To be fair, fixing your brakes on an old car is an absolute nightmare IME. I did it on my early 2000's Mustang and even though there are very few steps every bolt was rusted together and I spent the better part of the day in the rain. And I only got the front done :).

I guess if you want a specific brand of filter/oil it might make sense to do it yourself, but other than that, it always seemed like a waste of time to me.
