Hi, there are 2 adjustments of the handbrake on the LC Colorado, one at the lever by the drivers seat and the other on each brake it self.
I suspect the garage simply tightened up the lever adjustment nut and did not adjust the handbrake at the wheels as is the correct proceedure. The cable probably snapped as a result.
The Cable is in 2 parts, the main cable from the lever in the cab and then a link cable to the other wheel. The link cable would be an easy fix. Also the handbrake consists of shoes inside the rear brake discs, these are hard to see without dismantling the hub etc.
Have a look here for more info on the handbrake and its adjustment
