We bought a car 6 years ago from this place. The owner bought it for us at an auction, told us…read morethat mechanics had checked out the car and that the car had a clean history. We are in the process of selling this car to buy another and were shocked when two dealerships have found clamp marks on the frame which means that the frame was bent in an accident and then fixed. A car fax report shows that directly before we bought the car it was in a wreck with frame damage reported and then sent to auction. We have been told that the clamp marks from where the frame was repaired are very obvious that any mechanic, appraiser or general car person could easily tell it has been in a wreck. We thought we asked all the right questions and were informed car buyers, so this has come as a shock. Not to mention that I have spent 6 years driving my family around in a vehicle that is potentially less safe if we had been a wreck. We thought we could trust this business. I would have never bought this car if we had know what should and could have been told to us. I would not buy a car from this place or recommend it to anyone else.

I bought my first car from Summit Auto Sales a few weeks ago. Not only was it the car I had been…read morelooking for but the price was much lower than others I had seen. After a test ride and a mechanical check I agreed to purchase the vehicle. After signing the papers the salesman took my new car over to the gas station and topped the tank off. A couple weeks later the car started making some funny noises with one of the belts. Even though I had signed an "AS IS NO WARRANTY" with Summit Auto I called them up and told them of the situation. The salesman I talked to was genuinely shocked I was having problems and he immediately called their mechanic and set up an appointment for my car. A few days later my car was in the shop and fixed at no expense to me whatsoever. I think they went way above and beyond in my situation and put in the extra effort when they were not even required to do so. I was very impressed and would purchase another vehicle from them again.

They had a Craigslist ad for a vehicle I was interested in. The ad didn't list hours and neither…read moredid their website. I was in town so I figured I'd swing by and check it out in person. There was nothing there that suggested they were closed; the gate was open and nothing was noticeably posted on the door, so I rang the bell at the office and left a message about wanting to check out the vehicle. Walking back to my car, the guy called out through the speaker to "get off the property" and then louder, "we're closed." It's fine to not want customers on the premises after hours, but when you don't advertise your hours well and then get angry at someone who shows up wanting to purchase a car, don't be surprised if you don't get much business. Post your hours better and get a secretary to deal with interpersonal stuff because you're clearly not very savvy in that regard.

On my RV tour around the United States, I found myself in Missoula Montana, 42k miles on the…read morecurrent transmission fluid ony class C RV. I also had some play in my front end and needed to get it checked out since I was about 2k miles from home and only halfway done with the trip. I called the local RV dealer and asked them where they take their gas class C RV for chassis work and was told that Transport Equipment was the place they use. It is tough to get service on a gas class C and that is the reason I called the big RV dealer and asked them for a recommendation.. I called Transport Equipment and sure enough, they service gas class C rv's. I made an appointment and met with the service writer in the morning. Handed themy key and went to their very nice "Drivers Lounge". The staff are friendly, but no one gives you updates as to what is going on, or an estimate on when it'll be complete. Pretty standard for auto service places, so not a big deal, until you are there for 8 hours. Here is the reason the the two stars. First of all, I needed bushings for the front end sway bar. The mechanic went to the parts house three times. Two times he got the wrong part, and the third time was a charm. I WAS CHARGED FOR HIS TIME, ON HIS SCREW UP. $200 an hour, I was charged 2.5 hours, I'm sure 1.5 hours was because he screwed up. The second reason for two stars is, the mechanic was in such a hurry (he was supposed to be off work at 1630hrs, so he did what anyone would do, rushed the job and did it poorly. I drove up the hill towards Kalispell, and the smoke from the rear of my motorhome looked like I was getting shotndown over the English Channel in WW2. The motorhome began to shake violently. I pulled over and looked under the coach. Transmission oil was spewing out of the pan area. I drove it back to Transport Equipment and spoke to "a guy". He told me that all of the techs "mechanics" have left for the day and I'd have to wait till tomorrow. I was stuck, I had to cancel reservations that I had at a cost to me, but I was able to park on the side of their building. (That god for generators). I was told they open at 0700hrs, and they'd get me in right away. 0700hrs arrived, I was at their service desk, they took it back in. Oh...the mechanic got in at 0800hrs, so back to the nice "Drivers Lounge" I went. UNTIL 1300HRS! Two days of travel lost, two reservations had to be cancelled at my cost, and starting RV travel so late in the day isn't a good thing. Come to find out, we waited for the mechanic to get the transmission fluid which had spewed out of the transmission due to it not being sealed right the first time. It was fixed, I went on the test drive with the service writer, and so far, so good. I asked for a brake inspection also (when I left it the first time). I was told the mechanic said the brakes were good. I asked how many 32nds were left on the pads. The mechanic did not note that, leaving me to believe that he didn't inspect them, yet, I was charged the time for the inspection. Brakes are not measured in percentages, it's 32nds. Any mechanic should give.you the 32nds of pad left. Bottom line is, if you use this place, get your own parts, get your own fluids, and prepare to have to stay two days either in their lot, or somewhere close. Did they offer me anything for their mechanic screwing up? Not a chance. Beware of this business. An emergency is an emergency. But if you find somewhere else a little more ethical, find it and go.

Justin was super nice and helpful. Once we got the rig there we ran for parts as their mechanic started working.
