Free Card Machine for Tyre Fitters
Tyre work is unplanned by definition: a puncture, a blowout, an advisory that just turned into a fail. Customers arrive stressed, often at the roadside or in a lay-by with a mobile van, and they want to pay and leave rather than stand in an office.
Why it works for tyre fitters
- ✓ 4G terminal for mobile fitting and roadside jobs
- ✓ Quick taps on a £25 repair, PIN on a £400 set of four
- ✓ Next-day payouts to fund tyre stock
Roadside and mobile fitting
A mobile fitter working from a van cannot rely on a customer's WiFi or a card reader tethered to a shop counter. Built-in mobile data means the terminal works in a lay-by, a car park or on a driveway, and the all-day battery survives a full round of call-outs. Payment happens while the wheel nuts are being torqued, not after an invoice email that gets ignored.
From a £25 repair to a full set
Tyre pricing spans a very wide range and a single blended rate keeps it simple: 0.85% is about 21p on a £25 puncture repair and £3.40 on a £400 set of four, with no rental and no fixed monthly cost in between. Because there is no contract lock-in, a seasonal spike around winter tyre changes doesn't leave you tied to a fee structure you no longer need in June.
Keeping stock funded
Tyres are bought in and turned over quickly, so cash flow is the constraint on how much stock you can carry. Next-working-day settlement, Saturdays included, means the weekend's fitting funds Monday's order rather than being three days behind it. Fewer cash payments also means fewer trips to the bank in the middle of a working day.
