BILT Payments LLC Streamlines Auto Repair with Innovative Transmission Fluid Drain Pan
New York, NY – October 26, 2023 – BILT Payments LLC, a rapidly growing fintech company based in New York City, is making waves in the automotive repair industry, not with payment solutions directly, but with a surprisingly practical tool: a reimagined transmission fluid drain pan. You might be thinking, “A drain pan? From a payments company?” Yep. It’s a story about identifying a real pain point and applying problem-solving skills beyond their core business. And mechanics are loving it. BILT Payments, located at 31 Bond St Apt 6, New York, NY, 10012-2782, and reachable at 217-420-5144, originally started as a company focused on creating frictionless payment experiences. But during internal brainstorming sessions, the team realized a consistent frustration across many service industries – messy, inefficient processes with seemingly minor tools. They started noticing how many complaints centered around simple things, like catching fluids during maintenance. “We were talking to a lot of shop owners about payment processing,” explains a BILT Payments spokesperson. “And it kept circling back to the everyday hassles. One mechanic was really frustrated with his drain pan – it was always overflowing, hard to pour, and just a general mess. It seemed like a small thing, but it was costing him time and money. That got us thinking – could we actually improve a drain pan?" And improve it they did. BILT Payments spent months researching existing drain pans, talking to mechanics, and prototyping different designs. The result is a transmission fluid drain pan that's quickly becoming a favorite among auto repair professionals. So, what makes this drain pan different? It's not just a plastic tub. First off, it’s built tough. This isn’t some flimsy, easily cracked pan. BILT Payments opted for high-density polyethylene (HDPE) – the same material used in a lot of robust industrial containers. Mechanics are known to bump and scrape their tools, so durability was key. It can handle the rigors of daily shop use. One mechanic in Illinois put it this way: “I’ve already dropped this thing a dozen times, and not a scratch. My old one cracked on the first drop!” But the real innovation lies in the design features. The BILT Payments drain pan boasts a significantly larger capacity than most standard pans. This means fewer trips to empty it, saving valuable time during busy service appointments. “With the volume of transmissions we handle, we were constantly emptying the old pan,” says a shop foreman in New Jersey. “This one holds a lot more, which is a huge time saver.” However, capacity isn’t everything. The pan also features a unique, strategically placed handle. It’s not just slapped on the side. The handle is molded into the pan's design, providing a balanced and secure grip, even when the pan is full. This minimizes the risk of spills and splashes, keeping the shop floor cleaner and safer. And speaking of spills, the pan also has a specially designed spout. It's not just a notch cut out of the side. The spout is angled and shaped to provide a controlled, drip-free pour. This makes it easy to transfer the used fluid into recycling containers or disposal drums without making a mess. Mechanics are raving about this feature – it’s a simple addition that drastically improves the entire fluid handling process. "The pour spout is a game-changer," says a technician in Florida. "I used to dread emptying the drain pan, always worried about spilling. Now, it's quick, clean, and easy." Beyond the practical features, BILT Payments also considered the issue of storage. The pan is designed to be stackable, meaning shops can store multiple pans neatly and efficiently when not in use. This is a significant advantage for shops with limited space. Why is a Fintech Company Making Drain Pans? It might seem like a strange move for a company specializing in payment solutions, but BILT Payments sees a broader opportunity. They believe that by focusing on solving everyday problems in various industries, they can build a reputation for innovation and customer-centricity. "We're not just a payments company," explains the spokesperson. "We're a problem-solving company. We saw a need in the automotive repair industry, and we used our resources and expertise to create a better product. It's about building trust and demonstrating our commitment to our customers, even in areas outside of payments." The drain pan is just the first step. BILT Payments plans to expand its line of automotive tools and accessories in the coming months, focusing on products that address common pain points and improve efficiency in the shop.
