Yes, but only for the mileage and expenses used in the scope of your job. Commuting miles directly from your home to the main office, or from the main office to your home are not deductible. However, if you are driving directly from your home to client locations that are temporary and change, those would not be considered commuting miles.
You should deduct expenses in proportion to the amount of time you use your vehicle for work. For example, if you had an oil change that was $50, and you use your car for work 50% of the time, then you would deduct $25 for maintenance costs.
