Reads mostly as an inspection, they don't do chain cleaning/lube but they do lube other stuff like BB, maybe a little squirt of grease in the rear derailleur if needed. All in all not a bad deal since they do it all for a flat fee of 150 up front for the next 5 years of 'unlimited' tune ups.
Is it common to not include chain cleaning/lube for that price? Like you said, it's mostly an inspection. The chain seems pretty important. I mean, it's quite possible that none of those other things need any attention, but if you've been riding the bike at all, the chain will almost certainly need cleaned/lubed.
