The company operates according to international standards and high technology equipment. The expert and experience staff offers exclusive and unique services for the good maintenance and cleaning of the car.

One of the most important developments since the company's formation was the conception and development of a completely new and unique service provided to people traveling abroad via Larnaca Airport. This is a car storage service provided by the company and now widely known and marketed under the business name of Karydas Drive & Fly. This service was first introduced and market tested in November 1997 while following a period of product development and refinement the new service was officially launched in April 1998. Being a completely new service that revolves around something that Cypriots regard as very personal- their car- the company managed to develop a very good reputation and be trusted in safekeeping the traveler's cars and providing the airport car parking services.
