Dealer Update to ECU, etc.

So, here's a naive question...

When does a dealer check or perform an ECU update? Is it with any visit? Do they check the car ECU versions and update if behind without your knowledge? Say, bringing the vehicle in for an Oil Change? Standard maintenance...? I don't have any piggy backs or anything I'm worried about them finding, this isn't the issue.

I'm an old school guy, and firmly believe if it isn't broken, don't fix it! I reluctantly update my phone's even and usually wait a long time so all the kinks are out when updates are even released before considering it at all. So my brain is the same here... Everything is working as I want it to and don't want the thing touched other than what I want done to it when I bring it in for it's first dealer visit. Please advise.

Thank you!
