My 15” 2019 MacBook Pro was listed as requiring a free keyboard upgrade so I took the laptop to the Apple Store for evaluation. The unit was packed and shipped the same day to the repair facility and then returned to my home within two days. The entire top including the keyboard and touchpad were replaced but the best part was that a new battery was also installed, all free of charge. The laptop looks and feels like new. I am happy!
I've had similar experience with Apple's repair services. And right now they now have my 2016 15" MBP, which needed a new battery. I expect it back quickly. :-)
