sometimes it isnt worth it to do things yourself, its cheaper when you have free time but when you dont, its inconvenient and sometimes a hassle if you're tired from working all day, or just dealing with life
there are things i would change regardless if i had time or not like check fluids, change wipers, ect. because it takes like 10 mins at most to complete those tasks, but i would never change oil, change brakes, change transmission fluid, ect. if i didnt have like a whole day off or something to complete those tasks because those take a while to complete

mine needed new wipers at 15k, but i bought Bosch wipers at my local auto store and changed them in the parking lot, i would never have the dealer change them though unless the labor was free and i was already at the dealer buying the wipers and the tech was going to change it right then and there so i can leave
