Been going to KA for many years (> 30). Work is always done right the first time. I needed new tires this past year - agent offered 3 choices (told me his reasons) & recommended the ones which weren’t the most expensive & told me about rebate. They’ve told me to hold off on servicing I thought I needed - suggested I wait another 5000 miles.
