난이도 & 준비물

증상

In the past when I had a car repaired / serviced, I'd go to the garage, inspect the work and, provided it was satisfactory, I would pay via credit card knowing I had some consumer protection if the car fell apart as a result of poor workmanship.Nowadays many places seem to ask for payment by bank transfer due to high bank charges. They don't even like payment by debit card.It feels like this leaves an element of risk on my side as I could be paying for work I have not seen and not having the credit card protection. Not to mention being poor for cashflow and missing out on credit card bonuses.

My friendly local independent Romanian mechanic is the same - bank transfers preferred, then cash, then card arranged elsewhere.And I don't blame him, especially for maybe half a dozen payments max per day. All the posh PH folk want them to take the card of their choice so they can accrue Avios or Amex points, but the reality is that the cost of card payments is significant:Broadband line (if they don't have one already)Machine rentalPacks of thermal paperSay 1.5% for a credit card transactionSay 80p for a debit card transactionFraud when the card company kicks it back onto youSure there are card processors that you can link to your phone, or offer low charges, but delve into the T&Cs and the low charge might only be for the first 3 transactions per day or first 50 in a month.
