Card machines for mechanics, in the workshop or on the road

Take card payments in your workshop, when a customer collects a vehicle or during a mobile call-out. Choose a terminal option that suits your business.

Card machines for mechanics need to fit a day that can move from the workshop to a customer’s driveway. We supply the portable PAX A920 Pro, with a touchscreen, built-in receipt printer, 4G SIM, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. It accepts contactless, chip and PIN, Apple Pay and Google Pay, and connects to many EPOS systems.

Use it for workshop sales or mobile jobs. Its all-day 5,250mAh battery is designed to last through a working day. Our rates are 0.40% for debit cards and 0.80% for credit cards, whichever terminal option you choose. Rates stay fixed for your term. Settlement is free and next day, so funds reach your bank the next working day.

How our card machine fits your working day

Take payment at a roadside call-out

A roadside breakdown or a repair at a customer’s home can take you away from your base. The PAX A920 Pro can take payment wherever there is a mobile signal, so you can settle the bill at the vehicle rather than return to the garage first.

Make vehicle collection straightforward

When a customer arrives to collect a repaired car, you can take payment before handing over the keys. That gives you a straightforward way to complete the job and lets the customer pay by card rather than needing cash.

Take payment across the workshop

In a busy workshop, you may be moving between service bays, the forecourt and reception. A portable terminal lets you take payment where the customer and vehicle are, instead of asking them to come to a fixed till.

Keep card costs clear

Card costs matter when you’re working out margins on servicing, repairs and parts. We charge 0.40% on debit and 0.80% on credit, with the same rates whichever terminal option you choose. Send us a recent card statement and we’ll show you what you’d pay.

A small UK team with roots in small business

We’re a small card payment company based in the Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire. Dave Evans founded us after running a post office and village shop, while his wife ran a shop and café. Frustrated by hidden fees and poor service from larger providers, he set up a business where you can speak to a real person in the UK.

Send us a recent card statement and we’ll show you what you’d pay. After approval, we deliver your terminal the next day. If it develops a fault, report it before 4pm and we’ll arrange a free next-day replacement. Call us on 07798 822817 to discuss your garage or mobile work.
