Tell him that healthy vibrato is the result of using the voice
freely, that it will improve as his use of his voice improves, and
that it requires no extra attention.

He doesn't have time? He doesn't know of a singing teacher in his
area? In that case you might as well not bother to tell him what I
suggested above. Just tell him that his voice is fine just the way it
is.
