In-person reviews are available locally in the San Fernando Valley area. For Ventura County, the review happens by phone, video, and email, and in-person meetings are by arrangement; ask when you book.
California rules apply here too. Under a cash discount program, customers who pay by card see a non-cash adjustment (the posted card price), and customers who pay cash receive a discount. Cash discount and surcharge programs are subject to card-brand rules and California law (including Cal. Civ. Code §1748.1 and the state’s Honest Pricing Law). A compliance review is recommended before any program goes live. This isn’t legal advice.

Local questions.
Do you meet in person in Thousand Oaks or Simi Valley?
By arrangement. Ask when you book. Most owners start with a call and an emailed statement, and the review works fully by phone or video.
Do I need new equipment to switch?
Not necessarily. It depends on your equipment, the program, and compatibility.
Are California rules the same in Ventura County?
Yes. California’s cash discount and surcharge rules apply statewide, along with card-brand rules. This isn’t legal advice.
