Deposits, invoices, and large-ticket repairs — handled with ease.
From independent mechanics to tire shops and full-service garages, Caribbean Payments gives Puerto Rico’s auto repair businesses the tools to take deposits, invoice fleet accounts, and settle big repair bills securely. One low rate for every ticket, whether it’s a quick oil change or a complete engine rebuild.
The repair-shop reality
Auto repair isn’t a flat-rate business. Tickets swing from small maintenance jobs to major overhauls, parts have to be ordered before the work starts, and fleet and insurance accounts expect clean invoicing. Your payment setup should handle all of it without slowing down the shop.
One car needs an oil change, the next a full engine rebuild. Your processing has to handle a $45 sale and a $4,500 sale with the same low, transparent rate — no surprise fees eating your margin on the big jobs.
Special-order parts and labor commitments tie up your cash. Collecting a deposit up front protects the shop when a customer changes their mind — and keeps your parts account healthy.
Fleet accounts, insurance work, and repeat customers all need clean invoices they can pay quickly. A pay-by-link or emailed invoice gets money in the door faster than waiting on a check.
Why Caribbean Payments
Send a professional invoice for a diagnosis or full rebuild and collect a deposit up front, so parts are ordered with money already in hand — no chasing the customer after the work is done.
A fast EMV terminal at the service desk lets customers dip, tap, or pay with a mobile wallet the moment they pick up the vehicle — keys handed over, payment settled, bay cleared for the next job.
Take payment right at the vehicle or in the lot with a mobile card reader paired to a phone or tablet. Perfect for tire shops, mobile mechanics, and roadside service anywhere in Puerto Rico.
Engine and transmission jobs run into the thousands. End-to-end encryption, EMV chip acceptance, and full PCI compliance protect every high-value transaction — and help you fight chargebacks with confidence.
Recommended hardware
For most auto repair shops we recommend the Clover Flex — a rugged, all-in-one handheld that accepts chip, tap, and mobile-wallet payments, prints receipts, and moves from the front counter to the bay whenever you need it. Pair it with our invoicing and deposit tools and your shop is ready for any ticket size.

The best setup for an auto repair shop combines an in-shop EMV terminal for pickups, invoice and deposit tools for parts and big jobs, and a mobile reader for tire and roadside service. At Caribbean Payments we build that mix around how your shop actually works and back it with a local Puerto Rico support team — so you can take a $40 oil change or a $4,000 rebuild with the same low rate.
Yes. You can send a customer a secure payment link or invoice and collect a deposit before any special-order part is placed or labor is committed. That protects your shop's cash flow, keeps your parts account current, and makes the final balance easy to settle when the vehicle is ready for pickup.
Engine, transmission, and collision jobs are high-ticket, so security matters. Every transaction runs through EMV chip acceptance, end-to-end encryption, and full PCI compliance, which protects both your shop and your customer. That same secure record also gives you strong documentation to help win any chargeback dispute on a large repair.
Absolutely. A mobile card reader pairs with a phone or tablet over Bluetooth so you can accept chip, tap, and mobile-wallet payments right at the vehicle, in the bay, or on a roadside call. It is ideal for tire shops, mobile mechanics, and fleet service anywhere in Puerto Rico — you get paid on the spot instead of billing later.
