Since 2001 Octane Motors has provided quality automotive repairs to customers throughout Melbourne’s south eastern suburbs, priding ourselves on friendly customer service, the breadth of our services, and over 170 years of combined automotive repairs experience.

Starting out in his career in his native South Africa under his dad, owner Ryan worked on diesel engines for trucks and agricultural equipment, branching out into broader mechanical work to pursue his passion for road vehicles. Emigrating to Australia in 1998, Ryan worked as a mechanic for several workshops throughout Melbourne before buying Octane Motors in 2001.

Today Octane Motors offers a complete range of services from your vehicle, from mechanical and auto electrical repairs, scheduled servicing, vehicle inspections and diagnostic scans to accident repairs, including chassis, panel and paint work. We take special pride in giving customers everything they need to fall in love with their vehicle all over again, and do everything we can to have that happen.

Customers will get a complete breakdown of any work that needs to be done before repairs begin, complete with an estimate on price, and will be worked on in a workshop equipped with the right tools for any make or model of vehicle, from a Camry to a Ferrari.
