I have a strong exhaust smell that seems to be coming into the car. Recently the garage cleaned out a filter regarding my heating system. Their were leaves all scattered in the car. Apparently it was blocked with leaves etc. They said the car air would clear up in a few days - but the smell of exhaust is still very strong.

You need to check the vents for fresh air. It is most probably not closed tightly. Ensure the air is set to recirulating.
