Key Takeaway

Tire dealers process high-ticket automotive purchases. Network Offset Pricing eliminates the cost.

A set of four tires runs $400–$1,200 installed. Add alignment, rotation packages, and brake services, and average tickets reach $500–$1,500. At 2.5%–3%, a tire shop doing $40,000–$100,000/month in card sales pays **$12,000 to $36,000/year** in processing.

Network Offset Pricing for Tire Shops

4-Tire Package (economy)$480.00$499.20
4-Tire Package (premium)$900.00$936.00
Alignment$100.00$104.00
Brake Pads + Rotors (front)$350.00$364.00
Tire Rotation + Balance$60.00$62.40

Why it works: Tire purchases are planned — customers compare prices and get quotes. Both prices on the quote are transparent. Fleet customers and regular buyers switch to check/ACH for the lower price.
