Mobile mechanics and mobile eftpos terminals

Being a mobile mechanic I find it increasingly difficult not to accept credit card payments for my business. The average sale is around $250 and the call outs I receive are usually from people who require the job done urgently. The reason I have stayed away from accepting credit cards is that I really want to keep my dealings with the bank to a minimum. I believe that they get enough out of me in bank fees every month and I work hard to earn my money. It’s an annoying situation but by accepting credit card payments I would increase my cash flow, and be able to up sell various accessories and services. There is also the time factor in chasing outstanding payments. There are more pro’s than con’s for getting a mobile eftpos terminal, or wireless credit card terminal and probably like a lot of people who are reluctant to change, I just need to move with the times and embrace those new bank fees…wish me luck!
