FLEET MAINTENANCE ULTRATUNE The Evolution of Ultra Tune In the Beginning Ultra Tune started in 1979 with a pilot store in Box Hill, Victoria and grew rapidly across the country. Using the latest Dyno Tune technology, which enabled vehicles to be tuned whilst on “rolling roads”. By 1983 the company realized “the tune-up only” offering was not a viable option in the long term and instead of redeveloping the franchise model to accommodate a wider range of services, it was sold to new owners (predominantly groups of existing Ultra Tune franchisees) in Queensland, NSW, Victoria, Tasmania and South Australia. 14 ISSUE 24 AUGUST 2020 / WWW.AFMA.ORG.AU
