I pisses me off to no end to even have to give this Shit Show Shop one star. I'm a local business owner in the same town as this joke establishment so as always I try to support the local owners. Support them I did! $1100 is what I was billed for a POD kit install, exhaust swap, stator install, flat ... tire and pickup fee that the Assclown owner tacked on for having to come get the bike when it broke down on my home from the leaving the "shop" with the same issue they said was fixed. These idiots couldn't even install the exhaust! I got a call from Mike the owner while I was at work telling me that whoever fabricated the exhaust their template must've been off because there was no possible way that exhaust will go onto that bike I specifically asked him did they remove the boot because that would keep it from going on to the bike I was told yes multiple times. So I left work and went straight down there because I knew what he was telling me wasn't right the first thing I noticed as I was walking up to the bike was that they had never taken the boot off! It took me 10 minutes to put the exhaust on my bike after I removed the boot which took all of 30 seconds. (They still billed me putting it on although I'm the one that actually put it on) I've been through so much with this place that I and any other patron of sound mind would want to burn it to the ground but seeing how that's not socially acceptable all I can do is warn others to not give their business to this circus. The stator install they did has left me with a crank case that is constantly leaking oil. I called Mike and informed him of that told him he needed to come get the bike he said he wasn't going to do it but I can bring it to him that infuriated me but I bit my tongue took in the bike he called me back the next day or whatever said the bike was ready I went down there got it home the next morning I saw that it was still leaking oil I called him again demanded he come pick up the bike this time he did come pick up the bike the next day he called me told me it was ready he wasn't gonna bring it to me I can come pick it up of course that pissed me off anyway I went and picked it up got it home next morning the bike still leaking at this point I'm at a loss for words. I've given the owner every opportunity to make this right but he has not even been inclined enough to return a call. This place has absolutely zero skill, integrity, work ethic, pride in what they do, nothing! they have absolutely nothing going for them as a business! it confuses The hell out of me knowing that they're still up and running. If you have issues with your bike go to a real bike shop go see Kenny at Hell Benders on Eiland Blvd. Mark my words you will regret going to this place. My experience with this joke establishment has been so unfathomable that I have every intention of lodging a formal complaint with the BBB and I have every intention of suing to get my money back seeing how the owner doesn't want to refund anything. The pod kit install they did they never synced my carbs they had a jetted it incorrectly they never even cleaned the carburetor these were are all things that I was billed for when I took the carburetor apart to see what all was going on with it because the bike was still running like shit I found washers and bolts and all kind of extra parts just floating in the bowl of the carburetor. There's even more issues that I haven't listed here on this review simply because I'm tired of typing. So with all that said enter at your own risk and after reading this and knowing that I'm being 100% honest You're a fool if you go to this place! Jason Armstrong

I'll give the service department 5 stars. Tire change, front and rear brake pads, and got me in and out in a very reasonable time. Dave and crew personable and very savvy when it comes to scoots. If I had to complain about anything it would be that half mile walk to Hardees for breakfast...lol

Andrea , as a rider of bikes for 40 years , it is NOT a big deal to put one size wider tire on a bike or car for that matter, , you are trying to make yourself sound like the woman being victimized by a shop while your husband is gone, while I appreciate your husbands service to the country that ... has nothing to do with buying a tire, , tires are sold ,someone else probably sold the tire not knowing it was being held for you.Having owned my own shop I cant tell you how many times I have held something for someone and they never show up. so in essence you lose the sale all the way around , maybe they should have given you the tire , the labor and bought you dinner as well. after all you are a values long time customer that has spent thousands of dollars with them, ,, oh wait thats not you. I would imagine they were happy you were gone smaller shops cant afford to GIVE away parts and labor. especially to someone who has never crossed the door before

I have been a customer almost since they opened. Mike is a great guy and the mechanics are great and knowledgable. The work on my Harley, my four wheelers, my wife's bike and even get parts for my sister %$Y&%^& chineese scooter. Having said that, I have never had an issue and they have always ... delivered. I have sent several friends there and all have been pleased with the service. I empathise with Andrea and am sure she is under a lot of stress with her husband being deployed. I have never witnessed any kind of bad customer service.

