Am I right in thinking bike shops would like us to bring complete bikes in for a service including fitting some new parts maybe once a year?

I did that. Spent about a third of the cost of the bike on various things including a new wheel and some mud guards. The brakes haven't felt right ever since (someone has suggested there might be air in them?), need to go back.

They also put my old inner tube on the new wheel inside the new tyre. Which already had a path on and then failed shortly after. Kind of annoyed about that.

For every you, there are several "they replaced and charged me for a new inner tube even though the old one was fine", so it's a tough gig. The only reason they haven't put a new tube in is to try and save you money, it's easier for us to put a new one in!
