Why Tinker Tech

Local, honest, and accountable.

Tinker Tech grew out of hands-on technology work in Windsor — the shop you called when a computer died or a 3D printer needed surgery. Businesses kept asking for the same thing: someone to take care of all of it, properly, every month. That's what we do now.

What makes us different

Built for businesses that hate being oversold

Windsor-Essex basedReal technicians in your community — onsite across Windsor, LaSalle, Amherstburg, Tecumseh, Leamington, and area. When hardware fails, we get in the car.
No lock-in contractsMonth-to-month on managed plans. We keep clients by doing good work, not by holding their passwords hostage.
Plain-English answersYou'll understand what we did, why, and what it cost. No jargon walls, no mystery invoices, no tickets that close themselves.
Security-first defaultsMFA, tested backups, and endpoint protection come standard in our recommendations — not as last-minute upsells after something goes wrong.
Named lead technicianA real person is responsible for your account. You know who answers, and they know your setup before the call begins.
Documentation you ownAssessments, network maps, credentials, response stats — written down and handed to you. Nobody can hold your business hostage with your own information.

How we operate

Principles we actually work by

Fix it properly once. A quick patch that breaks again next month helps nobody. Root cause first, then the fix — and the paperwork explaining both.

Recommend what we'd run ourselves. Our own systems are set up the way we set up client sites. Gear that isn't good enough for us isn't good enough for you.

Say the uncomfortable thing early. If your one-and-only server is a time bomb, you'll hear it clearly with a staged plan — not a scare pitch to replace everything tomorrow, and not silence until it dies.

Bill predictably. Managed plans are flat monthly rates, projects get written quotes, and if something's out of scope you hear it before we do it — never after.

If you leave, you leave whole. Documentation, credentials, and data handed over in full. A client who leaves happy still recommends us — that's the only referral strategy we've got.

What every engagement includes

A written environment assessment • documented network & account inventory • response-time commitments with monthly reporting • hardware replacement roadmap • quarterly reviews • your data and documentation handed over in full if you ever leave
