First Page for mobile mechs →A transmission rebuild is $2,000. The card processing fee is $70. Across 15 big tickets a month, that's $1,000 in pure margin loss — every month, every shop, every year. Most owners just absorb it because "that's how cards work." It's not how cards have to work.
"Most practices net the same revenue or higher because the card processing cost is covered by card-paying customers." — Practice Pays · Cacele Services
The other half of the math is the bay that didn't fill. Tuesday morning at a four-bay shop is a different day than Saturday at noon — and most shops just hope the phone rings. Calendefy lets customers self-book a drop-off slot 24/7, fills the empty Tuesday, and dispatches the day across techs without the service writer running it from a clipboard.
Practice Pays fixes the back end with dual pricing. Calendefy fills the front end with self-serve booking. Both are bookable individually — neither is bundled into the other.
Practice Pays handles dual pricing on auto repair tickets where the dollar amounts are big enough to make a real difference. Card-paying customers cover the processing legally with proper disclosure. Cash, check, and ACH customers get the lower price.
Customers see two prices on every estimate — one for cash, check, ACH; one for card with the processing transparently disclosed. Card-paying customers cover the fee legally. Most shops net the same revenue or higher.
Multi-location merchant accounts for chains and dealership service departments with consolidated reporting across every bay. Same-day funding on standard transactions so cash flow doesn't sit in batch overnight.
Compliant cash-discount / surcharge program with point-of-sale disclosure, signage, and merchant agreement.
Consolidated reporting across every bay and shop. Per-location reconciliation built in.
Card payments funded next business day standard, same-day for an upgrade. Cash flow doesn't sit in batch.
Posts payments and reconciles in major shop management and dealership DMS systems.
Sign up directly — flat platform pricing plus per-transaction. Most shops net the same or higher with dual pricing enabled.
Calendefy is the bay scheduler that lets customers self-book drop-offs 24/7 — and gives the service writer one live calendar across every tech in the shop. No more clipboard. No more "I'll call you back to schedule."
Customers tap "Book a drop-off" on your shop's link or website and pick a slot — oil change, tire rotation, full diagnostic, or specific concern. The service writer sees the day on a live calendar with the right vehicle, customer history, and notes for every appointment.
Recurring service intervals (oil change at 5,000 miles, tire rotation at 7,500, brake inspection at 30,000) auto-rebook with reminders so customers come back on schedule — and CraftMail.ai sends the recall texts.
Customers book drop-off times on their phone — even at 2AM after a breakdown.
Per-bay and per-technician availability. Drag jobs across techs as the day evolves.
Oil change at 5K, rotation at 7.5K, brake check at 30K. Auto-rebook reminders fire on schedule.
"Your appointment is tomorrow at 8AM" texts cut no-shows; "your tech is on the way" texts for mobile mechanics.
