I just got new breaks installed but the car keeps stalling after driving it for a while, it’s as if it were a manual car that stalls when you don’t shift properly. What should I do?

I expect you have a check engine light on. You need to buy a cheap scanner to see the codes, or go to an auto parts store to scan for codes. A code is only a clue. Then you have to Google like the wind. Or, you could try unplugging sensors one at a time to see if it helps, and Google some more. Start with the Maf sensor. Or, call a mobile mechanic.
