High-volume dual pricing

    Dual Pricing for Auto Repair and Tire Shops

    A few percentage points on a large repair order can erase hours of labor margin. Pine Payments helps auto repair and tire shops offer clear cash and card prices, reduce processing costs, and keep checkout simple for customers.

    Why card fees hit repair shops harder

    • Large tickets. Repair orders commonly combine parts and labor, making each card fee more noticeable.
    • Tight parts margins. Processing costs can consume margin already pressured by supplier prices.
    • Card-heavy checkout. Customers often use credit cards for unexpected repairs and larger invoices.
    • Customer communication. Cash and card prices must be displayed clearly before payment.

    A customer-friendly dual pricing setup

    • Clear cash and card prices. Customers see their options before choosing how to pay.
    • Countertop equipment. Use modern terminals that fit a busy service counter.
    • Signage support. We help make pricing disclosures clear at check-in and checkout.
    • Statement review. See your current effective rate and potential savings before switching.
