Meika Shea2024-05-02Great owner, honest and helpful - will definitely become a return customer ☺️
Tam Smith2024-04-30Alex is a wonderful jeweler. I have had a few things made and repairs also. Highly recommend and will be back again. I have also had some clothing repairs done, this was also great quality
Courtney Maxwell2024-04-27Very knowledgeable, fast service with brilliant attention to detail. Won't promise anything they can't deliver.
Shiva Tadikonda2024-04-22The Tinkers was a tiny but absolute treasure of workmanship, which goes multifacted Jewellery, Cobbler, Watch repairing and Tailoring, etc.. I visited them with my Tissot watch for a battery change, which was done perfectly and on time. A couple of things that were quite impressive were their honesty, confidence, and customer service. I must say that their accountability towards the job is to the next level and offers a guaranteed workmanship. I have ended up spending relatively low for the same service, which otherwise would have incurred higher. Though it was my first visit, I saw the happy customers on their premises, leaving with a smile. Highly recommend Alex and team!!
Peter Thatcher2024-04-17Very helpful and friendly. Great job done. Great advice received. Small family business, so support it!
Peter Morris2024-04-12Great service from great people
Darryl Cowen2024-03-14Great, fast efficient service. I had a garment altered recently. Very happy with the result. I usually get keys cut and watch batteries replaced. Never had any issues.
Greg Gordon2024-02-01Great service, go there in the first place and get the job done right the first time. I had 4 keys cut at Bunnings and not one worked when I got them home, took them back to be replaced but they wouldn't recut them, they insisted on refunding me and sending me away with no keys and wasted hours of my time. They did suggest I would be better to go to Tinkers in Mountain Gate, the only thing they did do right. The keys from Tinkers were 2 dollars dearer but all 4 worked first time. I'll go to Tinkers first next time and they do clocks and watches repair also and jewellery. Thank you Tinkers.
Kaylene Horne2024-01-30Went today and very happy with the service.
Why Tinkers are the best
We save you time
We’re experts at what we do. Let us take care of your repairs, so that you can spend your time on what you really need to.
We save you money
Buying new all the time can get expensive. It’s often cheaper to buy a better quality product and have it repaired when and if needed. It also reduces unnecessary waste.
Convenient Location
We’re conveniently located at the Mountain Gate Shopping Centre, so you can drop off your repairs before you go shopping.
We care about the earth
With the amount of unnecessary waste growing around the world, we believe that if something can be repaired, rather than thrown away, then it should be!
