A/C Evaporator

The a/c evaporator is located in the dash of our cars so I'm curious how the dealer diagnosis such a failure/leak without physically seeing it?

I recently took my 335i to the dealer for service and was informed that the evaporator needed replacing due to a leak at a cost of $2,800, which is mostly labor for removal and reinstallation of the dash. Given that replacement of the unit it so labor intensive, I'm confused as to how this issue could be diagnosed without removal of the dash which makes me very skeptical about agreeing to pay for the repair.

Any info would be greatly appreciated.
