Anybody know a good mechanic? Cheap place to get good quality tyres? Relatively new to the city (loving it). Any advice on good mechanics and where to get tyres without getting ripped off? Lives NOR but SOR will do fine.

If you want to save money and don't mind a little extra hassle, buy tyres online. I used this site before with no problems: http://www.thewheeldeal.com.au and got 4 x Nexen N3000 235/45R17 94W for $484 plus $140 P&H. You then take the tyre to a local fitter, it's usually around $15-$30 per tyre to get them installed. My price was about 50% of what it would have cost to buy local. Find a tyre you want on the site, ring around for a couple of quotes and you'll see how much cheaper buying online is.
