What was leaking? Does it (rad reservoir?) leak after you corrected the
overfill?

New brakes need to set. Once the pads have set and cured, they might be
just fine.

Make things easy on yourself and get a tire gauge and pump and do this
yourself. You might also consider getting a breaker bar and a 19mm socket
to tighten (or loosen/retighten) the lugnuts. Don't bother with the wrench
that came with the car if you're the easily frustrated type. Getting a
torque wrench to correctly torque the lugnuts is also a good idea. This way
you can be sure it is done correctly, can rotate your own tires, not get
stranded somewhere with an overtightened lugnut. Do these things and you
can eliminate a lot of the sources of frustration of being dependent on
other people to do basic things right.
