Payments for auto repair shops

A brake job, a transmission, a full service: repair bills are large, and a few points on your rate is real money on every one. We show you exactly what you pay and keep the fees on your biggest jobs clean.

Big jobs, bigger fee impact

On a $1,800 repair, even a small percentage difference is money you earned and handed back. Across a month of jobs, the wrong setup quietly costs a shop a lot. We make sure you can see the real cost and that nothing is padded on the work that matters.

For the big jobs, we can also set up customer financing so a customer can say yes to the full repair, which means more approved work for you.

Common questions

Why do repair shops pay so much in card fees?
Repair bills are often large, so a small percentage becomes real money on each job. A clean, transparent setup keeps those fees from being padded on your biggest jobs.
Can customers finance a big repair?
Yes. We can set up customer financing so a customer can pay for a large repair over time, which helps you approve more work without absorbing a large card fee. We confirm it works with your setup first.
