FRAUD ALERT: Financial theft and retaliatory account bans!

DO NOT USE THIS SERVICE. Tinker (Aventura Mobility, LLC) is a deceptive platform. I was double-charged for a service that never connected.
Despite their own support team confirming in writing on June 11th that my refund was approved, they never processed the funds. When I demanded they honor this commitment, they retaliated by suspending my account without cause, claiming a "violation of terms." This is a classic fraud tactic: take your money, provide no service, and ban the customer to hide the evidence when they fight back.
They are holding my funds in bad faith. I have already escalated this as a formal case of merchant fraud to the Attorney General and the FTC. If you value your money, stay away. This company is running a fraudulent scheme.

MTM INSPECTION

Inspector was prompt and professional.
Thank You for your help.

Outstanding and Quick!

I love this app!

Great inspection

Fast, smooth, and super easy.

Used the Tinker App for my inspection and everything went perfectly. The technician was professional, friendly, and explained everything clearly so there was no confusion.

Quick process, great experience. Would definitely use again.

Response from developer

Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear that your inspection experience with Tinker App was fast, smooth, and easy from start to finish. It’s great to know our technician made a positive impression by being professional, friendly, and keeping everything clear and transparent.

Great app

Great app and would highly recommend for your car service needs.

Steven is the man

Tinker was very help full

Completely trash

I got it just to figure out how to get just one bolt out because it has been over ten years since I had done this one job on this particular engine I am a mechanic with over 20 years of experience but since I moved to a different state with limited tools because my main tool set is 18 hours away from me and at my mother’s place tools I have had since college/tech school I thought that this app would be of better value and help welp back to the bulletin boards for techs and they want you to pay for advice how bout a free side where we the people bounce ideas off each other to better get the job done

Thank you for taking the time to share this — and we appreciate you providing the context around your experience and background. With most of our Expert Mechanics also having over 20 years of experience, we completely understand how frustrating it can be to just need a quick nudge on a specific job, especially when you’re working away from your primary tools and resources. Our goal with the app is to give users direct access to experienced techs for real‑time support, which is why it’s structured as a paid service rather than an open forum. That said, we hear your feedback around wanting a more collaborative, peer‑to‑peer space, and it’s valuable insight as we continue to evaluate how the platform can best support professionals at different levels and use cases. We genuinely appreciate you giving the app a try, and we hope you’re able to get what you need — whether through traditional tech boards or future improvements we’re exploring. Thanks again for sharing your perspective.

Can’t get past logo screen

All it does is sit at the logo screen. I was not able to do anything.

Stephen

He was so professional and calm

Takes info but won’t continue

Won’t let me get past the setup screen

Great service

Great service

Satisfaction!

Registration took 2 min and the actual inspection. Less than 7 min I got very good agent to assist me named Steve nothing more to say absolute satisfaction and inspection done less than 10 min thanks guys!

Not free

Was excited for an app that would help with advice and connecting to mechanics, well it’s not free, why does everything have to cost money, what happened to helping out the community from the goodness of our hearts, we need love again

Not clear about car models supported by uber and unfair charge

This app is charging you without letting uou know that your car model is not supported by uber while the age restriction should stop them from running this before making sure the car year is not accepted! Very unfair and not good!

Uber inspection

Sam is amazing mechanic and super helpful

App doesn’t work / open

read title, app never gets past logo screen

Awesome idea

Would totally love to write a better review as a mobile mechanic not having to pay for some service to give you car information dosnt sound awesome to me. Would definitely a better review if I could get past the set up! It’s happy to let me put in all my information other than my email address and wouldn’t let me go any further. Trying this out on iOS so I’m not sure if that’s the issue but I would still try out your app even despite these issue!

Response from developer

Thank you so much for the thoughtful feedback — we really appreciate both the enthusiasm for the idea and your patience while running into that setup issue. We’re sorry to hear you got stuck at the email step on iOS; that’s definitely not how the experience should go, and we understand how frustrating that can be, especially when you’re willing to give the app a fair shot. We’d love the chance to help you get past setup and properly try everything the app has to offer, particularly as a mobile mechanic whose perspective is incredibly valuable to us. Please reach out to our support team at Support@tinkerdiy.com so we can take a closer look and get this resolved for you. Thanks again for sticking with us despite the hiccup — we hope to earn that updated review once everything’s working smoothly!

False advertisement

Why They can put Any Car Or make or year!??.😡

Don't fall for this!

They took all my info then told me they aren't operating in my state "yet". No idea why they're collecting info but stay away.
