Even when she's not working, she goes above and beyond to ensure I get the information and support I need. As a manager, she is incredibly kind, professional, and genuinely committed to providing the best customer experience possible.I also want to recognize Alfan for his outstanding technical knowledge and assistance. He always takes the time to understand the job I'm working on and makes sure I'm selecting the right tool for the task. His expertise has saved me both time and money, and he consistently recommends high-quality solutions at very reasonable prices.Together, Raha and Alfan make an incredible team. Their customer service, product knowledge, and willingness to help are second to none. I highly recommend asking for either of them when visiting Summit Tools.

“I was able to locate the part that I needed online and when I called to confirm stock, I was given excellent service! Not only did they help confirm that they had the part, but they also put it on hold for me as they only had one left. When I went to pick up, I was helped immediately and was able to get in and out of there very efficiently. Andrew Sheret is a great source for all plumbing needs. They have great customer service and a full range of parts at reasonable pricing.”
“New address - unit 122, 1551 broadway avenue, Port Coquitlam Breakers, Panels, plastic boxes, Marette, Smoke alarms, baseboard heaters, connectors, receptacles- and a lot. One stop solution for retail and bulk orders at lesser price.”
“I strongly recommend this place for buying plumbing supplies. Jin and Steven were very knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. Would recommend and come back this store again.”
“Out of way location for some just shopping and looking for help and advice. I wasn't disappointed! The fellow that looked after me was quiet, respectful even though I was obviously didn't know much about plumbing. He listened, assessed and disappeared for a few minutes with what I needed. Then gave me some hints that saved me money even though I had to go to a competitor. Very impressive!”
