Seriously. If you have a garage, spend some money on some tools and try your hand at doing these things yourself. There's plenty of online guides and books. You'll find that doing things such as changing brake pads are quite do-able on your own.
Take your car to the dealership when you have more complex problems, such as a clutch change.
But there's no excuse to learn how to do an oil change, transmission drain/refill, tire rotation, brake fluid flush, spark plug change on your own.
You can buy all the basic tools from Canadian Tire. All you need is the motivation to learn and the willingness to get your hands a little dirty and you can save TONS of money.
