A Hidden Gem for Honest and Professional Auto Care A family friend recommended Summit Automotive, praising their fair pricing and transparent service. I finally decided to visit on Monday, June 16th, to have a worn spark plug replaced--I'm so glad I did. From the very first phone call, I was impressed. Jon, the service advisor, was friendly, clear, and professional. He took the time to explain everything in detail, including letting me know that their technicians would be taking lunch at noon--so I could plan my visit to avoid unnecessary waiting. That kind of thoughtfulness already set the tone for a great experience. They do not have a fancy waiting area nor a beautiful building facade or multiple choices of beverages but they have the best customer service, pricing and quality assurance of their work. From the outside, the building looks insight or unlikely but this is a total hidden gem on Bandera road. This is my new place for all my car's service and maintenance needs. read more

I went in on a whim to get my door looked at because it had problems staying closed and would even not lock because it always thought the door was open. I went in fully prepared to wait a couple hours and pay a couple hundred bucks. Anthony, at the front desk, came and looked at my car and fixed it in less than 2 minutes. When I told him I'd like to at least pay the diagnostic fee to show him appreciation for his time and expertise he declined. Now a days customer service is not what it use to be and Anthony just completely turned that around in less than 2 minutes. I am very grateful and will recommend Summit to everyone. Thank you!! read more

I really appreciate Jonathan's great customer service he provided, I brought my vehicle for the warranty repair, he listened to my concerns and helped to fix the issues with water pump. To my surprise he also replaced my broken door handler free of charge. Thank you very much for your extra service. This auto shop is a great place for your auto care and repairs. I strongly recommend it to anyone who needs their vehicles service or repairs. Not only it's price is very competitive, but also the quality of work is excellent plus great customers service. Jonathan I want to thank you again for your excellent service. Jiyuan Mao, a happy customer because of you read more

Took my car to fix intake, all was loose, hose wasn't even installed. It seemed like it was just placed in place. Please don't t make the mistake I made by going there. They probably judged my car and said " why fix this pos" . It's my pos and Summit charged me 3600 for repairs that weren't done correctly. read more

Anthony was super helpful, kind and understanding. He took care of making sure our car was ready for a road trip. I truly appreciate working with him. Thank you read more

Summit Automotive has been the best!!!! We found Summit Automotive thru a coupon offer in 2012. All of our cars have been serviced here since. (A God send.) They are honest- they don't up-sell anything that's not necessary. Chad has been easy to deal with thru the years. All the service advisers have been kind and give discounts as needed. (Healthcare- police-military) The mechanics working on them know what they're doing!!! My son recently drove his car down from Temple TX after a $3K quote at a reputable car place there- we dropped off at Summit and it was a fix that was a lot less. And that component just needed tightened not replaced. New shocks- struts and drives like new. Summit Automotive is our car fix SuperHeroes again. Thank you Summit Automotive for being there for us. read more

Ask for Anthony!! I would highly recommend Summit Automotive! It is hard to find a shop that is honest and offers great pricing. (Almost 40% less labor costs than next door!!). Anthony went above and beyond with making sure our family was taken care of with time management and his exceptional customer service. This shop does not try and uptick you. They focus on the problem at hand and make sure you feel heard of any other issues. Anthony and your team thank you for service! read more

I came here for a breathalyzer removal. I called the company of the breathalyzer to set up the appointment and they said they took care of it. I get here and no appointment was scheduled, it's a FOUR hour drive for me. Anthony was extremely understanding and also up front stating that they could still do it but because of workload maybe a few hours. I understood. I was then sitting in the lobby like a sad boy who just lost his puppy after finding out all this information, it was maybe 30 minutes later that Anthony comes and tells me it's all done!! I honestly would trust these guys with my kid. Broken leg? Summit automotive. I'm being facetious but seriously this place is very understanding, and work quickly to resolve any issues. read more

I've been going to Summit for six years and have always had excellent service. I recently had my brakes replaced on all four wheels and Anthony was very conscientious in ensuring the job was done correctly. I feel very comfortable taking any of my vehicles for diagnosis and repair here. They are friendly and make me feel at home. read more

Great service! Always very friendly and quick service, very honest about what's going on with your car and price is always reasonable! Thank you Anthony and Nate! read more

By far the best , Honest business around I have been coming here for years and totally recommend Summit.

