Who said this? haha.. there are no schools for that! There are three ways I know, one way is hiring a repairer and come out to fix the machines, and it costs! The other way is fix it yourself and you will learn it or write the problem on the other forum, someone may answer your concern. B)

Nevertheless, machines are farely easy to fix, only a few parts that to always needs to take care of as i know.

Hi laurie

I went to the NAMA website and they have a couple of books you can purchase on machine repair. The website is www.Vending.org, and the program is

Technical Services - Health & Safety / Technician Training Program

Thanks

I suggest everyone that is planning on getting into the vending buisness in full force, 20 machines as a minimum, should go to a nama show. You learn alot about the machines and can ask alot of questions. Also it helps if you buy more reliable equipment in the first place to minimize service calls. I have been in the industry for many years and I can tell you that you should never buy a vendo. Mostly because they do not stand behind their products. The best machines I use are royals(804 and 768's) are my favorite. As for repairs search for manules on your Validators and mech's. I suggest you pay attention to tuning a mech from Mars since that is the only major problems they have. The only thing I dont know how to repair myself is refrigeration but I am learning some things.
