That will depend a lot on whether it is considered a warranty repair or not. I believe with Pentax Canada one can send in a warranted body and lens for mechanical calibration as a warranty service.
Apparently it isn't all that difficult, the bottom plate comes off the camera and there are three screws that set the placement of the AF sensor to adjust.
I'm guessing that the sensor can be adjusted in all three planes to cure front or back focus and also to move the sensor closer to the viewfinder indicators.
I expect Pentax USA should offer something similar.
I'll be sending my K20 off for calibration very soon while it is still under warranty, and them my K-7 may be going in after that.
