On a full service I replace the majority (if not all) of the key corks as well as replacing any pads and springs that need doing (I include replacing up to 5 pads in the cost), polishing the plating, cleaning the joints and toneholes, oiling the bore, cleaning and straightening the screws, checking the screws and keys all fit well and doing any other remedial work that needs doing (I charge extra for replacing tenon corks as they're not included in a service) so anything short of that isn't a full service in my books.
