What would you do?

I second Susan's recommendation exactly! If they can't tell if its in tune or out, chances are they are not going to care if it is 5 cents sharp in summer and 5 cents flat in winter - but it will be in tune with itself better because you are not doing pitch raises/lowerings every time you service the piano.
