Serving the Adventurous Since 1976

The Tradition Continues

Ritter Automotive, under its previous co-directors, Pat Cullen and Ross Steuart, commenced business in 1976 specialising in the service, repair and modification of 4WD vehicles. In 1977 a Range Rover auto transmission conversion was developed to satisfy growing demand, especially amongst new car buyers, for shiftless motoring. This early foray led ultimately, to Ritter becoming the largest independent Land Rover and Range Rover specialist in Australia.

In 2009, after 33 years at the helm Pat and Ross decided it was time to pass the baton and sold the business to Craig Doreian, Andrew Kovach and Dominic Callil. Craig, who is well known to our customers has been managing the parts side of the business for over 15 years. There isn’t much in the Land Rover parts business that he doesn’t know. Both Andrew and Dominic have each worked within the Land Rover community for over 18 years. Andrew’s passion for the Land Rover marque is unmistakable as he has been a member of the Land Rover Owners’ Club for over 25 years.

In fact Craig, Andrew and Dominic have a combined 55 years experience working with the Land Rover product. At Ritter, the management is hands on. All three directors are directly involved in the day to day operation of the business so you can be confident your vehicle will not be "lost in the crowd".

All of our expert staff have remained with the company so our customers can be confident that our exemplary level of service and knowledge will remain unchanged. Our staff can offer our clients the benefit of their immense product knowledge, whether it be related to parts, servicing, trip preparation, modifications, or advice regarding the purchase of a pre-owned vehicle.

We only hire the smartest, most experienced Land Rover specialists. They may not look glamorous, but they know just about everything there is to know about Land Rovers - old and new!
