Tracy’s Automotive can help you if your auto air conditioner needs service or repair.

You were driving home from the Surge game when you smelled something musty. You finally tracked it down to your auto air conditioner.

“‘What you’re probably smelling is the condensation that comes from the evaporator inside your heating and cooling system,’ says Jake Fisher, Consumer Reports’ senior director of auto testing. ‘Basically, water collects in that area and, if it sits long enough, creates the musty smell.’

“Most of the water is meant to exit your car via the evaporator drain under the bottom of the vehicle. You’ve probably seen a small puddle of water under the bottom of your car on a hot, humid day, Fisher says. But sometimes some of it collects in the evaporator, and if it sits in there for a while, bacteria and mold are going to form and you’re going to smell it in the cabin of the car.”

Consumer Reports says you can likely cure the problem by spraying disinfectant into your car’s plenum, “a box that connects to your HVAC system, and the intake can be found at the base of your windshield where your wipers are located.” Changing your air filter can also help. 

If that doesn’t work, or you don’t want to do the chore yourself, it’s time to call the Wichita auto air conditioner specialists at Tracy’s Automotive.

Tracy’s Automotive is here to help you. If you don’t have time or feel you can take your car to the shop, Tracy’s Automotive will pick it up at your home or work. Then, after your car is serviced or repaired, Tracy’s Automotive will bring it back to you thoroughly cleaned.
