I have a customer who will be putting a kitchen in their attached garage.

Same requirements as if it were located in the house?

Refrigerator, counter space,range,exhaust hood, sink, disposal.

Never did one before.
 
Yup, same same.

I had one a few years ago in an above garage apartment. It only had 2 feet of counter space. But it had enough amenities - 2 burner cooktop, wall oven, under counter fridge/freezer, disposal.

The only things that counted as small appliance were the under counter fridge and 2 feet of countertop. I decided to put 2 gfci receps above counter so that my 2nd small appliance circuit didn't get wasted on a 1.2 amp fridge.

1 circuit was a gfci receptacle by itself, and the other circuit was the second gfci along with the fridge

Agreed.
Another consideration is checking with local AHJ for any local restrictions not related to NEC that might impact the installation.
Is this going to also remain a garage for parking a vehicle?
Consideration for flammable venting of gas fumes from a parked car? Don't know the volatility concentration of gas fumes you achieve from a parked car at what duration of time and any ignition sources that a kitchen might get, just don't have an answer. AHJ would/should give guidance.

No car built in the last 30 years (maybe more) releases any meaningful amount of gasoline vapors unless something is wrong with it.

I’d be more concerned with what’s coming out of the gas can for the lawn mower.

You could smell my 55 Chevy at 30 paces. I don't think the carb was dry unless the tank was empty. Road Runner wasn't much better.

Other than the 5 window, that’s my truck! I’ve updated it to 12 V.

I had a 51’ two 49’s, a 56’, and a 63, but the 51 was my favorite. Burgundy metal flake, red and silver metal flake bench seat (like the 50’s dinner seats) I had bought a 12 volt converter from JC Whitney to run the 8 track tape player under the dash. The tube type AM radio still worked!
