The chances of the facility getting caught in such a scheme is remote. It takes a diligent crew with sophisiticated equipment to positively prove that the service was not performed.
I'd avoid every one of the chains like the plague.

Well, if you don't know, find a way around it. What I don't know, I have people in the know to vet the answers. That or I find a way to make you accountable. I went to the hospital when I was injured. Doctor (if we can call him that) said I had a strained hip. Didn't want to do anything else. Called wife who was trauma trained and she talked to him. Finally she told me to STFU and get out of there. Went to her hospital and diagnosed by her friends to have broken bones in 3 places and urine bleeding and they ran a CAT scan on me. With my cars, I have several people I can call on to help me out in exchange for other favors. With my house, my friend had a contractor that ripped him off. I told my contractor that I could pay for it in cash but the money was coming from my parents overseas. Well, we agreed on me paying $3000 in interest and he would build it for me. I would accept it only if I got the money. IOW, if house sucks, my parents (the heavy) wouldn't give me a penny. My friend's father is a retired contractor to verify that it was good. These are the things I do to try to keep my butt virginal.
Or if you verify what they are doing or make sure they have a stake in the matter.
I use Jiffy lube all the time. When it is too cold and my truck won't fit in the garage I get them to do the service. I watch like a hawk. I also have a couple of them who are on my personal payroll so we do it after hours.
