At what point would you recommend getting a camera serviced

When it's x-years old or
when it's done x-clicks and how many click would prompt you to have it serviced.

What will happen on a service

When it doesn't work good any more but at that time you will want a different camera any way.

I really wouldn't worry too much with DSLR only when you've troubles with it.

I would only consider getting a camera serviced* if it was ancient and valuable. No digital camera is ancient yet!

Pentax DSLRs are designed to last for at least 100,000 clicks with no routine servicing, by the way.

* Excluding repairs for damage.
