Will have to take it back to him tomorrow.
If your handbrake was that good before it went in for work, I would say that the rear shoes haven't been adjusted properly.

I'm sure the garage would have done this but I always slacken the handbrake cable right back first, adjust the shoes & then re-adjust the handbrake cable.
