We look at original sale of the vending center as being comprised of two parts; one is the vendor and the other is the security of the installation (enclosure and mask). The cost of the security enclosure and mask is $2000 for the full size vendors regardless of the model; about equal to...

The use of powerful cordless tools is becoming very common (including to the crooks), so vending machines can be destroyed quickly. Many wash operators do not want to spend the “extra money” (as they see it) to make a computer operated vending center as secure as it can be. They have the...

We wish each and everyone across these United States, who checks in on the AutoCareForum now and then, a Very Happy Thanksgiving! We have so much to be thankful for that we often take for granted. Sometimes it is not easy to be "thankful", but we are blessed in so many ways. We, at ShurVend...

We will invoice you for the vendor and ask for a 50% down payment by check or credit card. When we are ready to ship the vendor, we will ask for the balance due by check or credit card. We will then send you a cash rebate in the form of a Visa Gift Card for 10% of the vending system cost...

ShurVend would like to end this year on a happy note. We are having a “SPECIAL YEAR END SALE” until December 31, 2009 of all of our products to make Uncle Sam feel like Santa Claus. Most of our vendors are “packaged together” as Hi-Security units for outside installation; these units consist...

Owner #1—“impressed with my vending, as I told him the 5 vendors are doing over $4K a month” Owner #2—“I did a sales info on the redwood city location; I was shocked, $81,000.” (Vendor installed May, 2004—64 month’s sales) Owner #3—“I just installed the new vending machine (Junior FL) today at...

We are getting calls about vandalism and attempted break-ins from some of our customers who have vendors that are 7-10 years old and didn't buy a cage or other security for their vendor. Back then we did not have security measures like we do now and in some areas of the south it did not really...

ShurVend has taken the opportunity during this slow period to focus on our methodology and take a good hard look at what we do to see if we can build our products better, faster, and at a lower cost. As a result we have #1--completely redesigned our Hole-in-the-Wall vendor to make it better and...

The past 3 years in the car wash business has been difficult, both economically and emotionally, for many in the business. This past year has been extremely tough. We are suffering from the “TOO MUCH” syndrome; #1--too much rain (which we can’t do anything about), #2--too much interference...

We have just added the word "VENDING" in a big letter decal on the front and both sides of the security enclosure (Cage) to make the ShurVend Package more of a "Sore Thumb" in keeping with our belief that high vending sales are the result of the vendor being very obvious to the car wash...

We have been tinkering with different brands and sizes of these lights to find out what is the best way to do this for a long lasting and trouble free installation at a reasonable price. The original 1/2-inch diameter red, white and blue chasing lights were incandescent bulbs (as we later...

The new rules on this forum don't allow for attachments to any posts as we used to do because of the "spammers" around these days. It is inconvenient, but what can we do. Soooooooo, we have to use the new Photo Gallery to post pix of of this new Shammy Package. Please go to the Photo Gallery...

Ghetto Wash, Yes, I think we can do that for you. It will cost you a little extra in shipping. I don't have any on hand at the moment, but they will be here soon. I will post when I have them in hand. Uncle Sam

There was a marketing push some months ago and at the ICA show earlier this year to promote a product called "Sham Wow". There was also a thread on this forum about the Sham Wow. I was contacted by a company that wanted to package a similar synthetic shammy for a vending machine. I told the...

Mars VN 2712R Update We shipped our first Mars VN 2712R $1-$20 validator with a Recycler installed in one of our vendors. We learned the programming of this validator/recycler with a little help from Mars techs and it works very well. The set-up allows us to program up to 30 bills to be...

Wax, Done! Uncle Sam

We have been told by vendor owners with e-Port readers installed that some credit card customers are complaining about the "hold" that is put on their account to make purchases in the vendor takes to long to be cleared. We are informed that USA Technolgies, the e-Port owner, has no control...

Paul, Good questions that need to be answered. The rope lights are secured inside of triangular steel fixtures that we make and the open side of the fixture will be protected from the "college set" with 1/4 inch lexan. The screws that hold the fixtures are under the lexan also so they can not...

We have always been concerned that we do not make installed vendor packages "obsolete" when new technology or new features are developed. This is true with the new "chasing light" feature that has been developed to draw attention to the vending center. We first posted some pix on this forum...

I?m not quite sure how to react to the 2009 WCA show. Mixed emotions, I think!! I had a feeling from preliminary registrations that it would not be well attended and that turned out to be true. I almost didn?t go, but it was great to see many of my customers come by to say ?Hi?, to wear my...
