We’re excited to share some big news: Tinker DIY has been named a Gold Stevie Award winner in the 2026 American Business Awards.
Tinker was recognized in the Mobile Apps category for its on-demand platform that gives drivers real-time access to expert automotive support, no shop visit required.
What This Award Means
The Stevie Awards are among the most respected business honors globally, celebrating innovation, growth, and excellence across industries. Winning Gold places Tinker among a select group of companies pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in mobile technology.
For us, this recognition validates a simple but powerful idea: car help should be instant, accessible, and human.
Why Tinker DIY Stood Out
Today’s car owners and rideshare drivers do not just want answers (or vehicle inspections). They want them now. Whether it is a strange engine noise, a warning light, or help choosing the right part, waiting days for a shop visit is not always practical.
Tinker DIY bridges that gap by offering:
- Real-time expert support from certified automotive professionals
- Live video guidance for diagnostics and DIY repairs
- On-demand access that eliminates the need for appointments
- Cost-effective solutions that help drivers make informed decisions
Instead of guessing or overpaying, drivers can connect with an expert in minutes and get clarity fast.
Built for the Modern Driver
The way people maintain and repair vehicles is changing. More drivers are turning to digital-first solutions that offer speed, convenience, and transparency.
Tinker DIY was designed for that shift:
- DIYers who want confidence before picking up a wrench
- Rideshare and delivery drivers who cannot afford downtime
- Everyday car owners who want a second opinion
By putting expert help directly in your pocket, Tinker changes how drivers approach car problems, from reactive and stressful to proactive and informed.

We are continuing to invest in:
- Expanding our network of expert mechanics
- Improving the in-app experience
- Launching new features that make car care more accessible
Our goal remains the same: make vehicle inspections & expert automotive help available anytime, anywhere.
