​

When your existing refrigeration unit fails to maintain optimal cooling performance, our company offers a comprehensive replacement service featuring state-of-the-art, energy-efficient systems. Our complete installation package includes a new compressor, condenser, evaporator, copper tubing, and drier. To initiate the process, please provide details about your current equipment, my technician will expertly install the new system while responsibly disposing of your outdated unit. The all-inclusive cost for this service is $1,350, covering both equipment and professional installation.

For owners of vintage machines such as Vendo, VMC, Cavalier, and similar models, we specialize in upgrading refrigeration systems to ensure reliable performance. The typical timeline for completion is approximately two weeks, delivering a revitalized cooling solution for your classic equipment. All new refrigeration systems come with a one year warranty.

Steps to Proceed with Restoration:

​

1. Shipping: Arrange shipment of your machine to our facility, including your full name, address, phone number, and email with the package. For your convenience, we can recommend a trusted carrier with over a decade of proven reliability.

​

2. Payment Terms: A 50% deposit is required upon acceptance of our quote, payable by check or cash. This policy ensures project commitment, as we have experienced delays in final payment and pickup in the past.

​

3. Completion and Pickup: Upon finishing the restoration, we will notify you to settle the remaining balance. Your fully restored machine will be ready for pickup, with a storage fee of $75 per week applied if not collected within 10 days.

​

Our restoration process is a meticulous, labor-intensive endeavor, requiring over 100 hours per project. As a dedicated collector and restorer since 1990, we take pride in delivering exceptional results. The standard turnaround time is 10-12 months, though this may vary based on the availability of specific parts. We look forward to the opportunity to preserve and enhance the value of your vintage soda machine.
