Back up holding the brake pedal part down and give it a few shots as your backing up this is how you can set brakes it doesnt seem as though the mechanic set the ratchets on the rear cylinders they wont hold if there not adjusted if youve had them done within the last 30 days then the tech has to redo it for free

Bmrfixit is right as your work warranty will be void if you do anything mechanically to it
