Jeez, these guys are so immature, wrapped up in themselves.
Anyway, as for the little things like a check engine light, wiper blades, battery testing/install, light bulbs etc go to your local Autozone/Kragen etc and they'll do it for you free if you buy the parts from them. As I said lots of youtube videos show you how to do just about anything these days not just the car stuff. Plus I'm sure there are lots of home-improvement forums like this one...believe me lots of guys out there will help a girl out.
