What would you expect a Water Heater tune-up to tune up? Make your water heater more efficient? Can't happen. Perhaps drain the tank? Ok. Drain your wallet? Yep!
My guess is that this is a totally deceptive ad and would challenge any company who offers this service to give a legitimate reason why this would be of value.

Have you checked your owner's manual? If you don't have a hardcopy even at 17 years old a manual should be online and not too hard to find. That should answer your questions about maintenance.
