Anton is amazing! My car runs better than ever, its faster, smoother, and more responsive. Great results on my evo. Couldn't be happier!

I'm going to start with a Big Thank You to Anton, 3 years i had an extensive engine rebuild done on my BMW E92 M3, that included the fitment of a reputable Supercharger. From the time the engine was on the Dyno for the very first time it never really produced the power we expected due to poor tuning. Several Dyno tunes later we still had not achieved what i would call respectable. Until i met Anton through googling someone local that had great reviews. Anton listened to what i had to say and what i wanted to achieve, Anton made a recommendation on the ECU and other items that he would use for my BMW to sort the issue out. Anton took care of purchasing all the items that were required to tune and make it drive how it should. Now the vehicle drives and behaves absolutely brilliant, The power output he has achieved is just incredible. Thanks again Anton, i will be recommending you to all my friends.

Taken my 2017 BMW M140i here twice and have been extremely happy with the level of professionalism and care taken. First visit was for a new HPFP and spark plug install and the second for a routine service both completed with professional care and diligence that a lot of garages have lost. Anton was always happy to answer questions and quote me fair prices even over the weekend which i appreciate for someone who is constantly busy Mon - Fri. Thanks to all the hard working people here for providing the care that people want for their vehicles, high performance or not.

Anton did a fantastic job at tuning my 86, was able to pass emissions with flying colours. Is an absolute wizard at tuning, was able to pull so much more torque out of the car, even after it had been custom tuned by a very reputable supercharger company in Melbourne. Highly recommended.

Anton has tuned both my turbo LS1 VU SS and my big single turbo Supra. He was able to work to my goals and steer me in the right direction when I went off track, and the cars had great drivability and all the power I could want. Would absolutely recommend.

Anton has previously tuned My supra, always helpful when doing a changeup setting up new items. Brought my VE Maloo in for its first boosted tune, he kept it on a safe tune. Communication is always great.

After 1 year of remote tuning from USA, My BMW M3 Supercharged has never ran right, until I met Anton and guided me through what exactly is needed before start tuning. He through in a Syvecs ECU, upgraded fuel pump and injectors & E85 fuel. And all I have to say is : Absolutely game changer! I was so close selling the car but now im well over the moon. Thank you 😊 🙏 I highly recommend 👌🏼

Got my rx7 installed with a haltech elite and tuned in a day on e85 car runs and goes amazing and best part is the cold start!!!

Anton recently tuned my BMW e83 X3 with m57 engine. I wasn't looking for any crazy power as this is my daily but just a tune to get the benefit of some bolt on modifications. The car feels great, little bit of extra torque and smoother crusing around. Couldn't be happier with the service.

I would like to highly recommend this tuner to anyone seeking a trustworthy and reliable professional. I brought my Supra Mk5 to Anton last month for a Stage 2 tune and later encountered a software issue where BM3 was unable to log. Anton took the time to contact BM3 directly and worked with them to find an effective solution. He handled everything with great responsibility and did not charge me any additional fees. I am truly grateful for his support. Thank you very much, Anton.

Anton has been fantastic to deal with. He has tuned a few of my cars over the past years. He explained things in detail and very prompt with his services. He has a very good understanding and quite Knowledgeable in his field of work. Anton has gone above and beyond as always to make sure customers satisfaction was his goal. I am very happy with my custom tune. Would highly recommend anyone looking to get a custom tune or performance upgrades done. Thanks again Anton.

Thanks Anton and the guys for transforming the drivability of my notchtop swapped 180. It's a night and day comparison and getting better fuel economy even when making more power, which is great because i daily it. I'll definitely be back for future upgrades, couldn't recommend a more helpful and polite tuner.

Extremely happy with my tune from Anton on my R34 GTT. Have had multiple tunes from Anton now and wouldn't go anywhere else. Great care is taken in all aspects of the tuning which some tuners tend to neglect such as cold start and drivability. Highly recommend Anton!

Have been taking my cars to Anton for the past 4 years. In that period of time I've had three cars tuned by Anton. All those times the process and services provided have been excellent. Anton is very knowledgeable and provides in depth explanations and background on the tunes/services he will do or has done to your vehicle. In the past I've taken my vehicles to other tune shops, not the best experiences unfortunately. Tunes were rough, overall cars performance was very poor. Anton has earned my customer loyalty for life, he is the only tuner I trust my cars with. I recommend all my family and friends to Anton. He provides a unique and excellent customer service experience.

Anton provided me with an amazing service when tuning my 330d, he produced excellent results and stayed in touch with me to keep me in the loop of where he was at and was able to make suggestions as to how I could maximise the cars potential. Overall amazing service and I would not hesitate to come back in the future!

◆ What you can expect

The Dyno Tuning Process

Most car tunes are done in one day.
Bigger builds take 1–4 weeks.
You get dyno results, photos, and can talk directly to your tuner at every step.

  1. Enquire

    Tell us your car, what you drive it for, and what you want to achieve. We tune all petrol and diesel cars across Melbourne.

  2. Quote

    We send you a clear, itemised quote — parts, labour, and your tune stage. No surprises. Nothing starts until you say yes.

  3. Baseline Dyno

    We put your car on the dyno as-is to measure stock power and torque. This gives us a starting point before any tuning begins.

  4. ECU Tune

    Your ECU is remapped live on the dyno. We adjust fuel, timing, and boost to safely unlock more power and better throttle response.

  5. Gearbox Tune

    We tune your gearbox to match the new power. Smoother gear changes, faster shifts, and better response — all dialled in to suit your car.

  6. Sign-off

    A final dyno run shows your power gains. We road test the car, then hand you a printed dyno sheet so you can see exactly what changed.
