DIY: Filling Up Tires
Having a low tire may make you nervous if your pressure gauge goes off, because you may think you're going to have to replace all of your tires. However, you can typically just fill your tires up with air on your own at the gas station. The trick to not overfilling them, though, is to use a tire gauge to check the amount of pressure you should put in your specific types of tires. Typically, you can find the amount of pressure that your tires need written on the outside of your tires.
Pay: Oil Change
If you have a lot of experience doing oil changes, then you should be fine to do them on your own but if you have never done one before, it may be worth spending the $50 or so to have it done for you. During an oil change, they not only put new oil in your car but they also drain and clean out the existing oil in your car so that everything is as clean as possible. Also, they will top off all of your fluids which can add up if you are doing it on your own.
Pay: check Engine Light
If your check-engine light goes off, the last thing you want to do is attempt to do this job yourself. Your engine is one of the most intricate and expensive components in your car and the last thing you want to do is mess it up. Usually, you can take it into an auto shop for a diagnostics to see what exactly is wrong with your engine before they start repairing it which may save you money in the long run.
As you can see, these are a few different things for you to keep in mind so that you don't mess up your car.
