Bough Camry 2005 with leather
Previous owner was a heavy smoker
I changed a cabin air filter; car was washed inside, still some smell
Svc department the dialership told me they can change air-conditioning filter and a heater box for $ 200, 00
Is there an air-conditioning filter-? Can I do it myself, anything else I can do?
Thank you
It also helps to spray some Fridgi-Fresh or Fridgi-Freeze stuff on the cabin air filter and into the A/C condensor. It kills the odor causing bacteria. A local auto parts store should stock it. Might run you about $20 for a bottle of it.
I had a similar problem with a truck. I rented an ozone generator from a local rental shop. Looks like a medium-sized box, just plug it in and run it for a few hours inside the car. Also run the vents for awhile.
It was an AMAZING difference. I couldn't hardly stand to sit in the truck before I used this, afterword not even a hint of cigarette smoke. Cost about $25.