Great service and real flexible with what you can afford and need. They don't try to over do anything and find "problems" they are direct and are willing to even show you the issue in person so you can confirm. read more

Went in to get my brakes replaced and got told by the service advisor that I need a whole new radiator and cooling hoses. But when I take a look in my rad I don't see anything just my green coolant but the guy was trying to say there's rust. I decided to do a coolant flush at home to see if he was telling the truth about stuff being in my coolant but there wasn't, it was as clean as can be even if there was stuff in my radiator it could've just been flushed. They like to prey on people that don't know. Never go to this place they just upsell and they're untrustworthy read more

Shout out to Summit Automotive for being a solid, honest, reputable auto repair shop! They never try to sell you something not needed, provide excellent service & even replaced a defective oil filter with a bad seal that started leaking 3 months later at no charge! Highly recommend them! read more

Great service. Very Reliable. I use Summit primarily for my Class C motor home. They do great work at reasonable prices. I had a problem arise with a belt they replaced just as I arrived in Bandera,TX. Though it was 30 miles from their place of business, a mechanic was sent to my location to fix the issue. Absolutely amazing customer service. read more

Summit Automotive worked tirelessly to figure out what was going on with our truck. Glad we found them and will continue to use them in the future. read more

We have a 2013 Mazda 6, and we happened to get a letter in the mail for a recall on the passenger side airbag so we took our car to the Mazda dealership off 410 to have it fixed. Next time we're just not going to take it in. They tried to upsell us on a new battery we didn't need (seriously, only here for the recall on airbags) and as soon as we left he dealership our check engine light was on. There was no way we were going to give our business to the dealership after that experience for this repair (they charged us $80 for the diagnoses and quoted us $1600 for labor/repairs), so we headed over to summit. We dropped our car off and picked it up the next day- grand total of $600. They weren't overly friendly but obviously are very fair and prompt, so they will be receiving our business for any future issues. read more

Something has changed with Summit Auto. Recently both cars went in for regular oil changes. On both cases Summit auto up sold us. What gives Summit? Did you really have to sell my wife a 450$ battery? So, I'd be very cautious with them moving forward. read more

I have been bringing my Father's 87 Camaro here for tune up whenever needed. My father brought it here before passing, and they have been servicing it since my Father bought it when I was a young kid. They aren't the friendliest but they're honest and hard working. Never had an issue with them. read more

2 minutes ago Simple and easy to bring in your own parts. Customer servise is good and very helpful. Resonable pricing. I'll deffelently will be returning read more

So I broke some U joints (whatever those are). I took my car back to Summit and was SHOCKED at how reasonable the repair cost! They also checked work they had done previously - my starter and valve gaskets - and repaired them at NO COST even though they were "just" out of warranty. They've helped my car get to 144,000! Love these people! read more

No stars for this place but Yelp doesn't allow it. We reserved a uhaul and when we got there it was double booked and not available! Asked if they would call the customer that had the our Uhaul to see when they are returning and they said they couldn't do that. No other options were given. Horrible customer service, no help! We drove to uhaul on bandera and Eckert location for truck. Don't rent a uhaul from this place!! read more

These guys are very respectful and always do a great job. I'm always happy with my routined maintenance.

