Bikes: 2012 Giant Escape, 199? Specialized HardRock

First Free Tuneup

Picked up a 2012 Giant Escape 2 around the end of september which as of yesterday has 250 miles on it. After my first 20 mile ride, I noticed the wheels were out of true enough to rub the brake pads when I spin them. Im just wondering if my bike shop will true the wheels during the first "free tune up" or do I have to pay extra for wheel truing. I dont recall this happening so fast on my last bike shop bike, (1980 Schwinn Varsity) as a matter of fact, it never needed a "tune up" for as long as I owned it. Can I expect these wheels to require truing every 250 miles, this dont seem right or is this expected from an entry level bike shop bike. BTW, I weigh 155lbs and dont jump curbs or anything and other than the out of true wheels, love the bike.
