Passion is the word best used to describe what drives Elliott Deane. It was birthed years ago, back in middle school in North Carolina, when he rode a dirt bike for the first time. He knew then that his introduction to motorsports was setting a path for his life. It would be a path that would lead him to not only racing ATVs and sport bikes but also to discovering his entrepreneurial spirit.

He remained committed to the desire and vision of becoming a technician throughout his teenage years. After graduating high school, he moved to Orlando, Florida, to attend the Motorcycle Mechanics Institute (MMI). After spending two years at the Institute, he graduated on the Director’s List (top of his class) and he also received the prestigious distinction of being awarded Suzuki’s Select Tech. He then moved back to North Carolina and accepted a job at Madison Motorsports, where he enjoyed going as a kid and the same dealership that had helped cultivate his love of the industry. Unfortunately, after two years, the recession hit, and the dealership closed.

Elliott stayed in North Carolina for a few more years, working at another local dealership where he honed his skills as a lead technician and built up his reputation as a “rock star” in the service department. But then he felt a draw to Saint Augustine, Florida, and knew that one of the benefits of the area was the year-round riding compared to North Carolina. So, in a leap of faith, he moved and accepted a job as a technician at a local dealership. But this dealership wasn’t like the dealerships he had worked at before. Elliott was about to learn the lessons that would take that flame of passion and ignite it into a fire.

He saw that people were not being treated honestly. Their time was being wasted. And he realized that their money was not being respected as hard-earned but rather as something the dealership targeted. Elliott set out to change that.

He developed the concept of a mobile motorsports service in mid-2015: A completely self-contained mobile bay with a factory-trained technician that would come to the client’s location to complete diagnostic, service, or repairs on the motorcycle, ATV, or side-by-side. No more dealing with having to haul the machine via a trailer and wait days or weeks for a call to say it’s done. Now, everything would be completed the factory way at the client’s convenience, eliminating all the hassles and saving time and money. In August 2015, Wide Open Mobile Tech was founded.
