I searched the forums to see what people said about tune ups and this thread (though older) seems to address the issue and I just want to confirm that you all agree - no need to get a tune-up after some number of miles unless there are issues. If that is right, I will do it at some point later in the summer or before next Spring. Does this make sense?

Thanks for the help in advance.
My LBS told me to bring in my road bike after the first 100 miles, and X number of miles after that... I can't remember what they said, but I was surprised it was so few... and they provide them for free.

The LBS where I bought my hybrid recommended once a year.

Personally, if it doesn't cost anything, it's worth taking it in, they may notice things out of whack before it starts to affect the ride.
