Apex Performance Tuning Melbourne — European and performance car workshop
McLaren and Porsche 911 in for repair at Apex Performance Tuning Melbourne
Repairs & Maintenance — Melbourne

Engine rebuilds.
Brake pads. Everything between.

Quick answer

Apex Performance Tuning is an independent European and performance car specialist workshop at Unit 4/6 Woodbine Court, Wantirna South VIC 3152, servicing greater Melbourne. We are not a dealership.

European & performance car repairs and maintenance is carried out to manufacturer specification with genuine or OEM-equivalent parts and manufacturer-level diagnostic software (BMW ISTA, VAG ODIS/VCDS, Porsche PIWIS, Mercedes XENTRY), so your statutory and new-car warranty stays intact.

Open Monday to Friday 8:30am–5:30pm, contact 0483 939 216. Every job is quoted in writing against your VIN before work begins and documented with a video inspection.

The Apex standard

We literally do it all.
Diagnosed, quoted, fixed.

From full engine rebuilds to a set of brake pads, Apex handles the full spectrum of repair and maintenance work on European and performance vehicles. We diagnose first, quote second, and only proceed when you've signed off.

We supply and fit every part we use — genuine OEM brands and premium aftermarket (Bosch, Brembo, Pagid, Bilstein, KW, Liqui Moly, Motul, Mahle, NGK, Mann and similar). You don't need to chase parts; we source them at trade pricing and itemise everything on your invoice.

Transparency comes standard. If anything turns up on the hoist that wasn't on the original quote, you receive photos and short videos straight to your phone — with an explanation — before any extra work is approved.

    Itemised written quote with OEM and premium aftermarket part options. No work begins without your sign-off.

OEM or premium aftermarket — your call.

Anything we find on the hoist is documented with photos and short videos sent straight to your phone. You see what we see, approve work on your terms, no surprises at hand-back.

FAQ

Common questions.

Still unsure? Send us your VIN, current km and the symptoms — we'll come back with a diagnostic plan and quote.

What kind of repair work do you actually take on?+

Everything from a brake-pad replacement to a full engine rebuild. We literally do it all — diagnostics, mechanical, drivetrain, brakes, suspension, cooling, electrical, fault finding and module coding. If it's a European or performance vehicle, it's in our wheelhouse.

Do you supply the parts as well as fit them?+

Yes — we supply and fit. We carry trade accounts with OEM suppliers and premium aftermarket brands, so you get the right part at trade pricing rather than chasing it yourself. Every part fitted is itemised on your invoice with the brand listed.

OEM or aftermarket — what do you recommend?+

Both have their place. We use genuine OEM parts on request, and premium aftermarket brands (Bosch, Brembo, Pagid, Bilstein, KW, Liqui Moly, Motul, Mahle, NGK, Mann and similar) as standard. We'll talk you through the trade-offs on quote so you make the call.

Do you send photos or videos if you find something?+

Yes — that's standard at Apex. If we spot something on the hoist that wasn't on the original quote, we photograph and film it and send the media to your phone with an explanation before any extra work is approved. Transparency and customer service are non-negotiables here.

Which vehicles do you specialise in?+

Porsche, BMW (including M Division), McLaren, Audi, Volkswagen, Škoda, Cupra, Mercedes-Benz and AMG, Nissan GT-R R35, Toyota Supra A90, the Toyota GR range (GR Yaris, GR Corolla, GR86) and Jaguar. If your vehicle isn't listed, send the VIN and we'll confirm.

Can you handle work after my factory warranty has expired?+

Absolutely — many of our clients move to Apex once the dealer warranty ends. Same OEM-grade parts, factory procedures and digital records, without the dealer pricing or wait times.

Do you do pre-purchase inspections?+

Yes. PPI reports are one of our most-requested jobs, especially on Porsche 911, GT-R R35, Supra A90 and McLaren. You receive a full diagnostic, hoist inspection, road-test report and photo / video media before you commit to a purchase.

How quickly can you book me in?+

Most diagnostics can be slotted within the same week. Larger jobs are scheduled around parts lead times — we'll confirm dates at the time of booking.

Something not right?
Let's diagnose it.

Send us your make, model, build year and a quick description of the symptoms — we'll come back with a diagnostic plan and the next available slot.
