Clean, Lubricate, Adjust. It's been kicked around since at least 1967 when I started reading about serious cameras, and probably dates back 100 years or more.
However, there are always newbies among us.
I agree with the old adage: "Define the terms as you go along, spelling out acronyms the first time."
When I worked for my third large photo lab company, we had a 42 page dictionary of acronyms!
Thank you for the "define the terms" comment". My camera usage dates back to a Leica 111f so I'm not really a newbie however perhaps my unfamiliarity with the acronym CLA stems from never having a camera needing service. Many of the members appear to have had some business association with photography, Labs such as yourself and or professional photographers and naturally they would be more familiar with the different acronyms.
