Mobile Mechanics card machine questions
Does it work at the roadside?
Yes. The terminal has a 4G SIM built in, so it works on a verge or in a lay-by without WiFi.
Can I take a parts deposit?
Yes, in person or by phone, so you are not funding a parts order out of your own pocket.
Can a fleet manager pay remotely?
Yes. MOTO payments let a manager settle by phone while you are still with the vehicle.
Is there a monthly rental?
No. The first terminal is free with a £0 monthly bill, so you only pay on what you take.
How long does the battery last?
A full working day of call-outs on a single charge, and it recharges in the van between jobs.
