We are proud to announce 1800 Salvage’s latest partnership with Australia’s largest independent automotive servicing and repairer in Australia, Ultra Tune!
A seamless extension of Ultra Tune’s offering
Servicing hundreds of thousands of cars each year, Ultra Tune has long been a trusted name in automotive care across Australia. Now, the business is proud to provide its customers with direct access to a premier automotive buyer through an exciting new partnership with 1800 Salvage. A reliable and seamless brand under the 1800 Autogroup umbrella, 1800 Salvage specialises in purchasing unwanted vehicles and is widely recognised for its smooth, customer-first approach. If a vehicle is beyond repair or the work is too costly, 1800 Salvage will provide a free quote for customers to be able to weigh up their options.
1800 Salvage is the dedicated vehicle-buying service of 1800 Autogroup, purchasing less-than-perfect vehicles, including unwanted and end-of-life cars from locations throughout Australia. By offering competitive quotes, instant and secure payment via Osko, as well as complimentary vehicle collection, the service removes the friction traditionally associated with selling a car. Ultra Tune customers can now enjoy a streamlined and transparent sales process for vehicles they no longer require, all while dealing with brands they already know and trust. This exciting opportunity also allows 1800 Salvage to extend the service they are known and loved for to a new network of loyal and committed customers nurtured by Ultra Tune.
A strategic partnership built for national scale
Speaking to 1800 Autogroup Head of Growth, Michael McDermott, the company is uniquely positioned to support a partnership of this scale. “We are the only business in our category that can handle the scope and operational demands of an all-encompassing partnership like this,” he said. “Our national footprint means that we can assist every Ultra Tune store in the country, regardless of location.” This reach ensures consistency in service delivery while maintaining a high standard of customer care at every touchpoint.
With a renewed focus on delivering a complete and intuitive customer experience, Ultra Tune’s partnership with 1800 Autogroup opens a new avenue for mutual growth. It enhances existing customer relationships while creating opportunities to forge new ones along the way. Where Ultra Tune previously needed to direct customers to the open market of salvage and second-hand car buyers, the business can now confidently offer a reliable, hassle-free alternative. This not only increases customer trust but also strengthens long-term brand loyalty.
“This partnership is a natural evolution of the services we provide and a significant win for both our customers and our stores. Working with 1800 Autogroup was an easy decision—their professionalism, industry expertise, and national reach make them an ideal partner to support our extensive network across the country,” said Anthony Curtin, Executive Sales Manager at Ultra Tune.
The complementary nature of the partnership allows both companies to seamlessly pick up from each other’s stopping points. To further enhance the value proposition, 1800 Autogroup is also offering customers a $100 voucher that can be put towards their next Ultra Tune service, closing the loop between vehicle sale and ongoing automotive care.
Reflecting on the collaboration, McDermott described the partnership as a “smart, well-executed strategy,” noting the strong alignment between the two brands. With hopes of further collaboration and deeper integration in the future, this partnership marks a new chapter for 1800 Autogroup. With innovation, customer experience, and strategic growth in the crosshairs, we aim to bring many more exciting collaborations to light as time goes on.
