When replacing a head gasket would a mechanic ever re-use the exhaust gaskets?

I had my head gasket replaced on my 2001 Subaru Forester about 2 months ago, and just had to go back yesterday to find out that my exhaust gaskets were leaking. Wouldn't that be part of any gasket kit? And would a mechanic ever re-use old gaskets when doing such a big job?

The exhaust gaskets on your engine are quite high quality and can usually be reused (except in the states where salt is used on the roads in winter) with no leaks. They are not automatically included in any Subaru factory head gasket "kit".
The fact that they apparently were not leaking initially when you first got the car back suggests improper tightening of the nuts securing the exhaust system.
To replace the gaskets should take about 20 minutes and no more leaks.
