Planning a winter road trip to the Snowy Mountains, the Victorian Alps, or Tasmania’s high country? Driving in Australia’s alpine regions is an amazing adventure — but cold weather, icy roads, and steep mountain passes can take a toll on your car.
That’s where we come in. At Ultra Tune, we’ll make sure your car is safe, reliable, and ready for the challenges of winter driving.
🔧 Our Winter Road Trip Preparation Services
Comprehensive Safety & Service Check
At Ultra Tune we give your car a full inspection — brakes, suspension, tyres, steering, battery, and fluids — so you can drive into alpine conditions with confidence.
Battery Testing & Replacement
Cold weather drains battery power fast. We test your battery’s health and replace it if needed, so you don’t risk being stranded in freezing conditions.
Cooling System Check
We make sure your coolant and antifreeze mix are correct to protect your engine from overheating on climbs or freezing overnight.
Tyres You Can Trust
We check tread depth and tyre pressure for safe grip on wet, icy, or snow-dusted roads.
We can advise if all-season or winter-rated tyres are the best choice for your journey.
Brake Inspection
Mountain driving demands reliable stopping power. We check pads, discs, and brake fluid to ensure your brakes perform when you need them most.
Windscreen & Wipers
We replace worn blades, top up washer fluid, and make sure your demisters work so you’ll always have a clear view — even on frosty mornings.
Heating & Demister System
We confirm your heater and defogger are working properly to keep your cabin comfortable and your windows clear.
Lights & Electrics
We check your headlights, fog lights, and electrics for maximum visibility in fog, snow, and night-time driving.
