Payments that keep up
with every bay in your shop.
Large repair invoices, parts deposits and payment links for customers who aren't on site — set up on the processor that fits your garage, body shop or dealership service department, with a bilingual team in Montréal.
THE CHALLENGE
Big tickets, busy counters and customers who aren't there.
What garage, body shop and service-department owners tell us complicates payments.
01
Large repair invoices
Repairs and tires often mean high-value transactions, where every point of processing cost adds up quickly.
02
Customers who aren't on site
Drivers drop off their vehicle and leave. Getting approval and payment before pickup shouldn't require a phone call and a card number read aloud.
03
Parts deposits and special orders
Special-order parts and long jobs tie up cash unless deposits are collected up front.
04
Disputes over repair work
Without clear authorization and signed estimates, a disagreement can turn into a chargeback.
WHAT SAVPAY SETS UP
A payment setup built for the service counter.
We configure the processor, terminals and connections for repair shops, body shops, tire centres and service departments.
Large-ticket card payments
Chip, tap and Interac debit at the counter, with pricing explained for high-value repair invoices.
Payment links before pickup
Text or email a secure payment link with the final invoice, so customers pay before they arrive.
Shop-software connections
Payments that connect with your shop-management or dealership software where it supports our processors.
Deposits for parts & long jobs
Collect deposits for special-order parts, body work or seasonal tire bookings when the job is approved.
Authorizations & signed estimates
Card authorizations and digital records that support your estimate and help resolve disputes.
Portable terminals for the lot
Take payment at the vehicle, at the tire bay or during a roadside service call.
AT THE COUNTER
Faster pickups, fewer surprises at the counter.
When the invoice is ready, the customer pays by link before they arrive or taps at the counter in seconds. Your service advisors spend less time on payment and more time on the next customer.
- Payment links sent with the final invoice
- Tap, chip, Interac debit and mobile wallets
- Emailed receipts with the work order
- End-of-day reports by advisor or bay
DEPOSITS & APPROVALS
Get approval and a deposit before the work starts.
For special-order parts, collision repairs or seasonal tire changes, collect a deposit when the customer approves the estimate. A clear record of the approval protects you if questions come up later.
- Deposits by payment link or at the counter
- Card authorizations for approved estimates
- Booking deposits for seasonal tire changes
- Clear records to help resolve disputes
