I know of no place in the manual which tells the owner to 'disengage the awd,' except for towing purposes. You can insert a fuse into the 'FWD' socket in the fuse box, but that actually locks the car into front-wheel drive.
What kind of 'service' are you having done on your front wheels? As long as everything gets put back together the right way, there's nothing that they can do to damage your car while it's being worked on.
