I have seen the procedure in the service manual for "deodorizing" the AC Evaporator. It involves spraying some stuff on there that kills the mildew and letting it dry.

So if they are only spraying stuff in the vents and NOT onto the evaporator (and maybe the heater core), I think they have a little more work to do.

I would also check the Cabin Air Filters and see what shape they are in.

Take Care,
