I'll be looking for a really good clamp-on meter for testing/troubleshooting. The more options on this thing the better. What are the mechanics using? 
Testo volt meters are pretty good for the price. Cheaper then fluke by far.

A clamp-on amp meter to test amps recharging the battery, cranking amps, crap like that. They clamp around the cable measuring magnetic flux and spits a number at ya, amps. Just shoppin around and seenin whats out there for quality, some extra options on it never hurts. I checked out TrueBlue66 from NAPA but she was $250 CDN. and that's a crime. Ha

..I use Fluke only at work (electrical/electronics) and I personally have 3 different Fluke meters at home but for DC clamp on home use I have a "cheap" DC clamp on.. suits my needs for home use and accuracy... and for under $60 CAD you can't go wrong.
