A FAMILY BUSINESS

Mike has 9 children, 6 boys and 3 girls, 3 of which work at the shop. He also has 3 brothers which all are master mechanics. Tampa Elite, ran by Mike as head tech along with his youngest brother Yousif by his side. The Service writer is Mike’s eldest son Hum who will greet you and assist you with your repair and purchase needs. Then you have his 2 teenage sons Jub, 14 and Nuz, 13 who assist when school is out on vacation. Mike at Tampa Elite alongside with his 2 other siblings Alex and Musa will be opening a second location in St. Petersburg as they want to expand their services within the Bay Area. As you can tell the business is built based on family foundation and that’s how they treat their customers with no exceptions.

When the doors to Tampa Elite were opened there were no customers. With hard, quality work and dedication, the shop has become one of the busiest, reputable shops in the Bay Area with 5-star ratings. With over 30 years of experience and continued education Tampa Elite has become one of the most competitive repair shops in town. They specialize in repairs and customization for all make, model and year for motorcycles, as well as ATV’s, UTV’s, and vehicles. No job is too big or too hard to handle. The effort that’s put into their work and customer service speaks for itself. Mike’s goal is to provide exceptional work with 100% customer satisfaction, loyalty and safety.
