EBS for Auto Repair
Big Tickets Deserve Clear Pricing
Auto repair runs on deposits, progress payments, and balances at pickup — on tickets big enough that card costs actually matter. We build the payment flow around the job, and we put the interchange math where you can read it.

01How Auto Repair Gets Paid
Follow the Job, Not the Register
A repair order is not a single sale — it is a deposit, maybe a mid-job payment, and a balance when the keys change hands. Your payment setup should follow that arc.
01
Deposits on Big Jobs
Take a deposit when the job is booked, so parts and bay time are covered before the work starts — not floated on your shop's credit.
02
Progress Payments
Bill in stages on long or expensive jobs instead of carrying the whole ticket until pickup day.
03
Balance at Pickup
Settle the balance at the counter or out in the service drive, with the customer standing there and the car ready.
04
Phone & Keyed Payments
Approve additional work by phone and take the card right then — no waiting for the customer to come back in to keep the job moving.
05
Fleet & Commercial Cards
Accept the fleet and commercial cards your business accounts already carry, on the same setup as everything else.
06
High Tickets, Honest Math
Rewards and corporate cards carry higher interchange — that is the card brands' pricing, not a processing fee trick. The win is seeing exactly what each card costs you, and pricing your work with your eyes open.
02The Right Setup
Counter, Desk, and Service Drive
Three places a shop takes money: the service desk, the counter, and the car itself. Each one gets the device that fits it.
Counter
Valor VP100 / VP300
Countertop terminals for the service desk — deposits, balances, and parts-counter sales. $35 Equipment Placement Program.
Drive
PAX A920 Pro
A handheld terminal for the service drive — take the balance at the car, not back inside at a line. $35 Equipment Placement Program.
Counter
Quantum QD4
An Android countertop terminal for a second station when the front counter gets busy. $35 Equipment Placement Program.
03What It Costs
Priced in the Open
On high average tickets, the pricing model matters more than the hardware. Here is ours, in full — the complete breakdown lives on our pricing page.
Rate
Interchange + 0.50%
You pay the published interchange cost of each card plus our 0.50% processing fee. Bring us a statement and we will decode your true effective rate — free.
Monthly
$35/mo Flat
Merchant services are $35 a month, flat. That is the whole sentence — no separate line-item surprises.
Equipment
$35 Placement
Modern equipment placed for a one-time $35 shipping & handling fee. No lease, no monthly rental. Equipment stays EBS property under the Merchant Equipment Agreement — or buy it outright at store prices.
