Thinking about a cam upgrade?

It can change the way your vehicle feels on the road, from stronger pull through the rev range to sharper throttle response and a tougher sound.

The key is choosing the right setup for your vehicle and making sure it’s tuned properly.

You’ll want the sound on for this one.

This 2018 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 came through the workshop, and the supercharged V8 did not disappoint.

A pretty cool one to have at Eastern Automotive.

Another happy customer, another great result.

These two 2026 Land Rover Defenders came in for dyno tuning on our 4WD dyno, helping fine tune performance and get the best out of both vehicles.

By running the vehicle on the dyno, we can see exactly how it’s performing and make the right adjustments to get better power, smoother response and a better drive on the road.

A big thanks to our customer for the great feedback!

For the right vehicle, a proper dyno tune can make a big difference to how it drives, performs and responds on the road.

But it’s not just about chasing more power. There are a few things worth understanding first, especially if you want the best result for your vehicle.

We’ve put together a quick blog explaining what dyno tuning does, when it can help, and why it’s important to get it done properly.

Meet Tristan, our Senior Technician.

Tristan has been with us for 14 years. So it’s fair to say there isn’t much he hasn’t fixed, tuned, pulled apart or put back together.

He loves the variety of vehicles that come through the workshop, from everyday cars through to proper performance builds.

One of the best parts of the job is seeing people’s faces when they get their pride and joy back.

He’s even the guy dealerships send cars to that they can't fix!

Good bloke, clever technician, and a huge part of the team here at Eastern Automotive.

Did you know?

We can often source tyres at a better price than some of the leading tyre installers!

It's worth giving us a call to check.

And if your wheels are shuddering, your car is pulling to one side, or your steering wheel isn’t sitting quite straight, it might be time for a balance and alignment too.

We can sort the tyres, fitting, balancing and alignment, all in one place!
