## Tinker DIY Reviews in United States

### *---- "Logging in"
Will not let me, typed my email address-nothing, typed in my phone number-nothing , google-nothing, apple did verified me - nothing ??
-- Steelblitz7x7, 2025-01-24

### ***-- "Was a great app"
Nearly every mechanic I have talked to on here has been awesome. With that being said, every now and then you get one that isn’t very helpful, when I first started using the app it was $15 for unlimited monthly, which is awesome, honestly probably should’ve been closer to $30. At $50 per 4 calls or $15 for one call now I don’t think it’s worth it, there’s too much of a risk of getting someone who isn’t helpful or the app glitching and you not actually getting to use the call or your phone dying etc., at that point you’d almost be better just taking you car to the shop. It nearly defeats the entire original purpose of the app with is for DIY’ers trying to save some money. I’ll be sticking to YouTube and talking to local mechanics, this app may still be great if you are just stuck and you can find the answer online and you get just the right person, but I don’t think it’s for your average diy’er anymore

### *---- "Doesn’t work with iPhone or app just don’t work I tried all methods of signing up and it’s neverwork"
Trash app not professional
-- HotShortbong, 2025-01-15

### *---- "App doesn’t work"
Wont allow me to create an account or sign in. Garbage.
-- Mavila503, 2025-01-09

### *---- "Just use google"
This app only wants money
-- 5hortly, 2025-01-08

### ***-- "Car specific"
I got on the app but from the reviews idk if I really want to pay even 4.99 what if I glitch out or what if I get a  clueless mechanic it would be more comforting if you could search brand specific mechanics for like Subarus because the transmission on my 1999 Subaru legacy went out I don’t have the funds to pay for a repair I want to diy it on how to install a new one on my own  good concept needs better execution
-- GREENPINEAPPLEx, 2025-01-08

### ***** "It starts now!"
The Tinker mechanic got it running!
-- Dan_6:22, 2025-01-04

### ***** "Timing Belt Change"
Tried this app out, the mechanic helped me with some timing belt questions, and got me through the process. Good experience for me, will call again for my project Subaru.
-- NCG2024, 2024-12-22

### ****- "Decent but important feature missing"
The Interface works really well and the pricing is super cheap but you can’t SEARCH for a mechanic that specializes in your Brand, Model and Year of your car. 

While I was connecting to a possible mechanic I saw what their Brand experience was and if it wasn’t my brand (2004 Subaru Forester) I would hit the button to hopefully find a mechanic that DID have the Model experience I was looking for. It shouldn’t be that random.
-- Justin Cordes, 2024-12-10

### *---- "Scam app."
Says nothing about having to pay until it just straight up asks you to pay. Besides that it doesn’t actually have any car information whatsoever. Whoever made this app please think about suicide.
-- totally not a spoofer, 2024-12-06
