No, you can't switch from the standard mileage allowance to the actual deduction method. The reason is the standard mileage allowance is designed to include an allowance for the normal cost of repairs. So, in theory you will re-coop the cost of your repair over time by using the mileage allowance.
Also, you cannot deduct the cost of your own labor, as the cost of time is never deductible unless you pay someone for it.
