I bought a bike at the TREK Store in KC and their Tune-Ups are $70, nice thing is.... I get as many as one a month for free for 36 months, not to mention 10% of the cost of my bike back to buy accessories in the store.

depends, they have 3 levels (basic, standard, and overhaul?) I think it ranges from $19-140? Not really too sure.

My LBS gives free tune-ups for life on anything you buy there, whether it be a complete bike or, in my case, just random parts. I bought my Rolfs there and they re-laced them with lighter spokes a few years later. The spokes cost me, but the re-build was totally free.

^^ Agreed.
It actually takes less time in most cases to fix it at home than to drive back and forth to the shop.

labor free, parts at a discount, if you bought at least MOST of your stuff there.
Last time I took bikes in, it was $40 for labor & cables for a bike NOT purchased there, free for the bike from there.

I ride Kona, and the dealer where I get my bike will give you 2 free tune ups the first year, then after that, depending on what you want down, it can cost $35 up to $115.

Nope. But they do fight tooth and nail to get the parts covered under warranty if they can. I had a tire tread blow out on my Allez and they replaced my tire for free; tire had 400+ miles on it.
My LBS is a small mom & pop (thats it) bike shop.
