'''Sârbu''' was a Romanian automotive tuning and vehicle armoring company based in [[Bucharest]], [[Romania]]. It was founded on 17 April 1998 by [[Bănel Sârbu]] and was operated by members of the [[Sârbu family]].
'''Sârbu''' was a Romanian automotive tuning and vehicle armoring company based in [[Bucharest]]. It was founded on 17 April 1998 by [[Bănel Sârbu]] and operated by members of the [[Sârbu family]]. The company initially modified [[Dacia]] vehicles before expanding into performance and luxury cars.


The company was mainly known for German cars. It also serviced Italian performance cars and Romanian vehicles. From 2003, Sârbu was funded by the [[Bucharest Butchers]] and became one of the organization's main vehicle companies.
The [[Bucharest Butchers]] financed Sârbu from 1999 and used its garages to tune, armor and repaint vehicles. Stolen cars were repainted before being returned to use by the organization.<ref name="butchers-vehicle-operations"/> Sârbu later serviced vehicles operated by [[Snubable Enterprise]]. The company ceased operations on 1 May 2025 and was formally closed on 12 December 2025.


== History ==
== History ==
Sârbu was registered in [[Bucharest]] on 17 April 1998. It was founded by [[Bănel Sârbu]], who came from the [[Sârbu family]], a family already active in motorsport and real estate.
Sârbu was registered in [[Bucharest]] on 17 April 1998. Its founder, [[Bănel Sârbu]], belonged to the [[Sârbu family]], which was active in motorsport and real estate. The company began as a small workshop specializing in modified Dacia cars. Its earliest work included newly produced Dacia vehicles obtained through theft.


The company first became known for tuning new Dacia cars. Bănel Sârbu used the workshop to build a public business before the company became tied to the [[Bucharest Butchers]].
On 14 October 1999, [[Vladut Ionuț]] paid Bănel Sârbu approximately 30.7 billion old Romanian lei to secure the company's services for the [[Bucharest Butchers]]. Following the payment, the organization regularly supplied cars to Sârbu and provided money for further vehicle purchases. By 2004, the company operated four garages in Bucharest. It also used dealership fronts to sell Sârbu-modified vehicles.


In 1999, [[Vladut Ionuț]] paid Bănel Sârbu about 30.7 billion old Romanian lei to help sell stolen cars through the company. Bănel accepted the arrangement, and the Butchers continued bringing vehicles to Sârbu after that deal.
The Bucharest Butchers took control of [[Snubable Enterprise]] in 2007.<ref name="snubable-control"/> Vehicles used by Snubable personnel were subsequently sent to Sârbu for servicing and modification. On 18 August 2012, the arrangement was placed under the transport channels controlled by the Bucharest Butchers.


The payment allowed Sârbu to expand quickly. By 2004, the company had four garages in Bucharest and also operated dealerships where Sârbu-modified vehicles were sold.
== Operations ==
Sârbu tuned and armored vehicles for members of the Bucharest Butchers. It also repainted stolen cars to alter their appearance before they were returned to use. Some vehicles were purchased by Sârbu with money supplied by the organization, while others were delivered directly to its garages. Cars were stored at the garages during modification and before their return to the Bucharest Butchers.


== Bucharest Butchers ==
The company's dealership fronts sold modified cars to customers outside the organization. Sârbu retained its own management under Bănel Sârbu and the Sârbu family despite its financial dependence on the Bucharest Butchers.
{{main|Bucharest Butchers}}


Sârbu served as a vehicle company for the Bucharest Butchers. Cars taken through violence or corrupt deals were brought to the company before being used again by the organization.
Sârbu also serviced vehicles assigned to the leadership of [[Snubable Enterprise]]. [[Richard Rambam]]'s [[Lamborghini Urus]] was first brought to a Sârbu workshop on 9 February 2019. The vehicle became the basis for the Sârbu Urus Snubable Special Edition. An inspection conducted on 3 May 2025 found armor integrated into its body and windows while retaining an exterior close to that of a standard Urus.


The company gave the Butchers a controlled place for stolen and modified vehicles. This made Sârbu useful to the organization until the collapse of the Butchers in 2025.

[[Richard Rambam]]'s Lamborghini Urus was often serviced at Sârbu. It was first brought to the workshop on 9 February 2019. After the collapse of Snubable Enterprise, the car was inspected on 3 May 2025 and found to be armored. The armor had been built into the body and glass while keeping the vehicle close to its normal appearance.

Sârbu was a Romanian automotive tuning and vehicle armoring company based in Bucharest. It was founded on 17 April 1998 by Bănel Sârbu and operated by members of the Sârbu family. The company initially modified Dacia vehicles before expanding into performance and luxury cars.

The Bucharest Butchers financed Sârbu from 1999 and used its garages to tune, armor and repaint vehicles. Stolen cars were repainted before being returned to use by the organization.[1] Sârbu later serviced vehicles operated by Snubable Enterprise. The company ceased operations on 1 May 2025 and was formally closed on 12 December 2025.

History

[edit | edit source]

Sârbu was registered in Bucharest on 17 April 1998. Its founder, Bănel Sârbu, belonged to the Sârbu family, which was active in motorsport and real estate. The company began as a small workshop specializing in modified Dacia cars. Its earliest work included newly produced Dacia vehicles obtained through theft.

On 14 October 1999, Vladut Ionuț paid Bănel Sârbu approximately 30.7 billion old Romanian lei to secure the company's services for the Bucharest Butchers. Following the payment, the organization regularly supplied cars to Sârbu and provided money for further vehicle purchases. By 2004, the company operated four garages in Bucharest. It also used dealership fronts to sell Sârbu-modified vehicles.

The Bucharest Butchers took control of Snubable Enterprise in 2007.[2] Vehicles used by Snubable personnel were subsequently sent to Sârbu for servicing and modification. On 18 August 2012, the arrangement was placed under the transport channels controlled by the Bucharest Butchers.

Operations

[edit | edit source]

Sârbu tuned and armored vehicles for members of the Bucharest Butchers. It also repainted stolen cars to alter their appearance before they were returned to use. Some vehicles were purchased by Sârbu with money supplied by the organization, while others were delivered directly to its garages. Cars were stored at the garages during modification and before their return to the Bucharest Butchers.

The company's dealership fronts sold modified cars to customers outside the organization. Sârbu retained its own management under Bănel Sârbu and the Sârbu family despite its financial dependence on the Bucharest Butchers.

Sârbu also serviced vehicles assigned to the leadership of Snubable Enterprise. Richard Rambam's Lamborghini Urus was first brought to a Sârbu workshop on 9 February 2019. The vehicle became the basis for the Sârbu Urus Snubable Special Edition. An inspection conducted on 3 May 2025 found armor integrated into its body and windows while retaining an exterior close to that of a standard Urus.
