Hubs are among the longest lasting components on bikes. 3,000 miles is slightly beyond break in, and with decent (not obsessive) care hubs can and should last 30-50,000+ miles.
Typically my hubs don't see any service at all for 5,-10,000 miles, or one full season including winter riding (2 seasons if not ridden during winter).
