Getting rid of interior smell?

A friend of mine is about to buy a Sienna, but he said inside, it really smells like insence and dried seafood (??).
1. Any local place around Vancouver/Richmond/Burnaby able to offer a cleaning service that would totally remove the smell?
2. Roughly, how much would this cost?

Ozonator? I'm actually looking into these services myself. Spilled some stanky liquid on the car seats.

My car smelled like dog and cigarettes....

So a few days ago, I decided to use a damp cloth and just wipe down the headliner(you will be amazed at how much dirt/oil/grime is in there) and oxyclean+damp cloth on the carpeted areas.....I was quick pleased with the results. Cheers.

I steam cleaned every piece of my interior, its 26 years years old. It smelled odd, but it made a HUGE difference when i steam cleaned. Had to get out a few times cause of the smell that came out of my seats and headliner, was like a mix a weed, cigarettes and sweat . Its actually alot better in there now

London drugs has this product called air sponge I think it's in a little plastic container and it absorbs bad odors. It's like 8 bucks and it works pretty good
