Smells problem
2004 Chevy Monte Carlo 62000 miles

I have taken my car more than three times to my deal complaining of gasoline and fumes that I smell coming from my car. They checked it out and say there is nothing leaking. Yesterday my neighbor was over and in my garage. He said the fumes are very strong and potentially dangerous. I am taking it to another deal tomorrow. Any idea on what could be going on? I have maintained it on schedule throughout the life of my car. I do not see anything leaking in my garage. Please advise...

You're leaking fuel vapors somewhere within the evaporative control system-get it smoke tested
