Self Maintenance?
Salaam!
Does everyone who owns their car get the oil changed at a garage/shop? I have read about mechanics and shops in the Industrial Area, but I haven't been able to find a store that sells oil and filters.
Auto customization seems to be unpopular too? I've seen some paint jobs here and there, but no lift kits, light bars, over sized wheels...nada. What gives Qatar?
Your right. For a country with such a large car culture, its very slim pickings.
Here's a performance shop that has some Edelbrock, K&N, etc: GPS 25.317533,51.497508
Its quite pricy though.
I call this the car souq. There's tons of aftermarket car accessory shops on this street: GPS 25.279189,51.543193
For OEM replacement parts, check out the industrial area: GPS 25.213949,51.43635
I'm selling some oil filters, if you're interested:

What kind of car do you have or what are you looking for?
Good luck.
There is one good garage.

Very Good Mechanic...
There is people using the car dealer services although some could be cost (un)wise. And some use Tayseer services. There are a couple more places (always nearby Petrol Stations) to perform these changes/arrangements. Bt to be honest never been to Industrial Area for such endeavour.
For customizations you MUST get a permit from the Traffic Police (at least that is what I have been told) and with proper justification; otherwise forget about it.
