Better yet, borrow books from the library and do some of the work yourself....

Sometimes you can take the air filter and blow it out with compressed air instead of replacing it.
Oil changes, while generally recommended every 3 months/3000 miles can be delayed if you do a lot of highway driving.
Many manufacturers say 7500 miles if your average trip is over 20 miles. Stop & go driving and short trips usually require more frequent oil changes.
Depending on the vehicle, I might carry a fuel filter instead of replacing it at the specified mileage.
If it starts to plug, change it on the spot.

always keep oil level right and anti freeze. brake fluid. and good or at least decent tires and the rest will take care of itself.
