Brian Pahnke was such a good guy to deal with while buying my first true sports car. He listened to me and provided everything I needed to feel confident about making a 4 hour drive from Illinois to Fond Du Lac in Wisconsin. They accepted my trade in at the value we discussed without any problems. Dave Reilly was a great business and finance manager, the whole team was great. Easiest time I have ever bought a car. Would recommend Brian and his team to anyone interested in buying a new or used car. The new car to me is fitting ... Read More

John was great to deal with. Unfortunately I had 10 out of 10 loose lug nuts. Was told by shop Forman that it was because the truck had a lot of corrosion between brake rotor and wheel. If so I believe the tech working on the truck should have seen this and corrected it before replacing the wheels. This situation could have been extremely dangerous. I believe these lugs were not torque properly. The truck was driven 90 miles and brought back to dealership.

One of the best dealership experiences I've had. From the GM down through sales and finance this dealer makes you feel welcome and wanted. They didn't have the exact vehicles I wanted this time so we ordered one and they traded another dealer for the other to make it happen. As I write this they are working on tracking down another very specific Wrangler for me on what will be my 4th purchase with them. I shop my vehicles and my trade ins to be as educated as possible when buying, selling and or trading in. Summit is ... Read More

We saw our next vehicle on a Sunday. Like many we Sunday stalk when looking for a vehicle because it’s easier not to deal with the “hassle.” It seemed the vehicle was just traded in, and she was exactly what we were looking for. We placed an online inquiry in, and called after opening on Monday. We were given to Aaron Mandel, new to Summit auto, and he was EXACTLY what we needed to commit to the purchase. He was transparent, a great resource, and dealt with the MANY inquiries texted throughout the process. We never felt a bother, ... Read More

My experience was ok. My trade in was valued at what I hoped it would be, I paid cash for the remainder so a little less paperwork. This is my second purchase from Summit and the reason I came back was because of my first experience, my second experience wouldn’t make me come back a third time. Logan was my sales person and he was pleasant & professional, but noticeably absent when I finished the paperwork and I never heard from him again. David decided it was ok to share his opinion with me that he didn’t understand ... Read More

Summit Automotive and Eric Agnew were great to work with! I had limited time so they made the process simple and as fast as they were able! With zero pushback, they brought in a vehicle from a satellite location for me to test ride while there. I ended up purchasing the truck they brought in. This was a hassle for them as it was an unknown as to whether i would even purchase a vehicle that day. I could not have asked for a better transaction. They were great to work with!

Though these people were freindly and quick to respond, they are like any other dealership in that they want as much of your money with as little effort as possible. This was evident by the effort by me to get the best trade values for my trade in vehicles in which they were willing to provide lower than KBB values. Also, there were noted items that were greatly underpar from the detail department that I specifically called out to Chris during the test drive that were never looked at or fixed when I received the vehicle.

He let me look at whatever however many times I needed to. After sale we had a slight communication problem due to telephone service, but he was sure quick and eager to try to correct the issue. Seems like they have some helpful salesman.
