Does your car ever smell after getting it serviced?

I had my car in for routine service. When I got it back it smelt like a sewer. I narrowed the smell down to the car seat that I was sitting on, it was horrible, smelt like a fart mixed in with sewer water. I rolled the windows down but it was of no use. Good thing I have a steam vac, I had to steamclean it for like a hour but finally got the smell out. I purchased a car seat cover and I put it on the car whenever I get it serviced now. If it happens again I can just clean the seat cover. It would have been terrible if I did not have that steam cleaner though.
 
Jerry: It *can't* be. Nobody has B.O. like this.
Elaine: Jerry. It's *B*.*O*.
Jerry: But the whole car smells.
Elaine: So?
Jerry: So when somebody has B.O., the "O" usually stays with the "B". Once the "B" leaves, the "O" goes with it.

Exactly what I was thinking of when I read the OP's post.

I don't know about you lot, but any reputable dealer in the UK uses plastic seat covers themselves when they have to do a service.
