For tires and such I've had all around good luck at Merchants off 1A.. I don't know them or anything, they just haven't pulled the same BS the other places have. Work has always been done in reasonable amount of time and fair price.
That said, I will be giving Lee the next stab at any mechanic work I need done.
you could also come to Import Performance in Raleigh off of Hillsborough street, I my self own a couple of TJ's that i build/maintain there and have lots of jeep customers. Super clean shop with all new up to date equipment. 919 8542626

Spoke with my Dad a good friend went up to wakefield Atv
last summer , looking for a lift tires and wheels for a 05 Tj.
They qouted him 3800 for everything , he bought the lift tires and wheels and dad put it on. He spent half of the price wakefield wanted. Also all the diesel programmers there
I have noticed are a bit high .
