I believe its ok for a mechanic to perform unrequired work
Just to clarify the point so that no-one gets it wrong.
Is this work that the customer has not yet been talked into, after all, it's unrequired?
Is the customer charged for this unrequired work, if they say that they didn't want it done? After all, it's unrequired.
Maybe read it again properly.

I have in the past and if I ever work in a workshop in the future, I probably will still perform unrequired work, but my work will still be quality. Like it or hate it. If your car doesnt charge the battery and its just a loose fan belt. I would consult you and quote you for an alternator overhaul. If you agree I would overhaul it like new and fit a new fan belt. I would even tell you your belt was on its way out and I replaced it for free. Your happy, I made a job out of nothing and still did the quality work I charged you for. Same goes for startermotors and starter relays.
Make note of the words in bold for the blind.
NO dodgyness to be found.
You come in, I check it out and And tell you your battery isnt being charged. An Alternator overhaul will cost XXX amount. No coning or bullshitting to be seen. If you not happy, work is not conducted.
