Chuck & Greg from Tinkr were very helpful finding the correct auto transmission filter kit for us, fast & efficient, overnight delivery at a very reasonable price $127, both Repco & Supercheap quoted $439. This is first time we have dealt with Tinkr Limited and we would not hesitate to purchase from them again. Thanks for the fantastic service!

I have made multiple purchases from this company, and their service consistently exceeds my expectations. Last week, I urgently needed some parts and, based on my previous positive experiences, I chose TINKR once again. As expected, their service was exceptional. A special thanks to Greg at TINKR for a job well done.
