You can use several forms of payment at Midas shops including cash, credit cards, and mobile wallets. Its shops accept payments from Apple Pay, Google Pay, and other mobile wallets that use contactless payments. But Midas doesn’t have a mobile app and you can’t shop online there. You can only pay your bill at the auto shop itself. As a result, you can’t use any form of payment to shop online at Midas.

While most auto shops support contactless payments and allow you to pay with mobile wallets now, there are still a few shops that don’t support tap-to-pay such as Firestone. Additionally, many auto service shops are franchised so support for mobile wallets might not be available in all locations. While the Midas shops in my area do accept Apple Pay you should consider looking up the profile of the shop you plan to visit on a service like Apple Maps as well.

While Midas does have a branded credit card that’s issued by Synchrony Bank, it doesn’t support many of the other payment options that are available at other retail stores. You can use Afterpay at its service shops in Australia so it does technically support one BNPL app, but it doesn’t support any BNPL apps in the United States. There are also several other auto shops that have partnered with Synchrony Bank to issue branded credit cards.
