Mavis Discount Tire review: Majorly exploited and taken advantage of due to lack of options!

My chevy equinox began misfiring at around 5:45pm on 5/1/25 and all other garages were closed. Mavis in pottsville, pa was luckily open until 8:30pm and completed the repair of 4 spark plugs/4 coils while informing me that driving any further could have blown my engine! They charged me $1200 for this... Later on I visited my regular mechanic for an oil change and showed him the bill and he said this could have been done for about $588 with the company still making a profit. I feel as though I was unfairly taken advantage of and exploited given my lack of options in this case and severely overcharged in the middle of a very desperate situation! I understand there will be pricing variances between repair shops, but not double the price. Companies should be ashamed of themselves engaging in practices like this. I was also told by several people who have automotive knowledge that although driving with the engine misfiring like that would ultimately not be good for the engine, the claim that it would have blown the engine was greatly exaggerated.
