What should a basic car repair tool kit contain?
I mean one that you would carry with you in the car, not a complete garage set.

Water proof tape (for temporary repairs to a coolant hose), extra fan belt(s) for obviously reasons and the necessary hand tools to install the belt(s), pliers, screw drivers, small roll of mechanics’ wire, flash light and jumper cables.
These things should get you back on the road – but basic maintenance at regular intervals and the basic obvious checks – such as checking the spare tire pressure, assuring that you have a jack and lug wrench and checking all of the fluid levels are equally important.
Added note – and a small first aid kit for when you scrape your knuckles – it’s inevitable.
