In our Gastonia warehouse, we don’t see dusty, outdated vending machines—we see opportunity.

While others may view an older unit as scrap, our team sees the foundation of a high-earning asset. The journey from the “vending graveyard” back to the front lines of a busy breakroom is a meticulous process we proudly call the Resurrection.

At Automated Services International, we’ve built our reputation on proving that with hard work and specialized knowledge, these machines can become a powerful source of extra income. Choosing refurbished vending machines isn’t just about saving money—it’s about investing in equipment that meets the ASI standard for reliability, performance, and long-term profitability.

The Anatomy of an ASI Transformation

A true “resurrection” is far more than a cosmetic refresh. It is a complete mechanical and aesthetic overhaul designed to ensure your vending machine performs flawlessly for years.

Here’s what happens behind the scenes:

• Deep Component Testing

  We don’t simply inspect components—we stress-test them. From control boards to coin mechanisms, every electronic system must meet strict performance standards before approval. This process ensures operational consistency and reduces costly downtime.

• Cooling Restoration

  Our technicians specialize in restoring and optimizing cooling systems, ensuring beverages remain crisp and cold—even during the peak of a North Carolina summer. Temperature stability is essential for both customer satisfaction and product integrity.

• Aesthetic Revival

  We strip down exterior panels to remove years of wear and apply professional-grade finishes that allow the machine to blend seamlessly into corporate offices, schools, fitness centers, and healthcare facilities.

• Tech Integration

  Modern consumers expect convenience. That’s why many restored units are upgraded with cashless payment technology, allowing operators to accept mobile and card payments. According to the National Automatic Merchandising Association, cashless vending continues to expand as consumer payment preferences evolve.

High Performance Without the High Price Tag

One of the biggest advantages of an ASI resurrection is the impact on your bottom line. You receive equipment that looks and performs like new—without the steep investment required for a brand-new unit.

Lower upfront costs allow you to scale your vending route faster, expand into more locations, and improve return on investment. Operators who invest in professionally restored equipment often grow their routes more efficiently than those who overspend on new inventory.

Investing in refurbished equipment also supports environmental responsibility. Extending the lifecycle of commercial machinery reduces industrial waste and supports sustainable manufacturing, a growing priority for businesses nationwide, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

Built for Growth, Backed by Expertise

At ASI, we don’t simply restore machines—we prepare operators for success. Our team provides hands-on support and technical guidance, enabling you to maintain peak performance long after installation.

Whether you're building a new route or expanding an existing one, selecting high-quality restored equipment from our vending machines' inventory ensures your fleet remains dependable, professional, and profitable.

Our Gastonia technicians take pride in every unit that leaves our warehouse. Each machine embodies craftsmanship, accountability, and a commitment to helping entrepreneurs establish sustainable long-term revenue streams.
