Sekal is correct, service centers are not required to inform a customer of road tests. Road tests should be expected, they're part of the quality control process. It's how you prevent comebacks for concerns that could have been uncovered the first time the car was in.

Say a vehicle is brought into the shop to have a bulb replaced. Customer has bad control arm bushings but hasn't noticed the vehicle feels like it's floating. If the customer got into an accident because of said bushings and decided to sue the service center for not letting her know (which they'd have had to road test it to do) they would win the lawsuit.

See above.
