If you found 7538 on a payment processing form, it may be MCC 7538, "Automotive Service Shops (Non-Dealer)." MCC 7538 is a card-network category that can include general or specific automotive services. SIC 7538 is a separate industry classification for General Automotive Repair Shops. The number and subject overlap, but the systems are not interchangeable.
SIC 7538 is for general automotive repair rather than a single specialty. These business types remain under the same four-digit SIC code, with 2022 NAICS 811111 providing the closest current federal classification.
