Mississauga Transit Malton Garage is located at 6780 Professional Court, at the south end of the road. It was built as a satellite facility in 1991-1992 and opened on January 27, 1992. It is home to storage facilities for approximately 110 buses, as well as minor service facilities for only buses based there.
In 2007, a lot to the south-west of the canopies was paved to allow for more buses to be stored there, in order for Malton to open on weekends to take pressure off of the under construction Central. This lot was once occupied by a group of rail sidings for the nearby Magellan Aerospace (former Orenda Engines) facility to the west.
For major work, buses are temporarily moved to Central.
