That 'repair' can be easily a problem. I am only saying that because where I live, there is a repair technician who plays brass instrument but fixes everything from flutes to saxes (and brass ones too).
I've seen his work and it was not so good.
A good tech needs to be able to play the instrument (or have a professional musician play it for him) in order to regulate the key/pad openings, springs tension, etc.
It is not difficult to check for leaks. The difficult part is to have balanced springs (like register and throat A keys), F#/C# that is not too tight but still hold air, craw foot adjusted, Lt. F/C lever regulated for quick and precise action.
I'd take it to a tech who can play it. Asking another player to test the instrument is not going to help you unless that player does some work on clarinets themselves.
