Our goal is to provide you with a vehicle of extremely high quality at a great price and an easy, laid-back purchasing experience.

Our Vehicles:
While we sell cars of all calibers, we often specialize in cars that are unique, hard to find, and highly sought after. We specialize in European models from Audi, BMW, Jaguar, Land Rover, Mercedes-Benz, and Porsche. Every car that is sold from Godspeed Motors is backed by a combination of over 100 years of experience in the car industry. We have high expectations for every car we buy and sell. Our passion for quality is what ensures every buyer that he is getting what he pays for. We have sold thousands of cars and are very intentional about doing things the “right” way. We service our cars with integrity and feel very confident that Godspeed Motors has some of the nicest, well maintained, high quality cars out there. Every car gets a 120+ point inspection, an average of 10 hours of service, approximately $1,000 in repairs, and an average of 8 hours spent on detailing and reconditioning.

We offer great financing at extremely competitive rates and can work with many levels of credit. We work with many different banks and credit unions to ensure you have the best options available. We also offer extended warranties, gap insurance and additional products to meet your needs.
Our Facility:
We recently relocated to our new location at 11881 Vance Davis Dr Charlotte NC 28269. This building was purchased from BAM Foyt Racing and was previously used as a race shop for a 2 car Nascar team. We are currently remodeling our new 33,000 square foot facility with 3.5 acres. Our new location is located on the north side of Charlotte in the Twin Lakes business park alongside companies such as; Michelin Tires, Ingersoll Rand, and Wells Fargo. We are located directly off exit 23-C on 485 and we are less than 1 mile from I-77. When renovations are completed, it will include a full mechanic workshop, a body shop, a detail shop, a 4,000 square foot showroom, customer lounge, office space and over 20,000 square foot space for indoor car sales display. The 3,000 square foot heated/cooled mechanic shop includes all top of the line equipment, including; 5 Rotary lifts, a Hunter Revolution tire changer and road force balancer, state inspection machine, 20-ton press, engine and transmission stands and jacks, parts washer, brake lathe, Robin Air AC machine, and over $30,000 in diagnostic equipment. The body shop includes top of the line, German made, grade level down draft paint booth with a finishing bake cycle, a prep area with dust particle extraction system, and a PPG paint mixing station. Our detail shop consists of 2,400 total square feet, with a 3000-psi electric hot water pressure washer with in-ground oil/water separator, high temperature carpet cleaning extractors, and a steam cleaner. We are hoping to have all the renovations completed middle to late summer of 2018.

Our Beginning:
Matt Nietupski is 100% owner of Godspeed Motors, but a steward of everything God has given him. From a very young age, he was very passionate about cars. His free time in his younger years, was mostly spent wrenching on his different project race cars (including a 450hp turbo awd Eagle Talon, many M3’s, supercharged 800hp ZO6 corvette, and 1000hp 2JZGTE E-36 M3). He has been involved in drag racing, drifting, and road racing. He began working at a highline dealership straight out of high school as a lot boy/errand runner. Over a 7 year period, he worked his way up through the positions, including service, detail, sales and finally to general manager. Matt Nietupski started Godspeed Motors in March of 2008 when he was 24 years old, just before the economy crashed, with a total life savings of $30,000. The business began in Fort Mill SC, in a small 3,000 square foot warehouse with a 100 square foot office. The first several years were very trying and he came close to going out of business multiple times. Back then, Matt did most of the vehicle repairs and detailing himself. About 2 years into business, Matt brought his wife Amber of 3 years, on board. They shared a desk in the small 100 square foot office. As any married couple would understand, this was definitely not ideal working conditions! By the grace of God, their business grew and by the 4th year they expanded to a 12,000 square foot warehouse in Charlotte, NC. Matt and Amber’s family also grew, as they added their first child, Abby. Abby came to work most days, where she had her own nursery/play room. Over the next several years, they were able to add 6 employees and bring service and detailing of the vehicles in house. They also added two more children to their family, Eli and Libby. At the beginning of 2018, they purchased a 33,000 square foot facility. To God be the glory, great things He has done!

