When Ray and his friend were on their way from New York to Savanna, GA, a service light appeared on the dash of Ray’s newly purchased BMW X3. Ray’s not that familiar with cars, and was concerned that his car may be in need of repair, or worse, could leave them stranded in the middle of the night. Ray called our shop 5:50 PM, and even though we normally close at 6, asked him to swing by, and that we’d be happy to stay open to get him back on the road ASAP.

Ray arrived shortly after 6 PM, and met with our service advisor, and 3 of our dedicated technicians who had volunteered to stay after hours to make sure our customers were cared for. After a quick inspection and a diagnostic scan, it was determined that the light Ray was concerned with was simply the oil life indicator, and his car was only in need of an oil change.

The moral to this story? It’s a common stigma in the automotive industry; a distressed driver on the side of the road over pays for common repair service, or is charged for services that weren’t needed. This isn’t the way that things are done at Heads Up. Ray was thrilled to find that he was not in for a huge repair bill, and the Heads Up Team was delighted that we were able to have another satisfied, yet distant customer!

Heads Up Motorsports is your BMW, VW, and Audi service authority!!
When his BMW began to over heat, Marc brought us his 2002 BMW X5. Marc’s cooling system was riddled with leaks, and in bad need of repair. We replaced the radiator, water pump, and radiator expansion tank.


After Renee had some issues with her 1998 Audi A6, she had us tow it to the shop. We diagnosed the issue as a broken timing belt. When the timing belt breaks on an interference engine, the valves often come in contact with the pistons, and cause lots of damage. We deal with this type of damage all the time, and our techs got right to work on it. This is a huge job, and requires that both Cylinder heads be removed, along with the front end of the car.

Hayes brought his 2004 BMW M3 to the shop for several repairs. His Passenger side window regulator was inoperative, and in need of repair. Since Hayes knew that we were the go to guys for BMW performance, he also had us install a set of high performance brake pads and rotors while the car was on the lift!

Heads Up Motorsports is not only great at repairs and maintenance, but we’re your European performance center too! Our techs are among the best in the industry, and completely understand how a performance car should be cared for, upgraded, and modified. With our in house chassis dyno, we’re also able to offer a level of expertise and accuracy that no other shop in the area can equal.
Barry brought us his 2011 BMW M3 for a performance exhaust install. While Barry is very happy with his M3’s performance, he felt that his car lacked the “growl” that he needed. We were more than happy to take care of Barry’s needs, and suggested Innotech Performance’s Valvetronic Exhaust. This exhaust will give Barry the powerful “growl” that he was looking for, and at the touch of a button on the wireless remote, return the car back to a civilized “purr”.
Here are a few pics from the install:
Every Innotech Exhaust is individually labeled, along with a serial number. We pride ourselves in only providing the highest quality parts and installation, and Innotech is a brand that we’re proud to install.

At this time of the year as the temperature starts to drop the leading cause of break downs and major vehicle damage is due to poor quality coolant or even worse no coolant!
With this in mind at Heads Up Motorsports we believe strongly in preventative maintenance, so to help our customers stay safe this winter we will be offering coolant flushes for the low price of $59.95.
This is quite possibly the lowest price around for a complete professional coolant flush that could not just save you the inconvenience of braking down but the high cost of a major repair.
So stop by or call today to take advantage of this great offer and remember Heads Up Motorsports is Spartanburg’s dealer alternative for all your foreign or domestic servicing and repairs.
