What’s the first step to starting my Tinker inspection?
Download the Tinker app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. Once installed, create an account and complete your profile — including selecting which rideshare (Uber or Lyft) or car share (Turo) platforms you're driving for, so we can match you with the correct inspection form. Then just follow the prompts in the app and tap to get connected with a live Expert. You’ll be guided step-by-step through your virtual inspection. Make sure you're near your vehicle in a bright location and have all required info on hand.

How often do I need an inspection?
To remain compliant with Uber, Lyft, and Turo requirements, a vehicle inspection must be completed annually or every 50,000 miles, whichever occurs first. Additionally, any time you add a new vehicle to your driver profile, a new inspection is required. We recommend scheduling your inspections promptly to ensure uninterrupted driving privileges.
Does the vehicle need to be registered in my name?
No, however, you must be listed on the insurance policy.
