When car-related mechanical issues need to be addressed, many vehicle owners immediately seek the help of their local auto mechanics. On the other hand, some would prefer doing the repair themselves. Naturally, these DIY junkies keep some essential car tools in their garage. 

A complete car toolbox should contain tools needed for various vehicle repair needs, whether for routine oil changes or regular maintenance. Among tools you will need include accessories such as cleaner, drip pan, desiccant, latex gloves, lubricant, tape and zip ties. 

For hand tools, you will need pliers, mallet, screwdriver, socket set, torque wrench, wire cutters and wrenches. Lastly, for electric tools, you will need an impact wrench, multimeter, and work light.
