The thief among us

Most Dealerships are completely unaware that there is a very quiet, very stealthy thief amongst them.

This thief is stealing from the pool of their hard-earned profits in a way that goes almost entirely unnoticed. The thief has stepped into every dealership across the country and comes in the form of the credit card processing fees you are paying every time a card is swiped in your store.

These fees are constantly changing and increasing… and because there is no transparency, your processor typically doesn’t even tell you about it. They simply debit the fees straight from your bank account at the end of the month and get away with it using the fine print buried deep in their terms of service.  This is done completely by design.

The average dealership pays anywhere from $5,000 – $15,000 per month, per rooftop, just to accept credit card payments.  With nearly 90% of consumers paying with Credit Cards in this day and age, the problem is only getting bigger.

Dealerships like yours typically respond in one of two ways:

By passing the processing fees to your Customers, which if done incorrectly, can put you out of compliance and open you up to potential legal issues.

Or by absorbing the costs because your trusted advisors are unintentionally giving you BAD advice because they don’t understand your business.

I founded Dealer Merchant Services to help Dealerships like yours save up to 75% of their Credit Card processing fees, without disrupting CSI.

With over 350+ years of automotive experience on our team, we help car and truck dealers fight back against the dishonest practices that plague this industry and put those hard earned dollars back in your pocket.

Unlike the other options available to dealers, our team is comprised of individuals who live and breathe the automotive industry. Specializing EXCLUSIVELY in Processing Payments for Dealerships. As of December 2024, we’ve helped dealers save well over

$45 Million Dollars and counting.

The world of surcharge isn’t going away. In fact, it’s expanding. The scary part is that many dealerships are not in compliance with their current practices because their existing processor doesn’t specialize in the automotive industry and may not even be aware that they have left the door wide open for potential litigation of their dealership, and the audits are coming!

Surcharging and cash discounting is gaining increased popularity, but there is a right way and a wrong way to implement a program like this.  Dealer Merchant Services will help clear the confusion in the best way to roll this out by keeping disruption to a minimum.  Dealers need to understand the difference between surcharging and cash discounting and why a compliant surcharge is the right choice for the complexities of automotive.  

So, if you are interested in learning how we can save you up to 75% of your existing Processing Fees AND even arm you with the information needed to do this with your current processor, if, for whatever reason you didn’t want to use us, we’d love to give your dealership our “Profit Protection Report” completely FREE.

This analysis alone will show you exactly how much Profit you can put back into your pocket and arm you with the information needed to put you back in the driver’s seat.

All we need are your last 3 Months of credit card processing statements and about 48 hours to show you just how much you could be saving… And show you how much thievery has been taking place in your dealership.
