Depends on the laws in your state

It's also not uncommon for them to tell you that your car needs all this work because mechanics generally get paid on flatrate, so they're always trying to get more work. A lot of mechanics double dip on labor hours. Replace a brake caliper and get a brake flush. Well, they already had to bleed the brakes when they did the caliper and they're not going to bother bleeding all four, they'll just put clean fluid in the reservoir and you'll never know.
