How to Choose an LPG Installer: Certification & Quality

Since 2023, all LPG conversions in Estonia must be registered with the Transpordiamet (Transport Administration). This isn’t just a recommendation; it’s a legal requirement. Choosing the right installer is crucial, not only for safety and performance but also to ensure your vehicle complies fully with these new regulations.

Mandatory Registration & Documentation

A professional installer provides all certified paperwork needed for Transpordiamet registration, a process that starts from 120 EUR. Without these essential documents, your conversion cannot be legally registered, potentially leading to issues with vehicle inspections or resale. GBO Eesti has been providing comprehensive LPG solutions from our Tallinn location at Magasini tn 31b since 2014, ensuring every installation meets current regulations and includes all necessary documentation for a smooth registration process.

Choosing the Right System & Components

The system’s reliability depends on quality components, perfectly matched to your engine. We use trusted brands like Alex, AC Stag, Lovato, Landi Renzo, Digitronic, and Tomasetto. These components are chosen for their proven durability and performance, ensuring your system operates efficiently for years.

For most vehicles, a 4th generation sequential injection system is common and effective, offering a balance of performance and economy. However, modern direct injection engines (GDI/TSI/FSI) or turbocharged cars require a more advanced 6th generation liquid-phase injection system. This ensures seamless integration and optimal fuel delivery without compromising engine performance. Crucially, any system from the 4th generation onwards includes at least two safety levels, an automatic gas shut-off in case of an accident or system fault, and a multivalve for secure LPG storage and delivery. These are fundamental safety features.

Turnkey Installation & Pricing

A ‘turnkey’ installation means we manage the entire conversion process, from initial assessment to final registration. This includes carefully selecting and installing certified parts, meticulous system configuration, and providing all necessary technical documents for official Transpordiamet registration. It’s a complete, ready-to-use service, designed to get you on the road with LPG quickly and confidently.

Installation costs vary by engine size and chosen package. For 3-4 cylinder cars, options range from Econom at 900 € to Premium at 1600 €. For 5-6 cylinder engines, Standart starts at 1300 €, with Premium at 1650 €. Even 8-cylinder vehicles have tailored options: Standart at 1600 € and Premium at 1900 €. You can view a full breakdown of our installation prices and what each package specifically includes.

Comprehensive Support & Significant Savings

A quality installation is just the start of your LPG journey. You need confidence in ongoing support, including maintenance, repair, and diagnostics. At GBO Eesti, both repair work and diagnostics are charged at a transparent hourly rate of 40 €. Regular check-ups are essential for keeping your system running efficiently, safely, and extending its lifespan, preventing minor issues from becoming costly repairs. We also offer dismantling services if needed.

LPG conversion typically saves 35-45% on fuel costs. LPG is roughly half the price of petrol per litre. While consumption is about 10-15% higher by volume, the financial benefits are substantial, leading to a payback period of 10-18 months. High-mileage drivers, like taxis or delivery vehicles, often see even faster returns on their investment.
