Sure it would. What's he going to pay for a soldering iron? More than $20?
Solder removal material? $10 Solder? $5 Anything else?

Then the value of the experience may far outweigh the equipment and material
costs.

Folks need to be encouraged to be less dependent upon paying others for
skills which they can easily master and enjoy doing so.

Not having any experience soldering,he might pick acid-core solder for
plumbing instead of rosin-core for electrical work.He might get an iron of
insufficient wattage.He might make solder bridges.

Only if he ever decides to solder anything else.If not,he's wasted money
buying tools he probably would never use again.

He also might not want to trouble with it.
Besides,he -already bought- a new relay.It probably will not fail before
the car is replaced.
