Anti-corrosion treatment
Professional car anti-corrosion treatment offers several significant advantages. Kurbads offers top-level rust treatment and ensures anti-rust prevention.
Apply for anti-rust treatment service for your car:
Kurbads is the largest car transport logistics company in the Baltics. It offers its customers not only the ability to deliver the car, but also to carry out professional anti-rust treatment in the pre-sale service center with Mercasol materials and the latest technologies.
Corrosion protection is performed for light and off-road vehicles and commercial transport.
To conduct anti-corrosion treatment of the vehicle's moving parts (underside), no additional holes are required in the car body, floor, or other parts. By utilizing technological access points (such as inside the thresholds - a special cable is inserted, and by pulling it out with a 360-degree nozzle, the initial anti-corrosion material is sprayed). The rest of the vehicle's anti-corrosion material is uniformly applied to the entire underside of the car's length with the help of high-pressure, previously covering and disassembling parts that do not require treatment.
After the first treatment cycle, the underside of the car is covered with a specially durable protective coating or anti-chip material. Vehicle anti-corrosion treatment is carried out using state-of-the-art technologies and the highest standards, following the manufacturer's developed procedural materials, which specify the technological points for the vehicle's anti-corrosion treatment.
There are several reasons for performing this procedure.
This is step by step - how your car is treated:
Like Scandinavia, we encourage car dealers and importers to process this before the new car is handed over to the customer. In the Nordic countries, the climatic conditions are very similar, and most car manufacturers have recognized and accepted Mercasol anti-rust treatment specifically for new cars.
We recommend that customers carry out this treatment immediately after buying a new car, before the rusting process has started, to give maximum protection against rust for many years.
The anti-corrosion treatment comes with a 16-year guarantee, which attests to the quality of our service. To maintain the validity of the guarantee throughout this time, it is important to adhere to one condition: to ensure continuous quality and reliability. The guarantee confirmation must be done every 2 years at Kurbads warehouse.
These regular inspections allow for the timely detection and correction of any possible irregularities or deficiencies, thereby ensuring that the service always meets the highest standards. The inspections are quick and won't take much time, yet they are essential for you to confidently use the service throughout the entire warranty period.
Our experienced specialists carry out the treatment using high-quality "Mercasol" materials and technology. The "Mercasol" company has nearly 100 years of experience, demonstrating the effectiveness of its products for decades in the harsh Scandinavian conditions.
As a result, the car is protected from rust for several years, and additionally, when the initial anti-corrosion treatment is performed on a car that has not yet reached two years of age, a 16-year warranty is provided.
Car washing and cleaning
High-quality car washing and cleaning are impossible without appropriate equipment and knowledgeable specialists. Have you decided it's time for your car to receive top-level care too? Explore the diverse and professional offerings from Kurbads.
We offer all washing and cleaning services for various types of vehicles, including:
- Light vehicles.
- Various types of commercial transport (minibusses, buses, tractors, special machinery, etc.).
- Heavy-duty trucks.
Regardless of the type of vehicle requiring car washing or cleaning, Kurbads will certainly be the right choice.
Sound isolation
Driving a car inevitably involves various noises and sounds produced by the vehicle's tires, precipitation, road surfaces, and surrounding traffic. If you wish to minimize these, we recommend opting for car soundproofing.
This service is usually performed before anti-corrosion treatment, but we also offer it as a standalone option. Soundproofing is most commonly applied in the wheel arches, but we also provide comprehensive insulation for the entire cabin (including ceilings, floors, doors) and the trunk of the car.
When combined with anti-corrosion treatment, it can enhance effectiveness further, as the anti-corrosion layer also adds supplementary sound insulation.
Tire assembly and storage
At Kurbads Detailing Center, you'll find state-of-the-art tire mounting and balancing equipment, ensuring professional and precise work for your safety on the road!
Remember that it's essential to have your car fitted with winter tires by November 30th at the latest.
We utilize the "HUNTER" wheel balancing equipment at work, featuring the innovative Smart Weight imbalance calculation system for highly accurate wheel balancing with a single weight.
We employ the Giuliano S228 for wheel mounting, which is ideal for standard and low-profile tires. It incorporates the POWER OUT tire removal system, enhancing productivity and reducing wait times for your vehicle.
Car polishing and ceramic coating
Over time, various micro-damages tend to appear on the body of cars, which affect both their appearance and protection against rust. If you want your car to look like new and be protected from the effects of various conditions, you have come to the right place - Kurbads offers quality car polishing and ceramic coating.
In most cases, car polishing and ceramic coating go hand in hand. That is, before the ceramic treatment, the vehicle body is polished. During polishing, the car body regains its shine and original appearance of colors, and various scratches and marks are eliminated.
This is crucial not just for maintaining the car's appearance, as these surface damages can accelerate the onset of corrosion or rust. Additionally, headlight polishing enhances visibility while driving.
