High-value card transactions
Repair bills, deposits and vehicle-related purchases can make small rate differences more noticeable than they are for low-ticket businesses.

Why transaction value matters
A fraction of a percent is easier to feel on a £900 repair.
A difference of 0.2% equals £1.80 on a £900 card transaction. Multiply that across servicing, repairs, tyres and deposits, and it becomes worth reviewing the complete statement—not only the advertised rate.

What we review
More than the headline percentage
Debit, credit and commercial cards
The total cost depends on the cards your customers actually use. We review the card mix shown on your statement rather than relying on one headline rate.
Workshop and front-desk needs
Your terminal setup should work for reception, the workshop, vehicle collection and any additional payment points without unnecessary rental costs.
Payments away from the counter
Mobile mechanics, valeters and recovery businesses may need portable terminals or payment links that fit work carried out away from fixed premises.