I am a new customer to Affordable MotorSports and I think Andrea could not be more wrong. I originally went in to find a rim for a off brand Dirt bike but they did not have one in stock. After wondering around the store for about an hour asking Mike 100 questions about the four wheelers and Dirt ... bikes he had in stock my wife and I decided to purchase a used four wheeler for my son and a used dirt bike for myself. Mike worked with us on the price and stated he wanted to go through both of them before I took them. Long story short he spent a lot of extra time and money (at no extra charge to me) to make sure both the four wheeler and the dirt bike were in perfect running order. The tech who worked on the bike also was meticulous and professional. He did not want me to leave with the dirt bike until he knew it perfect running order as well. We will be going back to them to purchase a dirt bike for my grandson and a four wheeler for my daughter. I am very loyal when treated right so Affordable MotorSports now has a lifelong customer.

I have been a customer of Affordable Motor Sports for several years and am writing this in their defense to the posting by Andrea about the rear tire on the sport bike. After finding this posting I called the owner and asked him what had happened because I was surprised to see what Andrea said. Affordable ... Motorsports is a great company with outstanding customer service and very fair prices. They have always done me right and the several friends that I have referred to them. I find it concerning that any one that has a bad day takes it out on a company that went out of their way to help her. What actually happened is that Andrea did not make an appointment and the tire that was available when she called was sold later that day. She was price shopping the tire and never called back to make an appointment. When she came in the next day they told her the tire was sold and that they were sorry but that they could put the next size up which lots of people do on motorcycles. She gave them the OK to put the 190 tire on and after they put it on her husband called her and said he didn't want it. So they had to now take off the brand new 190 and call around to get the 180 to help her out. All the while not charging any extra to change the tire twice after she gave the OK to put the 190 on. So it is no wonder she did not get an additional discount they should have charged her more for having to change the tire twice. They also went out of their way and drove to another shop to pick up the tire for her. It upsets me to know that someone would spend the time writing a bad review about a great honest small company like Affordable Motor Sports that did nothing wrong. In fact they went way out of their way to help Andrea that most shops would not have done. I guess you just can't please everyone even if you go out of your way to help them they still think they are owed something or you did something wrong.

I am very disappointed with my service experience at Affordable Motorsports. My car broke down this past weekend on the Veteran's so my bike is the only mode of transportation I have at the moment. I am in the area by myself working while my husband is deployed to Kuwait for 8 months. I started the ... bike up Tuesday, flat rear tire. I called Affordable Motorsports on Wednesday and confirmed the exact tire I needed and the time I would come in the next day. I aired the tire and rode to the shop and was told that they sold the last one of the tires I needed sometime after they spoke with me the day before. He tried to sell me a 190 when I need a 180. After speaking with my husband (who was frustrated that they told me the tire would be there and it wasn't), I told them I didn't want to put the wrong size tire on my bike. When I told him that my husband wasn't happy about putting a 190 on the bike, he said "Why?"-astonished. I explained and he said something to the effect of "He needs to relax". He tried to sell me two other brands of tires that I didn't want. Only after telling him I would just patch the tire and leave, did he decide to call another shop to see if they had the tire I needed. They did, and I waited another hour for the tire to be delivered and put on. It's baffling to me that this option was available and not thought of right off the bat. It's also baffling that after explaining my situation with the bike being my only mode of transportation, me taking a huge risk in riding it over there, that it wasn't made absolutely sure that a tire would be put aside for me as promised. I did my job in calling the shop and making sure they had the tire I needed in stock-they didn't do theirs. Then I go to pay and he tells me $232 including tax. This was the same price that was quoted to me the day before, mind you ($155 for the tire + $55 for install). I said, "So there's no discount for what has happened today?" He said "No I already discounted the tire down from $200 something to $155. I'm only making $10." Then proceeded to hunt down the invoice for what he purchased the tire for and I told him not to worry about it. I cannot believe that after everything, he wasn't willing to knock off even $10 for the hassle he caused. I was so upset over everything that has happened with being here by myself with my husband deployed and my vehicles breaking down leaving me stranded and then all this mess with the tire not being the right tire for my bike, I was crying in the waiting area. I'm not asking for special treatment, but take pity on a stranded spouse of a military member, ESPECIALLY when I was inconvenienced because of their incompetence. UNACCEPTABLE. I will be posting this review on every available review website, tampasportbikes.com, and all available social media websites. I'm appalled at this level of service.
