GENUINE TOYOTA APPROVED S.E.T. SERVICERITE AC EVAPORATOR REFRESH KIT 00053-00008

I finally bit the bullet and bought this kit after months of a musty, moldy smell hitting me every time I turned on the AC, especially in the humid weather. The smell was getting pretty gross, honestly. The process itself was a bit of a pain because you have to get under the car to find the AC drain tube, which isn't the easiest thing to reach. But once I got the little hose adaptor in there and started spraying the foam, the instructions were straightforward. I was actually kind of amazed (and disgusted!) by the dark, brown junk that drained out it really showed how much buildup was in there. After letting it all drain and then running the second can of refresher spray through the vents as directed, the difference was huge. The musty smell is completely gone and replaced with a clean, somewhat strong industrial scent at first, but that fades after a day or two. It's been a few months now, and the air still smells fresh. It's not a permanent fix some people say you have to do it annually but it definitely works well for clearing out the immediate problem. It's a solid DIY job that saves you a ton compared to what the dealership charges for the same service. I'd highly recommend it if you're dealing with a nasty AC odor."

I was amazed how well this product was able to clean and disinfect my AC evaporator. The amount of junk that came out was disgusting and I am glad I purchased this product. At first the cleaning solution left a nice yet strong odor in my car, which I left in the garage over night with the windows down to allow it to vent out. It's been 4 months now and when I use my AC, there is still a nice smell inside the cabin. This product is well worth the price. Highly recommended.

So this product is intended to be used by someone qualified to service the evaporator in your car. After 1 week the smell from my evaporator is gone. It works well. The only issue that I had was that it does not come with the fitting to plug off the evaporator with the initial foam spray. I used mine from the mitt vac but if included with the kit would be a 5/5

Used for my 2013 FJ Cruiser. Did not have a bad smell coming from my vents but did it as part of a diy maintenance. The smell of this is strong but quickly vented out after 1-2 days. Smells fresh and peace of mind for me knowing I did this on my 12 year old vehicle. Liquid that drained from this treatment was like iced tea brown so I’m glad I did this. Will be adding this to my diy maintenance once a year.

works great

My truck was not equipped with a cabin air filter, so eventually the evaporator coil got a buildup of gunk over the 20+ years I’ve had it. Over the past few years I began to smell an odor like mold/mildew. I read a few online forums that explained what was happening and realized I was making things worse (at first). Basically, I kept my AC on recirculate because I thought it took the cold air in vehicle and made it colder… Well yes, and no. Yes, its designed to aid in cooling the vehicle faster, but not to be used in that mode continuously. Because I kept the recirculate button on the condensation didn’t have a way to dry out. That moisture mixed with the accumulation of debris on the evaporator coil caused a toxic hazard area inside my dashboard… Needless to say I replaced all of the effected parts and then applied the AC clean again and it worked as described. Note: Turn off the recirculating feature after vehicle gets to the desired temperature, and ALWAYS turn it off several minutes prior to turning the vehicle off to prevent those stinky odors from accumulating in the first place.

i bought a car for my daughter as a new driver. After they filled the air conditioner, a horrible smell occurred and lingered. After it being investigated by a garage who stated they would sell the car. The dealer who found nothing wrong. I investigated online and found a common issue with water being trapped causing mold and smell in the evaporator. I bought this product and followed online instructions. It was easy, showed LOTS of nasty stuff come from the cleaning. It has been months and no return of the smell, Worth every penny!

I purchased this product due to the observation of insufficient cooling in the air conditioning system of my SUV. Following the instructions provided with the product, I diligently performed the recommended steps, including the replacement of the cabin filter. I must express my satisfaction with the results, as the utilization of the product resulted in the removal of a significant amount of accumulated dirt and debris from the AC lines, thereby enhancing its overall functionality. Upon completion of the process, I went on a drive, during which I initially activated the air conditioning system while simultaneously rolling down the windows to facilitate the dissipation of any residual odors. Upon subsequently closing the windows, I was pleased to experience a remarkable improvement in the cooling performance, with the air blowing noticeably colder. It is pertinent to mention that the cleaning kit was successfully employed on a Lexus RX350 model.
