Payment solutions for the automobile business, from dealerships and repair shops to parts sellers and detailers, with reliable merchant accounts built for high-ticket sales. Apply with confidence.
Automotive businesses carry some of the largest tickets in retail: vehicle deposits and down payments, major repairs, parts orders, performance upgrades and extended service plans. Big transactions, online parts sales and service contracts often trigger holds or volume caps from mainstream processors, and used car dealers, auto brokers and aftermarket parts sellers are frequently classified as high risk.
Daystar offers merchant accounts tailored to automobile companies, with 20 acquiring banks across 4 continents and payment gateways for online sales. As a high risk merchant account provider, we have a 95% approval rate among qualified applicants, most decisions arrive within 24 hours, and there are no long-term contracts. Domestic and offshore processing supports businesses expanding beyond their home market.
Accept EMV and contactless cards for vehicle deposits, repairs, parts, tires, detailing and service plans, with ticket limits that fit high-value work. Signed repair orders and invoices that itemize parts and labor give you documentation if a customer disputes a charge after the car leaves the shop.


Sell parts and accessories online, collect deposits on vehicles, or let customers pay repair invoices through a secure payment gateway. AVS, CVV and velocity filters screen online orders, and tokenization lets you keep a customer’s card on file for approved follow-up work. Online deposits can be applied to the final sale so customers see a clear balance.
Mobile mechanics, detailers, towing services and lot sales staff can take payment on a phone or tablet wherever the car is. Mobile acceptance helps close a sale on the lot and gets service calls paid at completion instead of by invoice. Receipts are sent by text or email right away.

Vehicle purchases, fleet accounts and large repair bills are often paid from a bank account. ACH and eCheck processing lowers your cost on high-ticket payments compared with cards, and fleet customers can pay monthly invoices by bank draft. Funds arrive with remittance details that make reconciliation easier for your office. Customers who prefer to avoid card fees on large balances appreciate the option.

Maintenance plans, car wash memberships, extended service contracts and fleet service agreements run on recurring billing. Automated charges with card-updater tools reduce missed payments, and clear plan terms and renewal notices help keep chargebacks low. Members get predictable monthly charges, and your service advisors spend less time on billing. Car wash and detail memberships benefit most from steady monthly revenue.

Parts sellers, exporters and dealers serving international buyers can accept multiple currencies and use domestic or offshore processing. Pricing in the buyer’s currency helps convert cross-border orders, and fraud screening is tuned for high-value international shipments. Settlement runs through our network of 20 acquiring banks on 4 continents. Shipping parts or vehicles abroad is easier when payments clear in the buyer’s currency.
