SHOPS ARE EXPANDING THEIR PAYMENT
OPTIONS-AND THEIR BOTTOM LINES
T
he premise is quite simple. The easier it is for vehicle owners to pay for their repairs, the more likely it is that they'll
approve those repairs. That's why more and more shops are
partnering with companies to offer mobile text payments, inshop credit card processing and affordable financing options.
Award-winning automotive software company, BOLT ON
TECHNOLOGY, bundles these three capabilities together and
offers them free with their integrated and standalone tools.
MOBILE TEXT PAYMENTS
Offering mobile payment options to customers not only provides
a faster, more positive experience for them, it also improves the
overall efficiencies of automotive shops everywhere. BOLT ON's
Text To Pay capabilities allow customers to pay quickly and securely
using their mobile devices. Shops simply send a text message with
a link containing their itemized invoice once the vehicle is complete
and ready for pickup. When customers click on the link, they are
able to see all of the services performed and their associated costs.
They can enter their payment information right from their device
and the shop will receive an alert that the invoice is paid. Since they
already checked out, customers can quickly pick up their vehicles
and be on their way.
ALTERNATIVE FINANCING OPTIONS
It's not uncommon for shops to recommend services that are
needed to safely operate vehicles, but are told by customers that
they can't afford them or they'll take care of them next time. By
partnering with financing companies, shops can offer customers
affordable financing options that increase their AROs, while
ensuring the safety and wellbeing of their customers and their

communities. Shops using BOLT ON, text an application form
directly to the vehicle owner's mobile device in real-time. Both the
information and the credit approval will be received within minutes
so there's no delay. Loan amounts can range between $350 and
$5,000 to be used for part of all of the services performed. It's
a win-win. Vehicle owners get the financing they need for those
much-needed repairs and shops get paid instantly.
IN-SHOP CREDIT CARD PROCESSING
Vehicle repairs can be expensive and often come without warning.
That's why many people rely on using their credit cards in order
to pay for the costs. In fact, if a shop doesn't accept credit cards,
vehicle owners will choose one that does. BOLT ON makes
accepting credit card payments secure and easy for both shops and
their customers.
