25 suburbs from one Tullamarine workshop
Carrick Motors is a mechanical workshop at 27 Carrick Drive, Tullamarine, servicing 25 suburbs across Melbourne’s north and north west. Most are within 16 minutes drive. Suburbs inside a 10 kilometre radius can also arrange local vehicle pick-up and drop-off, subject to availability on the day.
Carrick Motors is a car mechanic Melbourne north west drivers reach in under twenty minutes. The workshop sits off Melrose Drive in the Tullamarine industrial pocket, a few minutes from the M80 Western Ring Road and the Melbourne Airport terminals. That position is the reason the catchment reaches as far as Taylors Lakes in the west and Roxburgh Park in the north. Each suburb below has its own page with the real route, the drive time and the work that suburb books most often.
If you are not sure which page applies to you, start with the closest suburb on the list. The full list of services we offer sits behind every one of them, so the service you need is the same wherever you drive in from.

These ten suburbs form the core catchment. All sit within about 12 minutes of Carrick Drive, and each one has a directions page with the leg-by-leg route, parking and drop-off detail.
Melbourne Airport is the one worth calling out. The terminals are about eight minutes from the workshop, which makes it practical to leave a car with us while you fly rather than paying for long-stay parking. Airline and freight staff based at the airport use the same arrangement for shift work.
These fifteen suburbs are between about 13 and 17 minutes away. Several sit right on the edge of the 10 kilometre pick-up radius, so the table above is the honest guide to whether a local collection is realistic from your street.
Every suburb page links through to the same workshop and the same service list. The most common bookings across the catchment are logbook servicing, roadworthy inspections, brakes and diagnostics.
Scheduled servicing stamped to the manufacturer’s schedule so a new car warranty stays intact. See logbook servicing that protects your warranty.
Selling, re-registering or clearing a defect notice. Read what is involved on our roadworthy certificate page.
Pads, discs and handbrake adjustment, including the wear pattern you get from freeway commuting. See brake pad replacement.
Fluid services, slipping under load and harsh shifts on both automatic and manual vehicles. See transmission servicing and repairs.
Warning lights, running faults and everything that does not fit a neat category. See general mechanical repairs.
Balancing, rotation and wheel alignment after kerb strikes or uneven wear. See tyres, balancing and alignment.
Fleet operators around Keilor Park and Essendon Fields usually book differently again, scheduling several vehicles across a week to keep downtime down. That is covered on the fleet servicing page.
The address is 27 Carrick Drive, Tullamarine VIC 3043, off Melrose Drive. There is off-street parking at the workshop. If you are coming from one of the twelve suburbs with a route page, start at the directions index and pick your suburb for the leg-by-leg version.
If you are selling a car, one point of timing is worth knowing before you book anything. A Victorian certificate of roadworthiness is valid for 30 days from issue, so booking it too early in the listing process can mean paying for a second inspection. Transport Victoria sets that out on its roadworthy certificate page, and it is the single most common thing sellers get wrong.
Questions we get asked
No. The workshop is in Tullamarine but most customers drive in from surrounding suburbs. Melrose Drive connects to the M80 Western Ring Road and the Tullamarine Freeway, so the run in from Broadmeadows, Airport West, Keilor Park or Greenvale is usually between 9 and 14 minutes outside peak hour.
Pick-up and drop-off runs within roughly 10 kilometres of Carrick Drive, which covers everything from Gladstone Park out to Pascoe Vale, Keilor and Campbellfield. Moonee Ponds, Taylors Lakes and Roxburgh Park sit just outside that radius, so those bookings depend on the day and the workload.
Yes. A Victorian certificate of roadworthiness is tied to the vehicle, not to where the owner lives. The certificate is valid for 30 days from the day it is issued, so the practical question is timing rather than address. Book the inspection close to the sale or re-registration date.
No. The work is quoted on the vehicle and the job, not on where the car is garaged. Distance only matters if you want local pick-up and drop-off, which depends on being inside the 10 kilometre radius and on availability that day.
The 25 suburbs listed are the core catchment, not a boundary. Drivers travel in from Craigieburn, Coburg, Sunshine and Sunbury as well. Call the workshop on (03) 9330 1082 and we will tell you honestly whether the trip is worth it for the job you need done.
Service recommendations, repair costs and completion times vary with the vehicle, the nature of the fault and parts availability. A vehicle inspection may be required before a final quote can be provided.
