Repair shops, parts suppliers, detailers and dealers — large tickets, deposits and staged billing.
Automotive work rarely finishes at the price it was quoted. Parts change, additional faults appear, and the final invoice is agreed after the vehicle is already on the ramp. That makes documented authorisation at each stage the difference between a clean payment and a dispute you cannot defend.
Hold a card for parts, capture the final amount when the work is signed off.
Higher per-transaction limits, with ACH as an option on the biggest invoices.
Take payment at collection or roadside rather than invoicing afterwards.
Separate reporting for the counter and the workshop on the same account.
A signed or texted approval of the revised amount is your evidence if the total is challenged.
Photograph the fault, record the customer's approval, attach it to the job.
Once the vehicle leaves, recovery is much harder and disputes are more likely.
Yes — pre-authorise now and capture the final total later. Confirm the authorisation hold period on your platform.
Fleet cards and commercial cards carry different interchange treatment. Tell us your mix so pricing reflects it.
Written approval at each change of scope, itemised invoices, and photographs of the work carried out.
