MOT Garages card machine questions
Can it handle a large repair bill alongside an MOT?
Yes, there's no cap on transaction value, so a £400 repair invoice processes the same as a straightforward MOT fee.
Does it cope with the 5pm collection rush?
Yes, contactless taps clear in seconds, so customers collecting keys after work aren't left queuing at reception.
What if test bookings are slow one week?
It's no use no bill, so a quieter week for MOT bookings doesn't cost you anything on the machine.
How fast does Saturday's takings reach the garage account?
Saturday, often the busiest MOT day, settles on the next working day along with every other day of the week.
Can we have a machine at a second reception point?
Yes, additional terminals are £14 a month, useful if you run separate MOT and repair reception desks.
