Tires Plus York, Pa Charged $1500 dollars to repair my van so I could get home to Michigan York Pennsylvania

 This place saw "sucker" tattooed on my forehead when I walked in the door. This story starts with my four children and myself at the end of our vacation. We had driven to Washington DC, Gettysberg and were ending in Hershey/ York ,PA. We were leaving te next morning to drive back to Michigan and decided to go out to eat somewhere not too far from the Yorketowne Hotel because we planned on leaving bright and early so we could get home at a decent hour. After getting the van from the underground garage we drove down the street and experienced a blow out of the passenger front tire. I called the hotel to get a number for a local tow truck driver and the first driver pulled up and said that he couldn't tow my van because he would "rip the bumper off" and said there was nothing he could do and left us 1 mile from the hotel on a hot July evening. My daughter has asthma and almost had an attack walking back to our hotel. Then we got $40 pizza delivered to us by Dominoe's. We went to bed and called a different tow truck in the morning to change my tire. Once getting to the van the other driver said the first company was famous for not doing their job. Once he got the van lifted up he could see a sway bar had broken and punctured the tire ao he towed us to Tires Plus in York ( because he was an honest place that took care of it's customers) across from the West Machester Mall. He got my information and after inspecting the van said that he would have to replace both sides, even though the drivers side was fine and the job would take up to 8 hours. Plus the Yorkeowne Hotel made my kids check out at noon even though they had nowhere to go but to wait in the lobby. Sorry they didn't care either, I explained my situsation and they said check out is noon. Oh yeah $1500, but I could try to get credit oh that didn't work, I could go to a credit union service center and grab the cash. He was SO nice I got to use his car. We were able to drive home but once getting home my mechanic was LIVID because there is no way that it was required to replace the other sway bar and the cost should have never been close to a thousand dollars, but I am a widow and needed to take my children home so I could return to work on Monday. After this experience I will NEVER go to York, Pennsylvania and would warn any single woman to make sure you have a man with you so that the "fine honest people" at Tires Plus don't make you pay for unnecessary repairs and charge you through the nose and the wonderful tow truck company that left a mother and 4 kids at the side of the road on hot humid Friday night. Let this be a warning if you don't have to travel to York DON'T !!
