Answer
depends on what kind of brakes they were if they were not volvo I would not use them.

the stalling may be the throttle body needs cleaned and adjusted properlyI would start with that first

I would find another volvo guy.if there is no freon in the system there must be a leak if there is freon in it then there could be an electrical problem.it should really be looked at for a proper diagnosis.I would find someone else to maybe look at it.
