The vast majority of vehicle repairs and maintenance can be accomplished with basic tools and a simple manual (or the internet). Generally, unless it requires a lift or an engine hoist, I'll do it myself.
The same goes for home repairs and renovations- there's not much "magic" to most tasks. fF you're even mildly handy and can pay attention to details, you can do a "professional" job for a LOT less than hiring a pro, and probably get it completed quicker and with more care.
Finally, there's a lot of kitchen and cooking tasks that you can easily DIY- cutting your own meat, growing your own herbs, making your own stocks, etc. The savings on these aren't nearly as great as on the other tasks I've mentioned, but it's nice to know how to butcher a chicken.
