Understand the repair
What this service does
Our odour removal service goes beyond masking scents by attacking the molecular source of the smell. We utilize specialized equipment to neutralize bacteria and mold spores hidden deep within the upholstery and ventilation system. This process ensures a truly clean and healthy breathing environment for all passengers.

From inspection to finish
How the work is carried out
Inspect and identify
We perform a deep thermal fogging or ozone treatment to reach areas that manual cleaning cannot. This gas penetrates deep into seat foam and air ducts to kill odor-causing bacteria.

Repair the confirmed fault
Technicians steam clean the headliner and pillars where smoke and airborne odors often settle. We use minimal moisture to avoid sagging the fabric glue.

Check the result
The vehicle is thoroughly ventilated and a fresh cabin filter is recommended for installation. We conduct a final 'sniff test' to ensure the air quality meets our standards.
The exact procedure depends on your vehicle and inspection findings. A technician confirms the work before repair.
Why it matters
Persistent odors are often a sign of mold or bacteria, which can cause respiratory issues for occupants. Ignoring these smells allows them to become permanently embedded in the car's trim.
Before you drive
Keep your interior dry and avoid leaving damp items in the car overnight.
