Brakes are probubly the easiest DIY you can do other than changing the oil.

Meyle Rotors on Ebay or Amazon generially run around $90 a pair
Powerstop Ceraminc pads about $50 a set.

I run Meyle rotors and tracl]k my car many times a year and have had no issues at all.
I also use powerstop as my street pads and have autorossed with them. They stop on a dime and give you a nickle change. Virtyually no dust and quite as a church mouse

An hour to change a battery??? Even Pep boys installs them for free and it no big deal to install it anyway

Diy oil change depending on what oil you use is around $65 (using the oil that the sticker on the car notes) buy it at Walyworld

Brake fluid flush, well you can buy t\your very oown power bleeder and a few liters of ATE-200 brake fluis foer less than $130

$1194 for plugs, ait filter, cabin filter (probubly doesn't need to be changed anyway) drive belt fuel filter and wiper blades is outrageous

Changing a WP is a liittle chalanging, but very DIT|Y doanble. Do a search and you will find many threads on it. $1675 for the WP, belt pullys and coolant flush is a bit high
