I don't consider myself a handyman or anything, but there's really nothing hard about auto/home repairs. It can be a big project and quite a PITA at times, but most stuff around the car/house is pretty simple, especially if you have the right tools. (Which, for changing a tire, should've come with your car.)

no motor swap, don't have a lift

Those would have been good additions to the poll.

Have you ever heard of a block and tackle?

Have you ever heard of a "come-along"?

Have you ever heard of a cherry picker? etc.

Can change tyres (done this more than once), paint house (though not without lots of temper-fraying) or fence, electrical (small appliances) work.

This should be the official spelling worldwide, si man.

"Give wedgies" was omitted from the poll choices, see man.

It actually is, except in US & Canada.

I am a pretty decent handy man, never got into cars, my mistake not paying attention to my dad.

I replaced a thermostat in an old Datsun once, but that was years ago. I remember the old days when you could change your own oil and dump it into the ground. Now used oil and old tires are recycled, so it doesn't make sense to do it at home.

You dumped it on the ground? Sheesh!

You can turn the used oil in where you bought it, most garages, or at drop off locations.

Maybe you were already living in Kalifornia in the 70's. This was a small hick town in Arizona that thought recycling was a communist conspiracy.
