Default Minor Car Maintainence?

I was just wondering how many folks in TV do their minor car maintainence in their own driveways or garages. My husband (I would call him Mr. Hawkeye, but he is really Mr. Boilermaker) has always changed the oil, changed the transmission filter and fluid, changed the brake pads and other things similar thru the years.(I suspect he is an engineer with a pit crew guy inside waiting to get out!) He enjoys doing this sort of thing and I am sure he would like to continue for as long as he can during retirement.
He has never had the vehicles up on blocks or anything...and usually does the work in the gargage. I know there are restrictions on parking, etc., and just wondered if basic auto maintainence is allowed.
Thanks for the info!
