Umm... you shouldn't need a mechanic for this job. But you don't need a $50 set of high zoot cables off the internet either. Cable rigging is probably something you should learn how to do yourself. $4 for the cable, $20 for a cable cutter (get one, it's well worth it), and ask at the mechanics area for some little cable ends that keep the cable from fraying or buy a bottle of them from Nashbar for $5. I assume you already have a set of metric allen keys and some pliers.
Then read this:
