    This is the first thing every car enthusiast should have in their garage, with advanced chrome alloy steel tools for maximum durability and a lifetime guarantee, maintaining your car with these tools is a must. 

    They come in many different sizes depending on how many tools you would like. I personally have the largest version of the kit, just in case! I would also say having a smaller kit in the car is good for when you're out and about.

    Just like the socket set, this is going to be something you will use time and time again so is a must. from changing wheels to servicing your car, having a trolly jack handy makes life so much easier. 

    I would say try and go for a big, low entry jack. For me, the low entry jacks are a must as most of my cars are quite low.

    If like me, you love old cars, having a set of jump leads in the boot of your car is a lifesaver when it comes to it. A long pair of these are always best just in case you're parked at a funny angle! 

    A very simple product that will get you out of a sticky situation when you need them. Having an old car is great, but knowing it will actually start every time is a bonus!

    Although maintaining your car mechanically is needed, keeping it clean is just as important! 

    You can get any different variants of a pressure washer, I have found that the Kärcher ones seem to be the best in regard to keeping your cars clean and them having a long life. Adding a few different heads to this product is also a massive bonus.

    Another essential piece of kit for maintaining your car's tools is having a secure and lockable place to keep them. 

    Most toolboxes will have different sections for your tools, making it really easy to find what you need. I personally have a larger cabinet for my tools, but a simple smaller toolbox never goes a miss.

    An often looked over must, having a few sets of spare fuses lying around to check if a problem is just fuse related is paramount. could save you a lot of headaches when finding problems. 

    Troubleshooting is always fun when working on cars, so if you can cut to the chase and work out that it's only a fuse that is blowing is a lifesaver! So having some of these spare in your car is always a good idea.

    Safety is at the top of everyone's mind when working on a car, so have a good set of sturdy axel stands to put under your car while working on it is another indispensable investment. 

    Having a good set is key, although you can pick up these for relatively cheap, so having a set of these to help keep the car elevated and safe while your working on it, which is something that everyone needs.

    If you have a few cars, and you want to keep them healthy while you're not using them, having the car on a charge through a battery charger will help with starting the engine and aid in preserving the overall longevity of your battery when not using the car. 

    If you like to use multiple cars throughout the week, this battery charger will become your best friend as it will keep everything fully charged and ready to go whenever you want it to.

    Having a book to hand with everything you could need to repair your car is essential for maintaining your car. 

    I usually try and pick one of these up every time I buy a new car, which makes servicing and maintaining your new car easy. Additionally, they are fantastic at troubleshooting your car when you're replacing bits and pieces such as the suspension.

    Lastly, a very overlooked must have when working on your car. In my opinion, having good lighting when you're under the bonnet, or even under the car, is something that is always disregarded, when it shouldn't be. 

    Having a good light that you can either put on your head or lay on the ground makes working on those harder to see places so much easier.