Lakeshia Rorie5 days agoThis was the most flabbergasting experience I’ve ever had. The ambiance of the staff and the Orr of the retail. Most of my experience with my salesperson was beyond the epitome of excellence. My experience was so phenomenal I’m still in disbelief. From the moment I stepped in to speak.. to the selecting of the truck to signing the papers was mere example of GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE!! By far in my car buying experience have I ever been treated with such royalty and patience. BIG THANK YOU TO JAJA for making this the BEST experience ever.

A great selection of luxury cars at this dealership.

Bo Jones3 months agoI believe that the first impression is a lasting impression... so with that being said I would first like to thank Mr.King! This gentleman greeted me with joy and courtesy! His professionalism had me drive 2 hrs to this beautifully designed car dealership! There I was assisted by Mr. JAJA, who was very knowledgeable and willing to go the extra mile to accommodate my personal needs! Any review less than 5 stars is definitely a travesty! This dealership is definitely a unique car buying experience from the look all the way to the free pinball arcade games in the beautiful lobby! Thank you guys for being there for me! Blessings

Victoria Ivantchev3 months agoI was looking for a pre-owned Porsche Cayenne with specific interior/exterior specs and I am so happy Godspeed had what I was looking for! Tony Ryan (senior sales consultant) helped me from start to finish and he was a pleasure to work with and was very knowledgeable and helpful throughout the entire process. Whenever I had a concern or question after purchasing the car, Tony was both responsive and accommodating to have my car brought in for a closer look. This company truly stands behind professionalism and servicing cars to meet customers expectations and beyond. Highly recommend.

Michael Statham3 months agoWorking with Tony @Godspeed motors was an absolute pleasure. I live in Atlanta, GA and felt comfortable enough with their company and his service that I bought the car Sight unseen. He makes sure you are comfortable and up to date. The entire process was really fantastic from beginning to end. Their cars and service are top notch and I will be back for another car in the future. At this point, if I am buying from a dealer It will be from Tony @ GodSpeed.

Ahrens Family4 months agoThis is God's business. He perfectly aligns his children with this fine establishment to bless their socks off!!! No hidden fees and no pressure. They know they've got what you need at the best price you will ever find. Tony was God sent and he stays true to his word, he held the truck my husband wanted until we got there even though it could have been sold to 15 other people that called before we got there. To top it off they had a second vehicle that perfectly fit my mommy code requirements. God was all in this transaction and we are so grateful!

elizabeth osborne4 months agoThey have an immaculate show room stuffed with high end gorgeous vehicles. Tony was our salesperson who communicated wonderfully with us throughout the process. He gave us the confidence and trust we needed to travel all the way from Georgia to purchase our vehicle. A beautiful BMW 650i. He has touched based with us a couple times since the purchase to thank us as well. Tony loves what he does and it shows!

Mike Forney5 months agoWorking with JaJa was a pleasure. The experience was professional, honest, and straight forward. Walked in and immediately felt welcome and comfortable at the dealership. He showed me around the car, gave me a little freedom to look around, and threw a couple alternatives in there for me as well. Had service records of everything done to the vehicle at Godspeed and got me in and out of there with a car in just a few hours. If I ever need another quality car I know exactly who I'm calling up.

Adam Bleyzgis5 months agoLate February I found what i was looking for at Godspeed. Yuri responded to my inquiry quickly and answered all my questions via phone, text, or email. At no time was i pressured. Being a buyer from out of state we handled everything online or through UPS overnight. I flew into Charlotte and took an Uber (about 20-25 minutes) to the dealership. Yuri welcomed me into the dealership and the car was as advertised. I think in better condition than i was expecting for a 7 year old car. Yuri went through everything on the vehicle, his knowledge was top notch. We went for a 30 minute test drive. I signed a couple of documents and off I went for my 8 hour drive back to PA. Beautiful, well cared for, spotless dealership. One of the easiest car buying experiences I have ever had. Check out Godspeed if you are looking for that specific high end vehicle. I bought a 2014 Jaguar F Type S Convertible
