Sean Buckley states:

I often like to tell people; “Ultra Tune is an IT company that just happens to service cars.” Obviously, our car servicing is our stock in trade, but where Ultra Tune has managed to stay ahead of the competition over the years is by reading market trends and staying ahead of the curve.

In the early days we did this by introducing “dyno-tuning” before anyone else, today we aim to stay ahead of the competition by building a state-of-the-art priority IT platform which handles each and every aspect of the business – from booking a service, to reviewing service records, to sending out reminders to clients that their next booking is due, to invoicing. Our system is world leading and provides both franchisees and clients with a seamless and complete service.

You either move with the times and evolve or you perish – just ask the dinosaurs!

What are the key benefits of buying the Ultra Tune Franchise?

We see Ultra Tune expanding rapidly over the next few years. There are some key changes occurring to legislation here in Australia in 2020 which will ultimately make for a far fairer playing field in the auto-servicing market. These legislative changes will likely see the involvement of dealerships in servicing contracting which will open up more opportunities for Ultra Tune across the country.

The recent closure of Holden here in Australia for example means independent service providers such as Ultra Tune will be filling the void for the servicing of Holden cars in the future.

When you consider

(a) the cost of acquiring an Ultra Tune franchise is very competitive

(b) Ultra Tune provides an end to end support to franchisees

(c) the cost of servicing a vehicle at an Ultra Tune store is, on average, 30% lower than the charge incurred at a dealership

(d) dealership numbers are decreasing – Ultra Tune’s future looks very appealing.
