The company, with a network of mechanic workshops across Australia, was found to have breached Australian Consumer Law and the Franchising Code of Conduct in 2019. The Court ordered Ultra Tune to provide disclosure documents and marketing fund statements to franchisees, as well as implement a compliance program. Despite previous penalties and actions by the ACCC, Ultra Tune failed to comply with the orders in a timely manner. The fines highlight the importance of complying with court orders to avoid contempt charges.
