I was at my distributor's shop yesterday. He had several vendors there for sale. I'm not sure if any were the can vendor. Give him a call at 812-948-1200. Ask for Bernie or Brian.

Got standard mechanicals (4) for sale but no bottle vendors

Literally 1000 vendors for sale, & NO TIRE Foam!

You'll make more money from almost any other vending product. Tire foam cans after tax cost $1.20 each, and might sell six in a good week at $2. Little Trees will make about 50 cents each and can sell 4 or 5 a day. The only thing I've tried that sold worse than Tire Foam was the Simoniz wipes.

Aside from all that, I don't recommend the mechanical vendor. It screws up a lot because people want to rip fast on the vend knob and the gate will snap shut on a coin, then all coins from then on drop straight into the tray. The electronic machine is worth the extra cost.

I agree with mep. The previous owner of my wash got rid of mechanical vendors and bought a spiral vender. He said the mechanical vendors were constantly broken. I tried spray bottles and finally gave them away. You can make a good margin on vending, but I consider it more of a convenience for customers than a profit center. Little trees, blue magic window cleaner and tire shine, micro fiber towels and armor all products sell for me. Paper/cloth towels sell but not very fast.

I have both the 3 column and single column mechanical bottle Vendors. Not trouble free but pretty good. Have you tried contacting Laurel directly?

Same as MEP and loewem - I sell the tirefoam cans in a spiral vendor and sell only around 1 per week. Black Jack and the Armor All Extreme tire gel seem to be a lot more popular at my wash.
