Fix-It Pros Vending Service
A Dayton-area vending repair service covering coin mechanisms, bill acceptors, electrical issues, control boards, and general maintenance.
Problem
Vending owners lose revenue while a machine sits down, but many do not know whether the failure is a coin mechanism, bill acceptor, motor circuit, controller, wiring, or simple setup issue.
Description
What I built or investigated
Fix-It Pros packaged local vending diagnostics into a clear Dayton-area field-service offer with paid diagnosis before unnecessary repair work.
Iterations
The work did not happen in one jump.
- 01
Defined the service around coin mechanisms, bill acceptors, control boards, electrical issues, and general repair.
- 02
Created multiple flyer versions and refined the value proposition from generic repair to reduced downtime and honest diagnosis.
- 03
Completed paid field diagnostics and used real calls to improve pricing and boundaries.
Result
Where the project landed
A tested service concept with paid customer work and reusable diagnostic experience.
Lessons
What carried forward
- The first product is often diagnosis, not repair.
- Clear scope and service-call pricing prevent open-ended unpaid troubleshooting.
- Honesty about what should not be repaired builds trust.
