Oh it was amazing, I mean I've always gone here but he always does fantastic work! He was quick too, my alternator went out over the weekend and I was fortunate enough to get my car back by Monday evening! It was also very affordable as far as car repairs go. Seriously, the most trustworthy guy I've ever been to! read more

Friendly, honest and reliable, exactly what I was looking for. Dave has been the best. I was looking for an auto shop for my daughter who moved to Fort Wayne for college. I feel very comfortable sending her to Summit City. read more

Dave attended us with professionalism, efficiency and care. He was knowledgeable and patiently explained while demonstrating the issue my vehicle was having. We needed to order a caliper which came fast, that same day and did my brakes quickly and got us back on the road. I'm going back to get an oil change. He even gifted us a little plant. read more

Thanks for taking good care of my son's sudden need for assistance in today's icy cold conditions. Your service technician didn't have to cross the street to the credit union to jump his car, but he did. Didn't have to get his vehicle into the shop immediately to check for issues, but you did. Didn't have to install a battery purchased elsewhere, but you did. You took good care of a young man with little car-service experience - friendly, ethical, respectful, promptly attentive, at a reasonable price; and all with helpful interaction to make it a good learning experience for him. Thank you! read more

The owner just sent this email to me: __________________________________ I am sorry that you had such a bad experience at my business. If you would call me at 260-482XXXX I would like to find out exactly what happened and who took care of your service and try to make it right. You have it wrong about the owner being a man, I am the owner and my name is Patricia Bxxxxxxxxxx and xxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx I would also like to find out about the employee that you said worked for Sears before working here because I don't have an employee here that looks like how you described this employee. Again, I like my customer's to have a pleasant car repair experience and do not tolerate employee's installing parts on vehicles without approval so give me a call and I will see what I can do to resolve your bad experience with my business. ______________________________________________________ I called her up, and the owner found my service records on one of her old computer systems. She was able to tell me that the year that my van was serviced. It was the year 2000! She bought the business in 2002. The mechanic was not there at that time! Sears Corporation will not give out a reference on its former employees. The threat of a lawsuit, telling people what kinds of things he did would have been grounds They did not know what kinds of things he did wile he worked there. All I had to do was to tell the owner to go over to the store, where he worked at, and have him was to ask the automotive employees for a reference on him. This would have gotten my money back, and he would have been terminated. You may not know it by looking at me, but I donate monthly to the Fort Wayne Rescue Mission. And this was the way I used to look at him. He did have one friend though, "Scott O". When I first started working at Sears, I would hear stories about "Scott". Thinking it was some sort of a shop joke? The time he misdiagnosed "battery, alternator, or starter" problems, and was not allowed to do that anymore. Or the time he took a pressurized grease gun. And started filling up a front rack ball joint. One of the mechanics told him it was full of grease, and he should stop. He didn't, it exploded, and Sears ended up replacing it. Finally the act that got "Scott" fired. He was operating a tire-changing machine. One of the bars used flipped up and hit him in the chest, breaking one rib. Sears had to pay for an ambulance to drive him to the hospital. About a week and a half later, they called up the hospital. Since he was being paid for being off. And they found out that he wasn't in the hospital. "Scott" got terminated. About a month later "Scott" got a better job, at Tomkinson Dodge on Illinois road. He drove a car up on a rack, lifted it up. The car rolled half way off I think both employees had the same skill level. *NOTE* Yes I would take my car there. It is a better choice than any Midis muffler shop, Tuffy auto, or especially a Jiffy Lube. These places tend to hire unskilled people, (Like the two described in my review).Or have a high turn over rate! read more

See all

Great place to get honest work done. Never disappointed with the quality or price of work done on my vehicle.

I wouldn't take your vehicle for service here. I took my car in for a diagnostic for why the check engine light was on. I was told it was the spark plugs and air filter causing the car to start hard. I agreed to fix that, but they also said I needed several other parts replaced. I agreed because the car only needed spark plugs to start starting for me. Picked the car up, check engine still on, within 2 nd start the car was doing the very same thing I took it in for repair. $654.00 and my car is still doing the very same thing. They don't know how to read codes as to what's wrong with a vehicle. read more

Summit City Car Care is honest, fairly priced, and knowledgeable with every vehicle I have brought in. I have been taking my cars there since I moved to the area in 2007. I got tired of dropping over a hundred bucks every time I took my car in for an oil change at the dealer. Thankfully, I found Summit City Car Care and went in for an oil change and tire rotation special, I was so impressed that I have never felt the need to take my vehicles anywhere else. What I love the most about the shop is that I can trust the people working on my cars. There have been many times when Jim would show me what was wrong and how it needed to be fixed. There were a number of times I would ask him if this was something he thought I could take care of and if it was he would explain what I needed to do and even help with the part numbers that I needed to order! I have even brought in cars that I was looking to buy and he would look them over and give me his opinion of the vehicle telling me what he saw that might go wrong in the near future and actually help me avoid getting a lemon! Their prices are fair and I love that the shop feels like a car repair place! They have a clean lobby but there are no fancy leather couches or Keurig coffee makers with doughnuts, because its a car shop not a resort! I have never once felt ripped off, slighted, or misguided. Summit City Care Car has always taken care of my vehicles with great service at a fair price. read more

I am a local and have been using this establishment for many years. Had my vehicles in their shop at least a half dozen times, and am always grateful they are in my neighborhood. I have NEVER had a problem with any of their service, and intend to make another appointment today for a leaky radiator. My neighbor was having trouble with his truck engine vibrating an I suggested he visit their shop. They located a bad coil on one of his spark plugs and had him fixed in minutes. read more

I have taken my car to Summit City three times now. They have always called me as they found things that needed to be, or should be done that I wasn't expecting when I took the car in, and were very good at explaining and recommending what could wait if I didn't want things done at that time. Their service is very quick and everyone has been cheerful and friendly! read more

DO NOT TAKE YOUR CAR HERE!!! They will rip you off and not even attempt to make it right. I took in my car and paid them over $500 and they didn't fix it. They took it back twice and still couldn't fix it. They acted like what they did was the problem and wouldn't give me my money back. My car is still having the same problems and they won't fix it. TERRIBLE PLACE TO GO!!! read more
