Default bad car smell?

K, I've noticed this, but never really thought it of nothing. My car smells like something is burning. I believe it is coming from under the head. First, my aunt told me my car is smelling. Then, my grandma told me the same thing. Anyone know what it could be? I just recieved my car from the shop. 1300 for a tranny rebuild and free new battery, but he didnt say anythig about the smell.

Give it awhile, they could have got transmission fluid on something, which is causing a smell once the engine warms up.

Did you recently get a oil change? could be just a few drops of oil on your Catconv. or on one of the pipes that is just burning away....it goes away if thats the case,

after your finished driving pop it open and see if tehre is smoke comming from anywhere.

lol what exactly does it smell like??? if you dont mind telling us.

Maybe if its mildue or damp seats/floor mats you might want scented foam carpet cleaner that you rub in or if its the furniture, AXE bodyspray on the seats...Do not use TAG, I hate TAG. lol

lol. the inside smells too, but its because of the engine bay. after driving the car, if you stand outside next to the front end, you can smell a burning smell. this smell seeps through into the a/c and goes into the inside.
