I just started working on my car and I’d like to get a more dedicated socket and wrench set to do some basic maintenance/address the consumables on our cars. Oil changes, break pads and rotors, shocks/struts and mounts and sway bar end links, etc. Its my understanding that cars have gone pretty much to metric but I was hoping to get an idea for a basic set I can put together and what drive I would need for the kind of work I’m looking to do. I got the jack and jack stands already.

Is every size socket used? Do most cars use the same sized bolts for the same things? Like would the bolt size to open up the brake caliper to change pads be the same on pretty much every car or does it vary quite a bit?
