BCIT auto program has all the tools you need to learn and work on projects. The only thing you need to provide are steel toe boots. Usually students have option to buy foundational tool box set at an discounted price after their program ends.

With that said, she got some time to decide on buying tools. If she wants to do apprenticeship at a dealership, she will most likely start off washing cars. Then moving on to helping techs etc... Once she starts apprenticeship then she would have a pretty good idea what tools she needs. Dealers will usually provide some allowance for tools, and you can also write those tools off as well. Also dealers have shop nights, so she can also work on her own car in the shop. Again if she find a good shop techs are pretty chill with lending their tools to newbies on shop night.
