You should ask the mechanic if he DID bleed the brakes. It is possible that the low master cylinder location allows lines to be changed without bleeding. Note - I DO NOT think that this would be a good idea, just a possibility.

If you do ask him to bleed the brakes again, offer to help him, that way you can watch him.

If you do not want him to do the job, find a good mechanic that you trust and have him redo the WHOLE job. A lot of things can be messed up changing brake lines.
