end and sold me the roller cam and roller lifters had closed up shop and moved and the invoice he gave me just said roller lifters. No make or part number. For several days I searched all over the internet trying to find a replacement, after all, the internet is supposed to know everything. I couldn’t even find the make based on the only marking on it. I called Summit Racing sales and technical assistant and they could offer no assistance. I then took the lifter to a parts store and they couldn’t help but recommended an old school engine builder in the area in the hopes that he might be able to help identify the lifter. After getting with him he also couldn’t help but recommended I call Harry at Performance Auto Supply.
It was critical that I find this lifter as, if I couldn’t, not only would I be buying a complete new set of lifters when these had less than five miles on them for anotherl $450, I’d already ordered the new pushrods to maintain the proper roller rocker/valve geometry based on these lifters.
So, here I am after a week and a half of doing everything I could to find a replacement. I called Performance Auto Supply to verify Henry was working and took off work early to get to their shop.
When I walked in Harry came up from the back and I told him my story. Then he and one of his staff proceeded to pour through all of the lifters in their computer system looking for a match. They eventually found what looked like a match and broke out the calipers to verify all of the dimensions where the same (turns out the only number on it was just the date stamp it was manufactured. My internet searching had been a wild goose chase). I told him I understood a single pair would cost as manufacturers don’t sell pairs at 1/8th the cost of a set and there would be shipping and a markup and I was fine with that. It was a special order so Harry called the manufacturer to verify it was indeed the correct lifter and that I could get a single pair. After verifying it was the correct part the manufacturer said they don’t sell direct so they gave Harry a reseller that sells their products. Harry called the reseller then handed the phone to me to order it directly from them and have it shipped to my house. After I hung up Harry said the additional costs to have it shipped to him and then have me drive a half hour again to pick it up just couldn’t be justified. All in all Harry and his staff spent about a half hour working with me for no compensation saving me not only the hundreds of dollars I would have had to spend for a complete new set but also additional shipping and markup costs for the single pair of lifters had they been shipped to him first. This is not the level of service we’ve come to expect and certainly not the level of expertise and service you get from the “big box” stores of the internet. Harry and his guys not only saved the day without taking advantage of me, which they could have easily done as I was stuck, they helped me at no cost.
On a side note; being somewhat of a motor head afterwards I got to talking with him about racing, race engines and his experience building engines for NHRA and NASCAR as well has his experiences racing over the last 40 years. He took me through his shop in the back where he has a full engine machine shop with an engine dyno and showed me some of his custom builds and projects. Sure wish I’d know about Harry and his shop when I started this project….
In the end I insisted he accept $50. Harry and his staff helped me where no one else could and did it with no expectation of compensation.

Terrible service sit there and chit chat with customers about non business stuff while there’s a line of customers and can’t help you look for what you need wouldn’t do business here again

I bought a 350 turbo transmission. Thinking it was rebuilt and I only had it for 3 months and on the third month I put it in and the. Front pump went out and they said it was my fault. And the charged me 125 for a front pump and. They just gave me a new one and that one is leaking from every seal. On the put side and the pan that was on it. Had a hole smh. Took it to a transmission shop and they told me. They didn't rebuild anything just painted. Smh. Very un happy with the deal I got

I guess they did good machine work but they took longer than what they told me it would take because another customer came in with more money. Also they left a freeze plug jingling around in my block that they didn't tell me about. It took me 2 hours to fish it out. And imagine the damage it could've cause if I didn't notice it was in ther

Whatever you do, do not go here! Harry, the owner, kept my uncle's car for months and did not fix it. He, then, demanded $5,000, from my uncle, in cash, to get his car back. My uncle saved for two years to get his mustang fixed. It is now at another shop to get repaired. Stay far away from this unethical "repair shop".
