Šmerļa iela begins at the very Brīvības gatve junction we work on. From Mežciems that means one street from end to end — and we are at number 246, just past the junction.
Mežciems borders Jugla, Dreiliņi, Purvciems and Teika, and the Biķernieki forest starts at its edge. A car parked under trees and driven on forest roads gets dirty in a different way from a city-centre car: sap on the roof and bonnet, pollen in spring, mud in the arches and leaves under the windscreen.
Tree sap is precisely the sort of dirt you should not leave until later. In sunlight it hardens and etches into the clear coat, and then a wash alone will not shift it — it needs a clay bar treatment or even polishing. The sooner it comes off, the cheaper it is.
Getting here is simple: Šmerļa iela starts at our junction. No looping round on Brīvības gatve and no turns to hunt for.
No booking, every day from 08:00 to 20:00.
Šmerļa iela brings you out onto Brīvības gatve. We are right there at the junction — number 246, with parking at the door.
Sap, pollen and mud each need different products. We will tell you what a wash will lift and what needs a clay bar. The inspection is free.
An exterior wash takes about an hour. If sap has already etched into the paint, polishing may be needed — we tell you before starting.
Before you take the car we walk round it with you, roof and bonnet included, where sap most often goes unnoticed.
The same prices for every customer, whichever neighbourhood you come from.

No. We have one workshop, at Brīvības gatve 246 in Teika. Šmerļa iela runs from Mežciems and ends at exactly our junction.
Fresh sap, yes — it usually comes away during the wash. Once it has hardened in the sun and etched into the clear coat, a wash is not enough: it needs a clay bar treatment or, at worst, localised polishing.
During pollen season a wash every couple of weeks is usually enough. What matters more is rinsing it off before rain — wet pollen bonds to the paint far more stubbornly.
Not necessarily. Calling +371 20 168 680 will tell you the current wait.
Open daily 08:00–20:00. No appointment needed, and the inspection and quote cost nothing.
