During my trip east I made it a learning experience to watch for car washes along the way and observe the amount of vending offered and where it was located. Almost every small town had one or two washes with the larger cities having many, many washes that, in some cases, were only blocks...

The “working vacation” to the mid-west which had been in the planning stage for months, began August 24th with a new Visi-Combo, vendor parts, and luggage loaded into my pickup and ended Sunday, September 3. It takes time to get all the stops organized, the parts ordered and shipped to the...

We are back up and running after the unusual glitches (called human errors), but there is still some work to do to get everything right. I never could figure out why no one had time to do the job right the first time, but they always have time to do it over later!!!!!:mad: Uncle Sam

We upgraded our computer system at ShurVend a few months ago to keep up with the new technology, so we have had a steep learning curve. On the morning I left on my trip to the mid-west last week, my computer froze up!! So I called my computer guy to fix it (and they made great promises), but...

Vendor Sold!!! The large High Security shurVend "51" just sold, but we have more!!! See the post above. Uncle Sam :)

Vendor Sold !! The High Security Shurvend "51" that was listed in the Classifieds on this Forum has been SOLD!!! I hope there is someone else that wanted to buy it, but just hadn't "pulled the trigger". But don't give up!! Out of the blue I got a call from a vending company that had 2 of...

Sell through computer controlled vending machine One of the easiest ways to sell gift cards or value cards is in a computer controlled vending machine. You don't have to do anything but place them in a suitable vending envelope and price them from $20 to $100; the higher the price, the better...

Over the past few years we have been able to obtain a few older vendors that we can update with the latest electronics and parts so they will operate just like a new machine. These used machines are very hard to find anywhere, so it has been sometime since we have had any of these vendors...

We just placed ads for three (3) different ShurVend vendors that are a trade-in, a show demo, and one that was damaged cosmetically by a shipping company. They work just like new, but we can save you some money if you will accept a pre-owned vendor at your wash. Uncle Sam :)

The plastic wrap which everyone uses to wrap pallets for shipping has an adhesive on it so it sticks to itself. We try very hard to keep it from getting on the lexan windows in the cage or vendor, but sometimes we miss. Lexan is very touchy about cleaning compounds, so, if you use the wrong...

John, Pay attention to your wife!! I can add some more vending machines to the 5 you have for a small fee. lol Uncle Sam

A few weeks ago my wife and I traveled almost 2000 miles to visit family, play a little, and see some ShurVend customers along the way. We traveled from Fresno, CA almost to Seattle, WA and back. We made appointments to meet some of our customers, upgrade vendors, do “tune-ups”, and to see...

We posted after the CCWE show in Las Vegas that some visitors to our booth pointed out that our door closure on the lock side of the VendPro-18 and the security cage was vulnerable to prying by a screw driver or pry bar. We accepted their suggestion and built a new design that wraps around the...

Waxman, This usually indicates that the Sensit sytem sees something that it shouldn't. It won't let the machine vend. Here are some things to check: 1. Push the mode key (yellow button) and check for errors on the display. You may see "Sensit Blocked" or Sensit Discont'd error. That may...

rph, What I noticed, as an engineer, is that they used very little steel (rebar) to hold the concrete in place so it fell out in places over the years. The quality of the concrete didn't look very good either; it was probably all hand-mixed where it needed to be poured. Europe is old and...

Bill, We have thought of that and it would probably work very well. We are just looking for a simple and easy way for the operator to secure the merchandiser on his site. New products are being developed every day that are useful in doing a better job. The one we did was our first effort...

We have always recommended installing one of our merchandisers on a concrete pad for security on the wash site, but, in tight economic times like these, we realize that asphalt pads are used in many car wash sites all over the U.S. An operator can save considerable time and cost by not having...

The Forbes magazine covers a multitude of subject matter and a recent issue had an article about how very small companies can use new technology and ideas to create cheaper, simpler and unexpected products that can humble the largest of corporations. We have all seen it happen over the years...

Did just the same as Jon. Uncle Sam :)

The latest Version 1.31 of the Sensit 3 firmware has some new benefits for the operators who want to keep track of the cash (both bill and coin) that should be in the vendor when compared to the total product sales during any time period. When you go into the "Accounting Data" on the control...
