Tools and Equipment
Scan tools are obviously a requirement in repairing todays cars. Having a quality scan tool that can read scan information is a must in order to diagnose todays cars (I have Snap-On equipment). Also a requirement, an oscilloscope; It's impossible troubleshooting todays cars without having the whole picture. If you can't see the wave form, how do you know what you really have. I own a Fluke 98 scope meter; by far the tool with the most bang for the buck. The logic probe, test light and a basic DVOM are also a requirement for todays techs to quickly diagnose common electrical issues. In addition, I have a "libary" of specalty books and manuals on automotive and electrical/elctronic topics and principles; a must to know what you're dealing with.
