Register Your Interest in Tinker Town!
Welcome to Tinker Town!
Why are we creating Tinker Town?
We want to create a safe space for gear heads like ourselves to work on and build up our rigs incase getting someone else to do it isn't for you. We understand that not everyone has access to proper tools, equipment or a suitable space to work on your pride and joy.
We have noticed a consistent trend of sub-par work being performed on DIY builds which not only can impact re-sale value, appearance and performance, but most importantly safety of you and other road users. We believe making a safe and professional place to do this will not only be a game changer for ease of work, but also making your cars safer on the road by helping to prevent dodgy D.I.Y workmanship.
In the process we hope to create a positive community and club of enthusiasts to get along and make a shared and affordable workspace with added perks along the way to sweeten the deal, as well as wanting to create learning opportunities. Some of the perks we believe would be beneficial would include, discounted parts & upgrades, other industry membership perks, social aspects, industry knowledge and education.
