Owner of Redline Motosports Nathan Stuewer integrated a lifelong interest in powersports into a successful business as a powersports dealer. Redline Motosports offers sales and service for powersports including jet skis, ATVs, dirt bikes, and motorcycles.
“I’ve always been passionate and interested in powersports. I grew up riding with my parents and both my sisters. It was always a family activity where we did some racing and leisure riding.”
Now, Stuewer enjoys helping his customers participate in the same activities he did growing up. “Maybe some families will be lifetime dirt bike or ATV riders – or some who gravitate towards water sports. It is exciting and fun to be a part of making that happen for them.”
Stuewer moved to South Carolina with his wife in 2010 and started Redline Motosports in February 2011. “It has changed a lot over the years from when we first started. Originally it was just parts and salvage. We would buy broken and damaged items then fix them and sell them online.”
As time went on, Stuewer got a lot of questions about servicing jet skis. “With our location by the dam, we had more and more interest in water sports. We had people ask us if we could fix jet skis and if we sold them. We decided to pursue that.”
A service department was added to the business in 2016. “We started to fix up jet skis that we bought, then we started specifically buying them to fix and resell. Along with the resale side came trailers, floating docks, and mobile service. We are comprised of several different departments now. I have the parts and salvage side where we buy machines from individuals or from our customers that are not worth fixing and we repurpose to sell the parts,” Stuewer explained.
Redline Motosports offers warranties for all products and services regardless of where it was purchased. “We handle all the paperwork. We do essentially the same thing you would do at a dealership. The big difference between us and almost any other place that you would walk into is we have a focus on pre-owned versus selling new.”
Stuewer said selling quality pre-owned helps make getting into power sports less expensive. “We want to give people the ability to get into power sports without having to spend a lot of money. We also spend a lot of time on the education side, specifically with watercrafts as we get a lot of first-time buyers.”
Looking towards the future, Stuewer wants the business to continue to grow in a positive direction. “We want to add value where we are missing opportunities, and we want to see where we can better serve Lexington. We want to continue to grow and help others build the same type of memories that I built with my family.”
