My son and my daughter did what was necessary to be on wheels. My son and I restored a 65 Chevy pickup before he was sixteen. He did a lot of work because it was necessary to have wheels, not because of an interest in it. He is capable but not interested.

My daughter probably had more interest than my son. We raced karts together and she was a great driver. When she showed up all the boys knew that they were racing for second place. She didn't do much work on her kart, but she had no choice but to do the work on her first car, an 81 300D. Under my supervision of course, she put brake pads, shocks, a voltage regulator, did her own oil changes and a few other things. I was amazed at her natural ability to handle tools.

There again with both of them it was just a price of having wheels, not an interest that drew their attention.
