In the price comparison I've done on equal parts, I find jegs to be $0.05 cheaper than summit. With that said, I've only ordered from summit because the search function of the site is much better as well as the information given. Worth 5c to me. So far I've mostly looked for fuel line fittings, gauges and the related.

Have used both with good results but the larger percentage goes to Summit.

My vote is for Summit.

Haven't used Jegs but I have made a lot of orders through Summit and every order has been sent out on time and arrived perfectly, at a good price. Plus I love it that they show if an item is in stock and ready to ship on their website, I wish every vendor could do that!

Perzactly

I've used both as well and never had a problem with the actual goods from either. The Summit site however is much easier to navigate and search and it gives you so much more information.

I've actually found products on the Jegs site through searches that were unreachable through the tree navigation pane. go figure!

Jegs is the only place that had all the hydroboost fittings for me. Prices are really close.

Six of one and a half-dozen of the other. They're both excellent in my experience. Each does carry items the other doesn't so sometimes that makes the difference.

For the most I use Summit...if no other reason they usually deliver a day quicker than Jegs. I must be in a delivery area closer to their distribution center.

If you're in Southern CA, Summit get you the parts next day from Nevada, tax free. Always found Jegs to be slower but good service from both companies.

I've used both, with no problems with either. Usually decide based on price, availability, & shipping time.

Usually buy from Summit

I have used both. Service has been great from both of them. I got my crate motor from Summit. Jegs had a better price and Summit matched it. I bought it from Summit because they are closer and I could go pick it up.

Most of the things I've ordered for my cars come from Summit. I don't know, but I think that Summit has better prices than Jegs, I always compare between those two and find that Summit has the cheapest price, plus I get my parts the next day since I'm in Oakland, Ca and their in Nevada. I have ordered from Jegs and they do have good prices on some things, but most of the times I find that Summit has the best prices.

Summit all the way. Jegs is OK too. But much slower in filling an order. My experiences with Summit have all been great. I've donated about $300.00 to them lately.

I've spent thousands at Jegs and every time it's been easy to find what I was looking for and the shipping has always been quick (and I've only used the standard ground shipping). I really doubt there's much difference between the two, it's just I started with Jegs and never had problems, so I've stayed.
