lol... old combo (clutch install, and you get lights unrelated, and mechanic say something unrelated to all that caused the lights) 
Did he only do a clutch install? Also, did you change tire/wheels? Something doesnt add up right. The check engine light could be on do to an O2 sensor, but not the brake, abs inop, ect. Sounds like he disconnected something and forgot to connect it back.

I'd have the guy who worked on it straighten it out. If that's not an option, I'd start checking all your grounds, lots of weird crap can happen with a poor ground connection.

Take the car to your local autoparts store, have them run the diagnosis and get the code information and report back with the code. Then we can find out whats going on. It honestly sounds like something may have been left unhooked bc if you are getting brake lights and TCS light, its almost too coincidental that they all came on together.

I get those lights anytime I get on the highway and do OVER 72mph for 5 minutes. They will stay on till I turn the key off, then back on. For me, its because I have slightly different sized tires in the rear. When driving in the city they will never come on and all systems work perfectly.
At highway speeds though...the sensors try to figure out the different sized tires and can't, then those lights come on.
Other thing that will put all those lights on at the same time...any wheel speed sensor goes out or is failing.
Other thing....changing tire size.
Maybe there's something with M6 cars and the clutch that the mechanic messed up.
But for him to even think that an 02 sensor going out can cause those lights to come on...what a moron. 02 sensors have nothing to do with those systems. He needs to fix whatever he did. But there is also the SLIGHT chance a sensor has failed coincidentally......at the same time. Pretty slim chance of that though.
