I'd put it back in the hands of whoever "fixed" the machine and have them deal with it. It's not right that you should be stuck with this issue after paying for a repair, and not only that, but if you modify it further, you might void your warranty with the person/company if there is one.

I'd remove the memory and battery while testing, and make sure you're using an 85W AC adapter (Pros can have problems with 60W adapters that are meant for MacBooks).

You could try to determine if a fan is defective by swapping the fans and seeing if the behavior changes, i.e. if the "good" fan starts behaving the same way the "bad" one does. The fans may not fit in the opposite spots, but you could test them with the topcase loose, and without fully seating the fans in their positions. If the "good" fan behaves and is not on high while in the opposite spot, it may be that the "bad" fan is in fact "bad", and needs replacement. And if the "good" fan behaves like the "bad" one, then likely the fans are fine and you're dealing with some other issue.
I'd also recommend blowing out the fans and everything under the topcase with canned air. Sometimes dust in the wrong places can cause problems, and things do tend to get shifted around when a repair occurs.