I've been driving for a solid 20 years and have needed my fair share of tires that needed repair. I've never had to give my address, phone number, VIN, and pay almost $20 to have a flat fixed. I only came here because it is close by and I wanted to check it out. Never again! read more

BEWARE: Dishonest. Took my car in to have a 'check engine' light diagnosed. Calls me and tells me the 'problem' , quotes well over $700, and informs me that given my mileage, I should also add an injector flush service, which would get the bill closer to $1000. I told him I would go get a second opinion and quickly went to pick up my vehicle. Somehow in the 15 minutes I it took me to get there, the price started dropping due to their finding the parts cheaper (unlikely story). Also, if you're going to recommend scheduled maintenance, you shouldn't assume I'm ignorant, because I have an owners' manual AND the manufacturer sends reminders of what maintenance is ACTUALLY required. No, thanks anyway Mr. Mitchell, I gave you one opportunity to earn a new customer, but you decided to make me a warning of your unethical business practices instead read more

Great place to take your car fix. I've been taking my cars for the past 15 years to them. Eddie has a lot of knowledge and will treat you right. read more

They are scammers! They charged me a lot of money and never fixed the noises that my car was making. Customer service was ok but the mechanics have no idea what they are doing. read more

Awesome shop. The guys are friendly and knowledgeable. They fixed my coolant leak quickly and got me back on the road

Had some major work done to my 10-year old Saturn. Ed was very helpful and explained everything that needed to be done. The repairs were done quickly and the cost was very reasonable. I will definitely be coming back to Summit whenever my car needs service. read more

Service has greatly declined since the owner retired. This past year I have taken my vehicle here for repairs, only to find that the needed repairs are never done right the first time, or it takes them 3 days to do a job that should only take a few hours. Communication is horrendous. They don't call you to tell you the status of your vehicle....you have to hound them. If you don't call...they won't, so your car sits longer. I have referred many people to this business only to find out recently that they have had similar issues as well. It's unfortunate. This used to be the local go to auto mechanic shop that you could trust for good, competent, quality work. No more. Need to find a new mechanic. Any recommendations? read more

Scam artists. When you go to Autozone or Advanced AP, they'll hook up their diagnostic box to your car and run the codes for free. I took my car here cause the check engine light came on and they basically charged me $50 to 'diagnose' the issue. I've talked to other people that went here and were incredibly disappointed with their pricing/service. STAY AWAY. read more

Recently came back to Summit to get my oil changed. The guys were nice enough to inform me I will need new brakes in the near future. They let me know how much longer I can get out of them before needing to replace. Its nice since I am a younger girl and sometimes am worried I am getting walked over, but not here. I feel very comfortable. read more

I wouldnt go her for anything! Bad bad bad. I've heard other say so as well. Go elsewhere. Customer service is poor! read more

$670 to replace an alternator? Seriously? I'm having the same repair done somewhere else for half the price! This place will overcharge for minor repairs and cannot be trusted. They will add useless diagnostic fees and any other excuse available to bring up the price. I only tried them because they're nearby but regret my decision. You've been warned! read more

Great service. This is one of the few places I feel confident with the work that is done. They don't try to rip you off.

Fantastic!!! I really can't be more pleased with the service I received at Summit. From the first phone call to the keys back in my hands I was just SUPER impressed with the courtesy, respect & detailed explanation the guys provided. I'll never use another 'quicky' service again. I expected they would have my truck over the weekend but they got it back to me in just a couple hours. That. Is. Incredible! I have taken my vehicles to the place next door & it was nowhere near the level of excellence I experienced here. Keep up the good work guys!! See you at the next 3k read more

Been going there for 6 or 7 years. Have no complaints. Have gotten second opinions and the 2nd opinion was more than quoted. Most vehicles have a 3 to 6 thousand mile oil change requirement. Some have 10 thousand. So checking your owners manual is a must if you have any questions. My hybrid still needs 3 to 4 month checks to ensure belts and hoses are do not need to be replaced. In the 30 years I have been back to San Antonio, this is one of the best of the 3 I have utilized. The other 2 either moved or found another opportunity. God Bless and keep you safe. read more

I just spoke to Chad about repairing my old car. He was patient and very informative. I have high hopes that I have found a reliable mechanic. I'll post an update after repairs are completed. read more
