My car was a candidate for a natural wonder of the automotive world with both third and fourth gear gone. I was expecting to be slammed with additional repairs, and I was tremendously glad to find that Jerry and Sandy were my allies. They solved every issue that came to mind, whether getting me to work that first day (got a ride to the trolley station), or a car rental (Jerry gave me a contact number for a place with competitive rates on a very busy weekend), or even payment solutions, I was aided every step of the way.

I had a transmission worry that Summit checked out for free. They thought I might have a problem and also found that the car was still covered by a warrantee. Then they sent me to a dealer so the problem would be covered. They were efficient and very helpful and honest. I will return to them with any future transmission problems.
I believe I have a new mechanic. I just got my car back today and man!! She runs like brand new!! The noise from the bad bearing is gone, the clutch pedal is nice and springy and my engine is nice and quiet. What a huge difference! My poor car was running pretty bad. I fixed what I could in the engine, but since I don't mess with transmissions, I took it to Jerry. He gave me an honest assessment not just of my transmission situation, but of the overall health of my car. The valuable information he gave me will enable me to p... read more
Responsive, competent and personal service. Quite unlike the typical experience at a dealership or large chain shop.
I own a restored 1969 Mustang with extensive high performance modifications. I was having occasional problems shifting the TREMEC 5-speed manual transmission into first, third and fifth gears....everything "above" neutral. The speed shop I usually frequent gave up after a few tries at fixing the problem and suggested I give SUMMIT TRANSMISSIONS an opportunity to affect the repairs. I called the shop and Jerry patiently gave me some specific symptoms to look for while driving the car to better enable him to diagnose the trans... read more
I took my Astro Van to Jerry because my mechanic said my transmission was slipping. Jerry correctly diagnosed that the problem was fuel system related, not the transmission and saved me $3000. For people of high integrity and trust, there's none better.
Jerry, the owner, of Summit Transmissions personifies honesty, integrity, and expertise. I know very little about cars and when I had a problem with my tranmission he was highly recommended. He explained everything to me in terms that I could understand. He gave me a few options and time to make a decision based on all the facts. He rebuilt my 92 Mitsubishi transmission and even gave me a two year warranty. When a problem arose right before the warranty period expired he immediately took care of it with no question and no ch... read more
I've been using Summit since 2003 and I am a satisfied customer. Out of the three times I took my truck in, two times there was no charge because it was either not a problem or it was an engine problem (which was alleviated by a $9 fuel additive that Jerry recommended I buy at an auto parts store). Everything gets explained to me and I always leave with a better understanding of my truck and how to care for it. This shop is in the business of fixing transmissions, they do a great job, and go the extra mile.
As a former school bus mechanic, I feel qualified to evaluate this as an exceptional shop. Jerry completed the work quickly, and like their business card states, they only fixed what needed to be fixed. The problem with my Subaru was misdiagnosed by another shop, but Jerry pinpointed the noise and was articulate in explaining the work he planned to do fix it. My word, I could have been "taken to the cleaners"! How wonderful it is to find a mechanic with his level of integrity and customer service.
