Can I do my car service on different days
So I've tried doing some of the car service on my own I drive a 2008 ford fiesta. I did the cabin and air filter which was pretty easy. I just got the oil change and spark plugs left. I don't wanna mess about with spark plugs so was wondering can I get that done by my mechanic now and do the oil change later maybe a month after on my own?

There's plenty of online guides on how to change the spark plugs on your car. It's a quick and easy job with a socket set and a torque wrench.
Yes you can spread out the individual service items, as you proposed.
Modern cars tend to need the oil to be changed more often than the spark plugs.
If you don't have a warm garage to work in, change the oil now, if you can, before the weather sets in and it's uncomfortably cold for working on your car.
