BMW Service and Repair

BMW makes a world class automobile, and superior cars demand service and repair that just any shop can’t provide.  At Heads Up Motorsports, our technicians are familiar with European automobiles, what makes them work, and the services that they require to keep them in perfect condition.  Here is a little taste of what we’re doing today:

Mike brought us his BMW 745i.  He’s been having several transmission related issues.  We were able to narrow his problems down to a few small leaks, which over time have caused some issues.  We’re changing the seals in Mike’s transmission, the pan gasket, and filling it with OEM BMW fluid.

Mary brought us her 2004 BMW 530i for the BMW Schedule II inspection. We’re changing all of her filters, spark plugs, and oil.

Why is preventative maintenance important?

“My timing belt is due for service, but it can wait”. “I bought this car because my friend says they’ll run forever”. “Mechanics only recommend changing parts to make money”. Ever heard these types of comments?

They should have read: ” I enjoy walking” or “I wanted to spend extra money on repairing my car”.

After this Audi owner neglected to take care of his timing belt, he’s ended up with 14 bent valves and nearly a $3000 repair bill. Give us a call to schedule your next maintenance appointment today!

Need VW and Audi Repair? We’ve got you covered!

Heads Up Motorsports is your Upstate VW, Audi and BMW repair center.  Here are just a couple of the jobs that are in the shop today:

Alfredo brought us his 1998 Audi A6 for repair.  The timing belt had broken and several of the valves are bent.  Off with the heads!

Here is the bottom of the cylinder heads.  Notice that the valves on the center cylinder are not seated, causing the engine to run poorly.

Matthew brought his 1999 VW Passat in for repair.  After his car lost power, he had us tow the car in.  We’ve been able to diagnose the problem as a faulty throttle control valve, and we’ll have him back on the road tomorrow!

Something Old, Something new….

Heads Up Motors is your repair and maintenance headquarters.  Any make, any model, we’re your alternative to the dealer!!

When Steva’s BMW needs service, she brings it to Heads Up!  She understands that quality cars require quality parts and service, so she opts for the best shop available.  We use either OEM supplied parts,  or the best quality aftermarket parts on all of the cars that we work with.  This time, Steva’s car was in need of a simple oil and filter change, and our complimentary vehicle inspection.

Can we fix it?  Yes we can.

Moriah brought us her 1971 VW Beetle.  Her car was running poorly, and in bad need of repair.  We’ve installed a new carburetor, repaired the wiring to the voltage regulator, and now the car is in tip-top running condition.

Another day on the Grind!!

Peggy brought us her VW Passat GLX 4Motion.  Peggy had noticed several small “puddles” of oil on her driveway, and wanted to have those taken care of.  We’ve diagnosed the issue as a faulty transmission electrical connector seal, which is a quick and simple repair.  We’ll have Peggy back on the road in no time.

Chris’ BMW M3 is in the shop today.  He’s brought the car in for several small issues, including a “clunk” in the rear end.  We’ll be installing a set of solid rear differential bushings, for a more sporty feel.
