Stacking Tips
Combine multiple discount types in a single transaction. These are the most effective stacking combinations at Summit Racing.
Mega Sale + Summit House Brand + Free Shipping
Summit Racing's best value stack: shopping during a Mega Sale event while selecting Summit Racing house brand parts (already 20-40% below branded alternatives) and hitting the $75 free shipping threshold creates compound savings that often exceed 40% below the branded equivalent retail price.
Price Match + Summit House Brand Comparison
Before finalizing any major parts purchase, compare Summit Racing pricing against Jegs and other competitors, then request a price match if lower. Also compare the matched price against Summit's own house brand on the same specification — sometimes the house brand is cheaper than the price-matched branded alternative.
Clearance Parts + Technical Research
Summit Racing's clearance section contains genuinely functional parts at significant discounts. Pairing clearance browsing with Summit's extensive technical content (fitment guides, buyer's guides) helps identify clearance parts that match your build without the risk of a non-fitting return.
Promo Code + Large Build Order
For major performance builds, compiling all needed parts into a single large order and applying an available promo code maximizes the code's percentage-off value on a larger total. One large order also clears the free shipping threshold more efficiently than multiple smaller orders.
Price Match Policy
Summit Racing's price match guarantee lets you claim a lower price from qualifying competitors — both at the time of purchase and up to 14 days after. Knowing the rules can save you from overpaying on big-ticket items.
Competitor Price Match
Summit Racing matches prices from major performance parts competitors on identical in-stock items at time of purchase.
Online and Phone Match
Price match available for both online and phone orders. Have the competitor's current price and URL ready when requesting the match.
Post-Purchase Adjustment
Summit Racing may offer a price adjustment if a competitor's price drops on an identical item within a short window of your purchase. Contact customer service.
