On cars I don't value much, I prefer to have Jiffy Lube do a $20-$25 oil change rather than do it myself. These days I change the oil once a year myself, but I'm being a bit obsessive about it, as I'm sure the $20 conventional oil change would be fine.

I'd never trust a place like Jiffy Lube with spark plugs. Those I prefer to do myself, and I like to use longer lasting plugs so I never have to do a plug change again.
