Hello everyone,

My car AC is smelling very bad. After researching on line i found out it is because of some bacteria and fungus that is been collected on the filter.

Can anybody tell me where i can get it cleaned. I am looking for a reasonable place . i know the showroom guys will charge me too much. its Dodge Charger 2009 model.

Regards..

If the evaporator leaks there are chances of bad smell. It happened in my car once. This is very rare. Sometimes even ac ducts cleaning will help.

If you buy a non-original filter which is usually available with most car A/C technicians, the cost would be even lower. You may have the entire job done within a 100 riyals.

Most car A/C technicians can do it. There are so many of them around in Doha especially in Sinaiyah. You can find one also at Garage Street in Bin Mehmood. Possibly, your filter is very old and needs replacement. It is a small job and should not cost you much.

Just go to any garage on selwa road or woqood and they will do it for 10 ryals to blow it with air, or the only other option is to change a new which i would do, health before wealth as breathing in bacteria and mold is very unhealthy.
