Everything is through a pay wall and there’s no simple info to guide anyone though working on their car. The only options is to spend money on tokens to call a mechanic. Which all this info can be found on google or forums. I think it’s a complete scambait for people to spend money on free info ### 1/5 — Significant price increase *2025-06-05, version 3.5.0* I watched multiple ads where the cost was around 7 dollars per call. I downloaded the app and created an account only to find it was $40 per call. The ads were from late 2024. Maybe the price will increase in 2025? I'm not sure what the expectation is, but if you have a check engine light, I doubt they will stay on the call while you troubleshoot problems until you find the problem. Regardless not worth it at the much higher prices. ### 5/5 — Quick, easy, and saved me money *2025-05-27, version 3.5.0* There’s new features on the app and the mechanic I spoke with helped me avoid spending an extra 300 bucks on something I didn’t really need. He also walked me through the whole process of selling a used car. Spent 40 bucks to save half a grand. ### 1/5 — A waste of time and money *2025-03-10, version 3.3.0* My first call connected me with someone who not only couldn’t help, but apparently was AT WORK at the time, and the connection was so bad anyway that the call dropped after less than 5 minutes and I didn’t even get a credit back. ### 1/5 — Can’t try it without signing up *2025-03-04, version 3.2.0* Sorry but not logging in without trying the app first - unfortunately no way to try it out without making an account 🤷🏼‍♂️ ### 5/5 — Add feature *2025-03-03, version 3.2.0* Add mechanics for motorcycles please!!! ### 1/5 — problem *2025-03-03, version 3.2.0* how am i supposed to log in if i never made an account for the app ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — FRAUD ALERT: Financial theft and retaliatory account bans! *2026-06-30, version 4.3.0* 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. ### 1/5 — Completely trash *2026-03-06, version 3.12.2* 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 ### 1/5 — Can’t get past logo screen *2026-02-17, version 3.12.2* All it does is sit at the logo screen. I was not able to do anything. ### 1/5 — Takes info but won’t continue *2026-01-06, version 3.12.2* Won’t let me get past the setup screen ### 1/5 — Not clear about car models supported by uber and unfair charge *2025-11-10, version 3.11.2* 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! ### 1/5 — App doesn’t work / open *2025-10-17, version 3.11.2* read title, app never gets past logo screen ### 1/5 — Awesome idea *2025-10-05, version 3.11.0* 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! ### 1/5 — False advertisement *2025-09-29, version 3.10.0* Why They can put Any Car Or make or year!??.😡 ### 1/5 — Don't fall for this! *2025-09-25, version 3.10.0* 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. ### 1/5 — Takes too much of your personal and vehicle information for it to be just for repairs. *2025-09-15, version 3.10.0* I can’t add my car accurately since the settings are too strict. And why would you need all this info that DOXS your location if they get hacked all your info is cooked. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great ! *2026-08-11, version 4.5.0* I tried this app for the first time, and honestly, it was an incredible experience ### 5/5 — MTM INSPECTION *2026-06-18, version 4.2.1* Inspector was prompt and professional.
