Why your mechanic holds your card

They drive out to you, so a small hold saves your visit. It is not a charge.

What happens to the hold

• A hold is not a charge. The amount is set aside on your card and nothing leaves your account unless the job happens.
• After the work, the hold counts toward your final bill, and the rest is charged to the same card. You get a text receipt.
• Cancel in time and the hold is released with no charge. If you cancel late or aren’t there, the business may keep a fee up to the amount shown on the hold page before you entered your card.
• A hold that isn’t used drops off your card by itself, usually within 7 days (your bank decides exactly when).
