About Dontex Performance

Family Owned and Run

Dontex Performance is a family owned and operated business. We pride ourselves on relationships, technical precision and honesty. The automotive industry has some stigmas surrounding it and it is our goal to change that with professional hi-end performance work as well as regular vehicle servicing.

30+ Years of Experience

Dontex principal Lee Forward began his career in the automotive industry over 30 years ago. He has managed sizable dealership workshops, and it was during this time that Lee's passion for all things Hemi grew and eventually lead to him taking the leap and acquiring the existing business of Dontex Auto around 2016.

Dontex Auto was originally located in Donvale, and took it's name from an amalgam of the location and the 'Caltex' service stationing that it was based in, then retained this name when it relocated to 3 Trade Place Vermont.  Fast forward to when Lee and Natalie purchased Dontex, and with Lee's passion and knowledge the business quickly grew to address the gap of expertise in Hemi performance modifications and parts availability in Australia.

Today Dontex Performance has grown again to new & bigger premises over the road at 8-10 Trade Place. Lee's team of hand picked specialist technicians have vast experience in the world of Hemi performance as well as regular log book & vehicle servicing, which explains why Dontex Performance has grown to be Australia's premier destination and foremost recognised modern Hemi specialist.
