Wow - I'm impressed! In my experience, the first 30-day going-over (and adjustments) is free, but other services are not. Of course if you pay for a tune-up or an overhaul and something isn't right, that is covered, but maintenance on an ongoing basis isn't. Or maybe your (or their) definition of maintenance is different than mine. To me, basic maintenance is not just putting air in the tires and making sure the chain is lubed, the bike is clean, etc., but also tuning up the bike (adjusting derailleur, brakes, cables, etc.). Guess you should count yourself lucky!
