Auto Repair Payment Solutions

Faster approvals, faster payouts

Repair tickets are large, customers often aren’t at the shop when work finishes, and every approved estimate needs a paper trail. Hermosa Payments helps shops approve work, collect payment and hand back keys faster, from diagnostics to detailing.

What gets in the way

Common payment challenges for auto repair shops

Large tickets.

Major repairs carry high processing costs and high stakes if a card declines.

Customers off-site.

Cars sit ready while you wait for someone to come pay.

Estimate approvals.

Verbal approvals lead to disputes and chargebacks later.

Parts deposits.

Special-order parts tie up cash before the job starts.

Disconnected systems.

Shop software, terminals and accounting don’t match up.

Fleet and commercial billing.

Business accounts expect invoices and terms.

Security and compliance

Secure payments with a clear paper trail

  • Encrypted, tokenized processing that keeps card data off shop computers
  • Digital estimate approvals tied to each payment, to help defend disputes
  • Level 2/3 data for fleet and commercial cards, which can lower their rates

Final compliance depends on the platform chosen and how it is set up.
