Thats silly! The servicer is not going to get paid any more for replacing the A/C head for labor, even though it could take 15 minutes to properly adjust it. So they put in extra labor that they are not going to get paid for. And the head is just a few dollar item so what would be the point of cheating on that? Also Hitachi could ask for proof of purchase of the part or even ask that the part be sent to them for inspection. The manufacturers analyze the claims sent from their ASCs for anomalies in parts or labor and when they see a suspicious pattern they have their field rep drop in and ask questions and pick up warranty parts. They do that anyway on a random basis just to make sure nobody has figured out a way to beat the system. Once in a while they even run a sting warranty repair if they are suspicious.
