need some work done..where to go???

Hi guys,
I've owned a car in NJ for just about a month and lived here for about 2 years. SO i'm still not very familiar about where to take my car to get a few basic things done. ( I live in Jersey City).

1. Need to replace my catalytic converter. I"ve got the part, but they're asking $150 to change it--which i think is ridiculous for replacing a part with 5accessible bolts.

2. Need tires. I'm able to find good tires, but most places want to charge about $30/per tire for installation. Thats 120 bucks for just installating and balancing, and add the cost of tires on top of that...i'm looking at a good $550-650 for all 4 tires.

Is this the norm up here?? I'm from texas, and i've never heard of anyone charging to install tires if you buy from them (atleast down south). OR am I just looking at the wrong places??
