What do you need them for? I just ordered Astro Pneumatic's new metric tap and drill set. It covers most anything you would find on a car.

Milwaukee just released a set of metric drill bits

I've run machine shops for the last 30 years. For 99% of metric sizes, you can buy a number, letter or fractional size for a whole lot less. There are a few sizes that aren't within a few thousandths, but most below 1/2" can be found in standard sizes for a lot less money, if you can deal with the drill diameter being .002~.003 off. In reality, if it needs to be closer, it should be reamed anyway.
Just trying to save you a buck or two...

Poster number 5 makes a good point.
But I find a use for metric also and I have reamers for final sizing. But adjustable works well if your doing ones and twos.
But Travers or MSC is a good source.

Good post BuffetFan, your answer nailed it.Grainger is another option,although a bit pricey.You can order one day and pick up at the branch ,in a lot of cases the next.They have access to a lot of product.

Precision Twist, Guhring, Cleveland. Even the Accupro house brand is fine for most stuff

You just missed out. I picked up a 25 piece champion set 1-13mm for $21 off Amazon.
