Jack Stands and Lift.

There is a lot of the important stuff that you’ll be working on underneath your car.   Good solid jack stands with safety pins are an immeasurable asset when working on your car. If a vehicle is jacked up or placed on axle stands, give it a few up and down shakes on the bumpers or fenders before you begin the repairs. The shake test ensures that the axle stands are fully engaged. Needless to say, nothing is more unnerving (or perhaps more dangerous) than climbing under a car and finding that the jack or axle stands aren't fully engaged. If you can spring for a lift, all the better.

Torque Wrench

One of the most important tools that you’ll require when working on a car is a torque wrench. The torque wrench is considered to be one of the most indispensable tools that should be found of every garage. It is an easy-to-use precision tool that helps the user to be efficient in tightening or loosening nuts, bolts, and screws while avoiding under-tightening and over-tightening them.

Other Basics

• Motor oils play an important role in keeping your car’s engine running. Oil affects engine life, maintenance schedules, fuel economy and more, so it’s important to make the right motor oil decision for your car. Log onto AutoZone’s website for recommendations on the best motor fluid for your car and keep it in your garage.

• Fire extinguisher. No one is saying you’re inept, but you will be working on your car in an enclosed space with a sizable amount of an explosive liquid (gasoline), a powerful electrical energy source (a battery), possibly some very flammable materials (shop rags). For the benefit of your garage, your car, and not least of all yourself, have something on hand that can put out a fire. Napa Auto Parts has several options of easy-to-use fire extinguishers. Napa Auto Parts has several models with clear instruction labels using graphics to show steps required to operate extinguisher.

The main point to remember is that car repairs are not as difficult as they look and newer cars with more electronics have parts that can be repaired in your driveway.
