Vehicle have bad smell or visible mold, Or maybe just a lot of Condensation?

Bacteria, along with mold and fungi, flourish in the build-up of condensation produced by a car’s air conditioning system.

This means more motorists than ever are at risk, as the number of new cars fitted with air conditioning reaches record levels.

The AA has been conducting its own investigation and their Head of Technical Policy John Stubbs, has said that:

“Air conditioning needs regular servicing by technicians who know what they are doing and who use manufacturer recommended biocides to clean out the system properly.”

Vehicle owners need to be certain that the air conditioning system is purged properly, or the problems such as bacteria and mold can return.

The majority of car manufacturers recommend that air conditioning units should be cleaned professionally at least once a year with a special disinfectant treatment.

Treatment usually takes about 30 minutes.

Have you noticed musty or foul odours or have you suffered from sore throats, flu-like symptoms or allergic reactions when spending time in your car?

If so, this could be caused by the year round build up of germs, bacteria, mould, spores and fungi within your air-conditioning/ventilation system.

During summer or winter your vehicle’s A/C and heating system will generate condensation. Which is a perfect breeding ground for germs, bacteria, spores, mould and fungi.

We strongly suggest this service alongside your annual A/C servicing!
