Quebec Mechanic Shops Are Paying Too Much in Card Fees — Here’s How to Stop It

Running a garage isn’t easy. Between rising parts costs, labour, and insurance, every dollar counts — yet most mechanics don’t realize how much they’re losing in hidden payment fees every month.

If you’re processing thousands in card transactions, a small percentage here and there might not sound like much… but it adds up fast. Many auto repair shops across Canada are overpaying hundreds — even thousands — of dollars every year just to get paid.

At Canadian Merchants, we believe mechanics should keep more of what they earn.

💸 The Real Cost of Payment Processing in Auto Repair

Here’s the truth: the auto repair industry is considered “high ticket” by most processors. That means they charge higher rates because your average repair invoice is larger than a retail sale.

And while big processors promise “low rates,” they often hide:

• Markup fees on interchange

• Monthly equipment fees

• PCI and statement fees

• 3-year contracts with penalties

That’s money straight out of your pocket.

With Canadian Merchants, you’ll get:

• No contract, no setup fees

• Free wireless or countertop terminals

• Transparent pricing with no surprise increases

• Next-day deposits — because you shouldn’t wait a week to get paid
