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.
— it’s fast, easy, and all done from your phone!

We currently support inspections in multiple states, and we’re working on adding more soon.
How long does the inspection take?
Expect your inspection to take around 15–20 minutes with a Tinker ASE-certified expert.
What makes Tinker DIY’s inspection service different from other options?
Tinker offers fully virtual inspections, eliminating the need for in-person visits, scheduled appointments, and extended wait times.

Tinker DIY offers live, one-on-one video inspections with certified mechanics - no self-recorded videos or AI-only reviews. You get up to 3 attempts included, with clear, upfront pricing and a fast, professional experience from your phone. Unlike some services that rely on photo uploads or automated checks, Tinker’s inspections are fully accepted by Uber and Lyft, making it one of the most reliable and convenient options available.
Is this a video inspection? How does it work?
Yes! Tinker connects you with a certified mechanic through 1:1 video chat to complete your Uber, Lyft, or Turo inspection anytime, anywhere. Simply download the app, register an account, and tap to start the inspection service.
What’s included in a Tinker Rideshare or Car share inspection?
Tinker offers a 19-25 point vehicle inspection approved by rideshare companies like Uber and Lyft and car share companies like Turo. This inspection checks key safety and mechanical features to ensure your car meets the requirements to start driving.

Do I need to schedule an appointment for my rideshare inspection?

How do I receive my completed inspection form to submit to Uber, Lyft, or Turo?
You will receive the completed inspection form via email. You must upload the form to your driver profile yourself and submit the form directly to Uber, Lyft or Turo.
Will I receive a printed copy of the inspection form?
No, Tinker does not provide printed copies of the inspection report. You’ll receive a digital inspection report by email shortly after your inspection is complete. Easy to save and upload as needed, and available for your records.
What should I do if I haven’t received my inspection form?

If your inspection form hasn’t arrived within 1-hour after completing your session, don’t wait!
Reach out to support@tinkerdiy.com.

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.
