Business ProfileforBryce Canyon Towing

The morning of September 14th, while on a motorcycle trip, and staying with a group of friends at Bryce Canyon Resort, we experienced a tragedy, when one of our party had a heart attack that he did not survive. We needed to have the motorcycle towed and secured, until our friend's wife could make arrangements to secure the bike. The Garfield County Sheriff's deputy on the scene called Bryce Canton Towing, ********************* showed up, loaded the bike, passed out business cards, and was on his way, approximately 22 miles back to *********.Last week, I was contacted by one of my friends who was on the ride, who told me he would be going to ********* to pick up the bike, at the request of the widow. I was also contacted by the widow, who told me the charges would be $1,118.99! These charges included:- A "fuel surcharge" of $144.99. This was to drive approximately 44 miles, (from the towing business to Bryce Canyon Resort and back). Isn't fuel a cost of doing business for a towing company? And $144.99 for 44 miles? - 3 "Impounds/Wrecks", at $179 each. The bike was never wrecked, it was still on the kickstand as the EMTs tried vainly to save my friend's life next to it. Impound? Nope, simply towing a storing a bike, until the widow could retrieve it, a fact the Garfield *************************** pointed out. I talked to the Sheriff, and while he agreed that my friend's wife was overcharged, he said he couldn't do anything; that Bryce Canyon Towing is on the rotational list for Garfield County, and evidently they were next in line when the deputy called for a towing service. Lovely, huh? You die, then things get worse, when Bryce Canyon Towing shows up. So if you're in the area and need a tow, my suggestion is to use anyone but Bryce Canyon Towing. If they'll blatantly overcharge a widow, no telling what they'll do to you.
