If immediately after an oil change it is definitely an overfill. They should fix the problem.

Can you send a pic of the dipstick level.
Car off.
Remove dipstick
Clean with paper towel
Reinsert dipstick
Remove and check level (take pic)

Empty extra oil.
Clean throttle body.
Sop up extra oil off inside top of engine under throttle body.
Clean MAF since you are there.

For spraying starter fluid, you can do it yourself. Spray. Jump in and press the power while foot is on the brake. Jump back out and additionally spray as needed.
