About Auto Cardan

More than 20 years of experience in high-quality cardan shaft repair and manufacturing.

Auto Kardāns was founded in 1999 in Aizkraukle, Latvia. From the very beginning, the Auto Kardāns team has been manufacturing and repairing drive shafts for various vehicles, using the latest production technologies and original parts in line with the highest modern quality standards. This is further proven by the choice of Paris-Dakar rally drivers, who have successfully conquered the legendary desert race using our manufactured drive shafts.

In 2012, Auto Kardāns became an international company and was renamed Auto Cardan. At the same time, a branch was established in Estonia to provide high-quality services to vehicle owners and users in Estonia and Finland.

The company’s team continually enhances their knowledge and skills through various international training programs. Great attention is given to equipping specialists with modern technologies and technical equipment.
