Warning lights on dash after MOT!

Hello
I’ve just picked up my car from MOT and servicing. It had repairs done including the engine, passed MOT after this.
After driving for around 10 minutes the service light came on, along with the “check engine” and “check emissions” warnings!

Having asked a family member they said they just need to reset the cars service button. I did try doing it myself but it didn’t work.
Can anyone reassure me that the car is actually fine and it’s just that they haven’t reset it properly?
They’re now closed until Monday so can’t phone until then.

Emissions light could be a dirty/faulty sensor. It seems unlikely to be a genuine issue but should go back on Monday to check.

A service and an MOT are different so maybe it also needs a service.

Could be a tota coincidence that the engine and emissions light have came on just after the MOT.

How could anyone here reassure you of that, much as we would like to?
The service personnel need to plug it in and read what the error message is then reset it.
It probably is innocent or minor, but it needs to go back to the garage first thing.

SnaccidentsHappen She said in the OP it’s been serviced.

This happened to me and I just had to take it back to be reset.
