If he cleaned your engine, look for loose vacuum hoses and electrical connectors. Everytime I change my alternator I find that my AC doesn't work. It's easy to disconnect things accidentally. In the case of the alternator, I tend to disconnect the connection to the AC compressor clutch.

umm I would have said not to wash the engine. Usually results in problems