As you prefer, car polishing can be conducted as a separate procedure. However, it's advisable not to apply ceramic coating without prior polishing, as any imperfections on the surface will become more apparent if not properly addressed beforehand.
The ceramic coating has the ability to rejuvenate cars, making them sparkle like new and shine as if they've just rolled out of a showroom. However, apart from cosmetic benefits, ceramic treatment offers several other key advantages:
- Shielding against minor damages: The protective layer guards the vehicle against small scratches and scuffs. Additionally, any micro-damage that occurs post-treatment can be rectified by polishing the affected area and reapplying a fresh ceramic layer.
- UV protection for paint: With its UV-resistant properties, the ceramic coating significantly extends the lifespan of the car's paint by shielding it from the harmful effects of sunlight.
- Simplified maintenance: Thanks to the hydrophobic nature of the ceramic coating, the car becomes easier to clean throughout the year, be it removing snow and ice in winter or clearing away bugs in summer.
Furthermore, when applied to car windows, the hydrophobic coating not only simplifies maintenance but also improves visibility during rainy conditions.
Ceramic coating isn't limited to just the car's body and windows; it can also be applied to various other surfaces like headlights, plastic components, wheels, leather seats, carpets, and fabric interiors.
In essence, combining car polishing with a ceramic coating application is a highly effective method for preserving the car's appearance and protecting it against a range of environmental factors, significantly reducing the effort required for maintenance.
To achieve flawless outcomes, we rely on Gtechniq products, which are crafted through a fusion of science and innovation. As an accredited Gtechniq entity, Kurbads offers exclusive access to specialized materials unavailable to other establishments. Additionally, we assure you of quality service and provide a certificate that guarantees durability. The length of the warranty period is determined by the type of ceramic applied, ranging from three to nine years.
Application of PPF protective films
Using Paint Protection Film (PPF) is among the most efficient methods to shield your vehicle's body from external harm. This entails the application of a transparent, pliable film onto the car's surface.
The film is engineered to absorb and avert scratches and other surface impairments that may arise during regular usage, including those from rocks, sand, and various road hazards.
The application of the film demands precision and expertise, tasks that are expertly executed by our Kurbads Detailing team. The process initiates with meticulous cleaning and preparation of the car's surface to eliminate any traces of dust or dirt beneath the film. Subsequently, a specialized liquid is employed to apply and stretch the film across specific areas of the vehicle, such as the hood, fenders, doors, and rear bumper. Once affixed, the film is meticulously smoothed to prevent the formation of bubbles or wrinkles, ensuring a flawless fit.
The primary advantage of PPF film lies in its capacity to recover from minor scratches owing to its flexible and self-healing attributes. Additionally, it furnishes UV protection, safeguarding the car's original color from fading. For car owners, this protective measure not only enhances the vehicle's appearance but also represents a long-term investment in preserving its value.
Several factors influence the price, including the car's dimensions, specifications, current condition, and any preparatory treatment required before applying the PPF film.

Vehicle Inspection Services and registration
We offer to conduct vehicle inspections on behalf of private car owners! We'll load your car at the designated location, transport it to the nearest Road Traffic Safety Directorate (RTSD) inspection station, handle all necessary payments, perform the vehicle inspection, and then return your car to the specified address.
A contract outlining the terms of service, including payment and inspection procedures, will be signed before the service begins. Car documents must be entrusted to the responsible Kurbads driver for the duration of the service.
Insurance
We offer our clients the opportunity to purchase additional cargo insurance (CARGO), which will cover all losses related to cargo damage in any case - even if the cargo damage is not related to the carrier's liability or exceeds the carrier's liability limit.
The self-risk of the policies is 500,- EUR and is payable only in cases where the cargo damage is not related to the carrier's liability. The policy price for each specific shipment will be calculated by our managers.
The liability of car transport companies, or carriers, for damages during international transportation is governed by the Geneva Convention of 19 May 1956 on the Contract for the International Carriage of Goods by Road (CMR).
Our liability arising from this convention is insured up to a limit of €1,200,000 per year for each international shipment we undertake, but not exceeding €600,000 for a single accident.
It should be noted that not every damage that occurs during transportation is considered the carrier's liability under the understanding of the CMR convention. For example, the convention stipulates that the Carrier is relieved from liability if the cargo damage occurred due to the nature of the goods (vehicle) or due to circumstances beyond the carrier's control, which the carrier could not avoid and the consequences of which he was unable to foresee and prevent.
In addition to the above, the CMR convention sets the carrier's liability limit at 8.33 SDR (Special Drawing Rights), or approximately €10 per kilogram of cargo. For example, when transporting a VW Golf with a mass of 1205 kg, the carrier's liability for its damages or complete loss will not exceed €12,628.40.
