Ultra Tune – History

Ultra Tune have been trading for over 40 years and are a proud Australian company. It all started in 1979, with our first store in Box Hill, Melbourne. It rapidly expanded under Bert Smart who saw a specialist Fast Tune-Up store in Hawaii whilst traveling home from the USA and developed a franchise model which saw the new business expand rapidly into all Australian states except WA. Using the latest Dyno Tune technology, which enabled vehicles to be tuned whilst on “rolling roads”, Ultra Tune garnered wide public acceptance in the competitive after-market servicing sphere.

In 1994, Sean Buckley acquired management and further developed the company. In the following years Ultra Tune evolved and developed, expanding its services to include breakdown cover, brake servicing, tyres and more.

While Ultra Tune started with a fixed price tune and lube service it now provides both fleet and private motorists with a full range of services, each designed to be performed in a structured series of operating procedures which ensure faster, more efficient and cost effective service.
