Theft Recovery Interior Detailing
When cars are recovered they tend to have been lived in for a week or months. Most of what we see are cars that have little to no damage but are complete BIO hazards inside. The abandoned contents range from other stolen personal items to needles, blood, urine, old food remnants, cigarette butts, and just really stinky in general. A strong percentage of people feel so violated that they want to just total their car. Unless law enforcement has emptied out the vehicle, we recommend that the contaminated contents be left in place for us to dispose of.
A strong percentage of these theft recovery’s have had some form of drug use. We Offer Drug testing on all vehicles if needed. This service is not mandatory but very informative on the types of drugs used, saturation levels through out the interior and allows insurance companies to determine if the vehicle will be a total loss.
Autobella sees approximately eight to fifteen theft recoveries per week presently. Most of these resemble the same pattern. Stinky, dirty and full of junk.
Our detailing method is modified from the traditional interior detail as we use Active enzymes combined with an Ozone Treatment. Using both of these significantly helps remove the bacteria and odor that the other stinky human has left behind. Give us a call or drop an email if you have any further questions. We also provide Interior repairs & glass installation.
Anticipate significant amounts of drug residue will be found. Don’t be alarmed. Autobella’s BIO specialists can decontaminate your vehicle to remove all traces of the hazardous drug substances.
The vehicle decontamination process typically takes 1-3 days depending on:
- extent of disassembling vehicle parts needed to access all effected areas
- the substances detected during the initial inspection
- extent of cleaning required
- reassembly of the vehicle parts
A complete vehicle decontamination happens in 3 stages:
- Removing all items from the vehicle including weapons, sharps, drug paraphernalia, junk, and personal items
- Sanitizing to neutralize and eliminate the illicit drugs, any bloodborne pathogens, bodily fluids, and other risk hazards
- Cleaning using extensive rigorous procedures to guarantee there are no traces left behind
- Ozone will destroy microorganisms such as; Bacteria, viruses, molds, allergens, pathogens, coli, salmonella, listeria, staphylococcus
- Ozone Destroys odors from fire, smoke, tobacco, pets, skunks, sewage, spoiled food, urine, body odor, death, water damage, fire, and much, much more!
Not only is the decontamination process essential for removing dangerous items, sanitizing and deep cleaning remove any leftover hidden drug residue that can affect you. This is the best detailing your vehicle will ever receive.
Portland will likely end 2021 with more car thefts than any year since 1995
