new bike, worth getting wheels retensioned immediately?

Got myself a new commuter bike.

Alex ID19 rims, 14G spokes, Shimano 2200 hubs. 32 spokes front and rear.

Heard a couple of pings from the wheels when I took it around the block.

Worth $40 for the local lbs to check the wheels before I start commuting to lower the chances of busted spokes, or should I wait a bit and bring them in after a couple of hundred miles?

Both of my last bikes were used and had already gone through a break-in period. Never touched the wheels in 15+ years. so this new bike things is, err, new to me.
