Summit Racing to open a TX location

More specifically, Dallas. Which is still cool, but not exactly close enough to pop by on a lazy Saturday if you live in Houston. Dammit.

There's a location 10 minutes from me. I've given it 3 chances. I don't own or have never owned an American car, and I'm under 30. Every experience I had tells me I'm not their target audience. If I am, they suck at customer service. I could see it being nice for having fluids locally, but I'm quite content just ordering online and keeping my money from them.

I'm almost 35 and I agree with you.

Could be nice for getting things like hoses and fittings on short notice, for those of us here in DFW.

I'll be in South Arlington, 360 and I-20. So almost to Houston...

If I still had my blazers or malibus, I'd be more in their target market. Do still want one of each so maybe.

I've spent a ton of money at summit over the years. It was nice when I lived back home in Ohio, the shipping was super fast. OK one two or so hours from Dallas now so I expect it to be just as fast. If I ever own a car again that is.

Got my first credit card ever back in '81 just so I could order from Summit. Order from the catalog over the phone back then. Tech Line was a plus too. Spent a lotta dinero there over the years. Fast shipping and never a problem. No projects lately tho. Glad to see they're doin' good.
