Is it a rotten egg smell. If it is, then that is sulfar, could be a bad seal, or the gas you are using.

If it smells like a cat pee'd in your car... Changing the AC filter should straight you out.

I'm about to hit 15K soon. How much did you pay? I heard that 15K you pretty much only require oil change? the rest are full of craps?
as the other member posted, you can just change the A/C filter.. heard it's pretty simple... I gotta buy the parts first and try it myself.. but let me know
how much you paid for the 15K service and is it worth it?

If it's a mildewy smell (from keeping your AC on), turn the heater on at full blast at highest temp for 10 minutes. It "kills" that mildew smell.
