You smoked in the car for years, and now something has changed.
You smoked in the car for years, and now something has changed. You quit, a partner or baby is moving in, the lease is ending or you want a better resale price. In Toronto, a smoking history shows up in the smell, the sticky film on the glass and the yellowed headliner. Each of those is removable, but it takes the right order of steps.
We start by removing what holds the smell: ashtray residue, ash in vents and the film coating the windows, dash and door panels. Then we shampoo the carpets and seats, wipe the headliner gently and deodorize. Drivers near Bay Street Corridor who are switching to smoke-free often want the whole job done in one visit. We also clean the vents and the area around the ashtray and cupholders, where tar and ash collect and keep releasing smell.
Where smoke has soaked in deeply, an ozone treatment follows the cleaning to break down remaining odour. The cabin air filter is also a major reservoir of smoke smell, so replacing it helps. We will tell you honestly how much improvement to expect, since a long smoking history may leave a trace. Keeping the windows open for a day after the treatment helps.
A clean, neutral cabin also helps a sale or lease return, where smoke odour can lower the value. We come to your driveway or garage with our own equipment, and we are open 24/7. Call or text us with how long and how heavily the car was smoked in, and we will plan for your car in Toronto.

Old Toronto is a mix of downtown condo towers with underground garages, semi-detached and row houses with no driveway at all, and leafy streets in areas like Leaside and the Annex where cars sit on permit street parking, so we plan around a garage level, a laneway or a curb spot rather than assuming a driveway.
Heavy road salt and slush from November through March leave white film on lower panels, wheel wells and carpet mats, especially on cars parked outside on the street. Spring brings pollen and tree sap, and the lake air and downtown construction dust settle on paint all year.
Driving a car across downtown to a shop means congestion on the Gardiner or DVP, expensive parking and a long wait without your vehicle. A mobile detailer works at your condo garage, office lot or curb, so the car stays where you live and work.
We regularly work in Bay Street Corridor, Main Square and O'Connor-Parkview, and every other part of Toronto.
