Kill the Smell at the Source

Ozone treatment that removes odor — not masks it. From $80.

Car Odor Removal in Edmonton

Shik Detail removes set-in car odors — smoke, spills, pets and that musty used-car smell — with deep interior cleaning plus an ozone treatment that neutralizes odor at the source. It starts at $80 and we come to you. Unlike an air freshener, ozone breaks down the molecules causing the smell rather than covering them up.

How ozone odor removal works

Ozone treatment fills the cabin with ozone (O3), which oxidizes and breaks down the compounds that cause odors — in upholstery, vents and the headliner — where sprays can't reach. We pair it with a deep clean of the source (the spill, the ash, the residue), because ozone neutralizes smell but doesn't remove the mess creating it. A standard treatment runs up to 30 minutes for $80.

What it can and can't fix

Honesty matters here. Ozone is excellent for smoke, cooking, pet and general musty odors. It's most effective once the source is cleaned out, so heavy cases may need an interior detail first. Strong, deeply soaked-in odors can take more than one treatment, and we'll tell you up front if that's likely rather than overpromising.

Works well: cigarette/cannabis smoke, food and milk spills, pet smell, musty/used-car odor
Needs cleaning first: visible spills, ash, biological messes, mold
May need repeat treatment: heavy long-term smoke

What it costs

An ozone/odor treatment is $80 for up to 30 minutes. For best results on heavier odors, we recommend pairing it with an interior detail (from $225) so the source is removed and the cabin is sanitized, not just deodorized. GST is extra.

Car Odor Removal FAQ

We clean the source — ash, residue and nicotine film — then run an ozone treatment that oxidizes the smoke molecules trapped in upholstery, vents and the headliner. Light to moderate smoke usually clears in one session; heavy, long-term smoke can need a repeat treatment.
Yes, when done properly. Ozone dissipates back into normal oxygen after treatment, and we ventilate the vehicle before returning it. We'll let you know how long to wait before driving. It treats the air and soft surfaces without leaving a chemical residue.
Usually, yes. Musty used-car and pet odors respond well to a clean-plus-ozone approach. If the smell is in soaked-in spills or heavy pet hair, we'll recommend an interior detail or pet-hair removal first so the treatment has the best chance to fully clear it.
