People don't service them. The hub was designed for 50,000km with
zero service. Bike shops can't service them. You can send the
hub back to Germany for service. The hub needs to be removed from
the wheel for service (no spokes, no rim).
Peter White's page tells that story, in his inimitably wordy
style. Here's a link to his page:

I own three Schmidt hubs and have never had them serviced. I own
two Shutter Precision hubs and have never had them serviced.
Bill's right for most SON hubs re: unlacing. However, the intermediate
years of SON20/28 (single color, big barrel) need to be laced into a
wheel to disassemble. I know because I was going to send mine back for
service due to a chirp that developed. It never got worse and comes
and goes to this day, so I never actually did it, in part because of
shipping both ways.
I've had two SONs serviced by Peter White. Neither required being
removed from the wheel. "Servicing" involved replacing everything but
the hub shell: new bearings, new windings, new everything. $65 each,
not counting shipping - which wasn't all that bad.
