Tyre rotation during services

Greetings All,
We got our RX-8 serviced at 60,000km the other day and the tyre report on the service sheet said 2mm left on the rear and 4mm left on the front.
I thought they were going to rotate the tyres at the service but that wasn't the case so now I have to arrange someone else to do it and spend some time in a tyre shop.
My question is - do any of you (and this is for the Aussies) get your tyres rotated at service time as normal ?
It might not be a Mazda thing but Toyota does it at service time - but then Toyota doesn't wash the car and Mazda does.
Thanks,
Regards
Jeffneil

I rotate them myself.
I bought a 3 ton trolley jack for $120 and a pair of jackstands.

Mazda used to do it for me every service but they stopped doing it when my tyres were low and told me to replace my tyres asap, most likely because of their duty of care or something.
