What's this about cap and rotor? Is this an article from the 80's?

Might as well do brake rotors and calipers if one is capable of brake pads. Those things are probably even less difficult, cause pushing pistons back in to the caliper without making a mess is impossible the first time one attempts it.

Wiper refills. Don't know why the whole blade assembly is more common. It's not that difficult to change just the rubber, and I find OEM blades typically perform better.

Tire rotations

Coil packs

Really most things are easily done at home because the internet has instructions. If you might need a new PCV valve then there are simple instructions for testing one, and replacement is simple.
