Our one experience with K-Mart auto service was a rip-off.  Karen
took the car in for a front end alignment, which they had advertised
on sale.  They put the car up on the rack, wiggled a few rods and
bearings, and gave her a list of $150 worth of things they said we
needed.  (Essentially a new front end.)  She knew better and left.
As she was leaving she noticed them pulling the same thing on another
woman, who also left without getting suckered in.

Since then, most K-Mart auto centers seem to have closed up.
