autozone, pepboys, pretty much any local parts store should carry a scanner where you can reset it on your own...

okay lets start with the right question...

what IS the actual problem with your car and what light are actually on.

check engine light can be turned off by pulling the EFI fuse in the engine bay. if the light comes back on then you can do a diagnostic test to see what codes it pops up.

airbag light can be turned off too. search for the procedure.

theres more but tell us exactly what your car is doing or not doing for that matter so we can help you diagnose this.
