About Us
Our Story
At the heart of Melton Automotive is a genuine family story built on trust, care, and quality workmanship.
Established in 1982, our workshop has proudly served the local community of Melton and surrounding areas for over four decades. The business was founded by Chris Ing, whose commitment to honest advice and reliable workmanship became the foundation of everything we do. In 2023, Chris retired and proudly passed the business to his son, Adrian Ing, continuing the family tradition with the same values and a modern approach to vehicle care.
Today, Melton Automotive remains a family-run and operated workshop, focused on providing friendly, transparent service in a welcoming environment where customers feel comfortable asking questions and confident in the work being carried out.
Conveniently located at 10 Holland Drive, Melton, we support drivers across the local region including Melton West, Melton South, Brookfield, Arnolds Creek, Eynesbury, Thornhill Park, as well as the wider communities of Bacchus Marsh, Darley, and Maddingley across the 3337, 3338 and 3340 postcode areas.
Our Approach Is Simple
Clear communication, quality workmanship, and genuine care for the safety of you and your family. From routine servicing to complex diagnostics and repairs, we take the time to properly inspect every vehicle, explain what's needed, and carry out the work with precision and pride.
As a long-standing local business, we value the relationships we've built over generations of customers. Many families have trusted us with their vehicles for years and now their children do too. That trust is something we work hard to earn every day.

I can't recommend Melton Automotive enough. They are always friendly and professional with great communication on what they've done and what needs to be done. I'm so glad that our friend got us onto Chris and Adrian so many years ago.
