What Services or Products does your business provide?

We are an automotive repair shop located near downtown Denton. We work on all makes and models, including vehicles 1995 and under! We provide a shuttle service to get you back to work or home while your vehicle is in the shop. Or if you prefer to wait, we offer complimentary drinks & snacks in our customer lounge.

Are there any certifications, awards, or media recognition for the business? Please include certifications that may seem obvious, like certification from the board of health for restaurants.

Our shop won Best of Denton (DRC) as well as Best of Denton County for 2025 (as Lorentz Automotive) with the same staff. New owner was part of that staff and is onsite every day.

How many employees does the business have? Are there any special employees that have a unique story? Are there any employees who have been with the company a particularly long time?

We have 5 full time and 2 part-time employees. The owners have been in the automotive industry for over 25 years.

In your own words, please write a paragraph about how the owner or partners got interested in starting this business. Is the owner the first person in their family to own a business? Did they have a career before starting this business? Were there any specific challenges they faced in opening or keeping the business open?

Husband and wife have always wanted to own their own shop. Jeff grew up working on his own cars with his uncles, and Tinker grew up in a repossession/wrecker service. Automotive interest runs in the family, and we strove for years to own our own shop when given the opportunity to purchase this location here in Denton. We live locally in Krum and are at the shop on a daily.

TINKERZ Automotive was fast, professional while being very caring about the service they were providing! My oil change went very smoothly! 5 stars from me!!!

Tinkerz is so awesome! Super easy to communicate with. I was able to set up an appointment for my turn signal same day and they finished the work very hastily. The whole staff is super nice and cooperative. This is my new car repair place! 10/10 experience across the board.

Explain why a customer should consider your business instead of going to a competitor.

We strive to provide hassle-free, auto repair with integrity and honesty. We want to be informative about what is going on with your vehicle and offer a digital vehicle inspection (with pictures) to back up what we present to you. We offer a 3-year/ 30,000 mi warranty with every repair. We want to be your go-to for automotive maintenance and repairs.

What extra services do you offer that people might not know about? For example, restaurants might offer catering and Car Washes might offer shampooing of seats and carpet.
