Payments for
Auto Shops & Tire Stores
Keep the shop-management system you already run. ZeroG connects compliant, cost-saving payment acceptance to it — or drops in a standalone terminal — so you get paid faster and, where your state allows, keep more of every repair order.
Payments that fit the shop you already run
Auto shops and tire stores don’t run like a retail counter. Your day moves through estimates, work orders, digital inspections, parts, and a customer who often isn’t standing in front of you when the job is finished. Most shops already lean on a proprietary shop-management system built around exactly that workflow — and there’s rarely a good reason to tear it out.
Because ZeroG is platform-agnostic, we start with how your shop actually takes money. We either connect compliant, cost-saving payment acceptance to the system you already use, or set up a standalone smart terminal where that’s the cleaner fit. Either way you keep your workflow, get paid faster, and — where your state permits — keep more of every ticket.
Connect Payments To Your Current System
Your software already handles estimates, work orders, and inspections. ZeroG adds the payment layer around it, so getting paid is as smooth as the rest of the job.
Text- and email-to-pay. Send a secure payment link the moment a repair is approved; the customer taps and pays from their phone — no card numbers read over the counter.
Tap, chip, swipe, and mobile wallets at the counter or out in the bay.
Itemized digital invoices by text or email, so the car is paid for before it’s picked up.
Card on file for fleet accounts and repeat customers, where the platform supports it.
Or A Standalone Terminal — No Integration Needed
Not every shop wants to touch its software. A compact smart terminal sits right beside your current system and simply takes payments.
Tap, chip, swipe, contactless, and digital wallets out of the box.
Runs alongside your existing software — no rip-and-replace, minimal training.
Prints or texts receipts and handles its own batching and reporting.
Flexible hardware options so cost is never the reason to put it off.
Big repair orders mean big processing fees. Where your state permits, ZeroG’s compliant cost-saving programs — such as surcharge or dual-pricing — can offset much of what you pay to accept cards, so more of each ticket stays in the shop. Shops running higher-ticket work often save thousands a year.
We’ll model the numbers on your real volume before you commit, and enable a program only where it’s allowed and makes sense for you.
Cost-saving program availability and eligibility vary by state, card type, and platform. Programs are enabled only where permitted.

Common Questions
Do I have to replace my shop-management software?
No. Most shops keep the proprietary system they use for estimates, work orders, and inspections. ZeroG connects compliant payment acceptance to it, or sets up a standalone terminal beside it — you keep your workflow.
Can customers pay before they pick up the car?
Yes. We can set up secure payment links sent by text or email, so a customer approves the repair and pays from their phone. The car is ready to hand over the moment they arrive, and no one reads a card number over the phone.
How much can a shop actually save?
It depends on your ticket sizes, card mix, and state rules. Where permitted, compliant cost-saving programs like surcharge or dual-pricing can offset a large share of processing costs, and higher-ticket shops often save thousands a year. A ZeroG specialist will model your real numbers before you decide.
What if I don’t want to integrate anything?
That’s fine. A standalone smart terminal accepts tap, chip, swipe, and mobile wallets and runs right beside your current system — no rip-and-replace and very little training.
Is it secure?
Payments run on PCI-compliant processing with encryption and tokenization, so card data is protected whether you take it in the bay, at the counter, or through a link.
Can you handle fleet accounts and maintenance plans?
Yes. Card-on-file, recurring billing, and account invoicing are available where the platform supports them — useful for fleet customers and repeat maintenance.
