"It's way more prevalent of an issue with smells coming back in our vehicles smelling like weed," says Thad Szott, co-owner of Szott M-59 Toyota in Waterford. For Thad and his crew, they're having a hard time cleaning their rentals and loaners.
"The depreciation to the vehicle is real. I mean that's 5 to 10% differently when you can't get the smell out on a used car lot."
"It's a little more oily-based so that's one of the reasons it's a little harder to get out," Thad says. He says the smell is harder to remove than cigarette smell.
