As long as you phrase that way, and make it a common practice. Good luck arguing that in court however if the CA AG wants to come after you. And if the CC card finds out, you can say bye to being able to process credit card charges directly due to violating the payment card rules.
But this is another conversation for another time. Just wanted to say generally, that surcharges are illegal, and consumers should always push back then decide for themselves whether or not to proceed with the transaction. Either way, a $500 difference (discount) is absolutely a shady practice. $5-10 maybe. But that much of a difference would make me walk away and never do business with that shop. That's just me though, so if OP wants to proceed no harm no foul, I know the shop he is talking about at least does good work.
