So let's sum it up.

4. A company specialized in tuning Fords, located in Melbourne, whose name starts with the letter H and is an acronym plus another word. It's neither HP Factory nor HP Tuners.

22. A tuning company located in Western Australia, whose name starts with the letter A.

When I'm looking for companies that fit these criterias I keep on finding the same rejected companies, so please fellow puzzlers help solve these last two mysteries !

Yes they are. I'd be VERY impressed to hear of a tuner based outside of Perth in WA, not exactly a vast range of customers out there!

If you google those 2 names, is there something else you find?
In other words, are those 2 names the same of something else?

There is a specific relationship in the company's name, but googling it exactly brings up their own page first.

22. Is the name between 5 and 10 letters long ? No it is not.

4. Is this acronym in common with anything else? I mean, is there anything else that shares the same name? Sort of... it's hard to describe without giving anything away, but there is a definite connection to something else in the name.
22. Again, is this name used for anything else? I don't believe so, no.
