Hello and thank you for using JustAnswer. My name is \*\*\*\*\* \*\*\*\*\* I will do my best to assist you.. I help many customers, so sometimes my replies are delayed, I will respond once available. During this conversation you will be given an automated offer for a phone call. You may accept or decline that offer.I don’t personally offer this service so if you take this another tech may call. depending on how bad it is the seats will prob need to be taken out and carpets and seats shampooed clean. that usually does the trick, theres tons of videos on youtube about it also a ozone machine works well to get rid of remaining odors

Hey so I just took out the removable carpets and scrubbed them with shampoo in the shower. I put baking soda on the carpet inside the car. What else should I do?
Automotive Expert
you will need to get a carpet cleaner and do the same thing to the carpet in the vehicle and treat the seats depending on what material they are. they best way is to pull all the seats

Ok
Automotive Expert
yes

I own a 2002 Pontiac Grand Am. My alternator went out, had it replaced. Now my car has a hard shift and the trac off light is on??
You will need to have the computer scanned for additional stored codes for the traction control and may need to have the throttle control relearned to have the vehicle shift correct.
