Not to nitpick here, but doesn't the location of the nail make the tire un-repairable?
Otherwise, good for her. When she becomes a driver, I'm guessing she won't be like the people I work with who seem to take pride in not even knowing when they checked the oil last....
I fixed our lawnmower when I was 4... Does that count?
My mom was mowing the grass (dad was at work) and she flooded the carb because it was super hot outside and my mom did the hilly part with a steep incline at too low of a rev.
I told my mom it was no problem. I asked my mom for a quarter to take off the the air filter screw (B&S engine), took the filter off and put the screw in to hold the flap in the carb open. Told my mom to pull and it started up.
She looked as me as though I had just piloted a ship to the moon.

Any inexperienced person could put their put the jack in the wrong place, and damage the car. But it takes a special kind of idiot to keep cranking the jack until the rocker panel, door, and fender all three buckle...
She did a good job, and it's true most people don't know or don't care to know how to change a tire. Like the image above, epic fail in tire changing goodness.
Typical GM car in a rust-belt state. I almost had the same thing happen to my Buick. Fortunately I heard the cracking of rusted metal and let the car down before it got like that. Silly me for trying to raise the car on a pinch weld. Now I go for the engine subframe. Lots more steel there.
if that was discount tire, she woulda made you wait a few hours, then tell you it's unrepairable, then the tire you need would be outa stock, so you'd have to pay for a more expensive tire.

most likely slipped off and caught the plastic/urethane side moldings and cosmetic metal
