live steam

I live on Staten Island and there is really a limited amount of shops and most aren't stocked that well at all. They need days to get tires, etc. My cousins shop is the only really well equiped shop here and I hate to go there because he then feels obligated to give me the stuff at cost. That makes me feel a bit guilty as I really don't expect or want that. He's in business and business is business.

Anyone know of a good shop in the NJ metro area that would have tire for our cars readily available? A shop that can do some other minor mods? I asked one local shop about lifetime aglinments and he looked at me like I had three heads.
