Maintenance/Repairs

Hi so I have a 2010 f150. I recently got full brake service (replaced pads, resurfaced rotors, disassembled and reassembled calipers, etc.) Well I’ve driven about 1000 miles since having it all done. That’s when my caliper seized up no where near a shop. It was also the only caliper they replaced a bracket and slide pins on. I had to pay for an expensive tow and I’m wondering if it could have been caused from the work that was done. Or do I have any grounds to insinuate it’s a result from being worked on. I really don’t trust it was done correctly but I don’t want to make that claim if it is not justified. Thank you.

Edit: slide pins we’re seized upon initial inspection. Replaced along with caliper bracket when brakes initially serviced.
