Obviously basic hand tools such as sockets and wrenches, plus additional things such as nut drivers, Allen wrenches (hex wrenches), etc. These days mechanics use a lot of cordless power tools and air tools as well. The biggest thing is learning computers and electronics. Modern cars are more and more dependent on computers to operate different functions.
Thank you for your information! Any softwares that I need to get familiarized with before I get into college, or when I am in college?
