Let me add one other note to KochuK's excellent answer.
If you perform maintenance yourself, you cannot take a deduction for the value of your time spent doing maintenance. You could only deduct actual out of pocket costs for supplies or materials.
This is true not only of vehicle maintenance, but also in other areas (for example, maintenance of a rental property).
