Even a basic maintenance visit will earn you another year of the service.

Might schedule an oil change after I'm done with all the engine mods... wonder how the techs would respond to a twin turbo M117

Probably not actually in the terms. I called my concierge and said I needed a tow truck to come to x address and take my car home, and she said they'd cover it under roadside. I do have a pretty good relationship with how often I call in and book things through them.
