These days engines are usually leased separately from their planes and the leasing company provides maintenance, repair, and overhaul with their own MRO provider or a third party of their choice. Boeing wouldn't be involved.
The scarier trend is airlines shopping around for the cheapest MRO in South America.
That's not really a funny or helpful comment generally, but especially not since the plane in question (C-FIUV) is over 16 years old...
