Are mechanics required to check calipers when they do a brake job?

A mechanic working on a break mechanism (or any sub system) has a duty of care to ensure that the mechanism on which he is working is fit for use. I would have thought that the state of /adjustment of the break calipers would certainly be part of this care. If the calipers were faulty, then at the very least this would have to be reported to the owner/driver and one may perhaps reasonably expect these to be adjusted/fixed as part of a break job.

== == Sounds like you have a leak somewhere in your brake system. Fill the master cylinder with brake fluid and bleed off all four calipers. Once you have brakes again check the system for leaks at the calipers, master cylinder and along the brake lines.
