Default Is it possible to maintain a car by yourself without having to take it to a repair

shop or dealership? I would like to do this so that I can save money and learn more about my car. I already know the basics such as checking and adding fluid, filter replacements, oil changes, tire rotations, etc..

I know that there are certain things that a repair shop or dealership is best left to handle, such as engine belts. But other than the very complicated stuff like engine belts and the electronic system, is it possible to learn how to maintain the car by myself and save myself a lot of money?
