Alan huffman shop is close to Charlotte

I would stay away from Alan. Everything is way too high and look at the problems other members have had with him.

      I know first hand that Mr Huffman has accepted money and
failed to deliver. This was a big mistake because I just recieved one of his biggest
accounts (Coca Cola) who is now suing him for a machine they bought and
never recieved a year ago. Other lawsuits against him are also pending.
       I don't mean to gossip,and I don't even know the man but this forum is to help
members protect each other. Also this subject should have been started in a new post,
not in Cindy's conversation  :blush:

I went a head and split the topic...

Yep Leonard (Ltransam) had some serious problems with him. I also remember someone here sending him a cooling system and it came back an unusable mess. I think he has good intentions but his company just grew too fast and he couldn't keep up.

Josh,

That would be me with the jacked up cooling system. I would never use him again and I highly recommend that others stay away as well. Just my two cents from a personal experience.

 I do remember Leonard (LTransam) having problems  getting his cooler done /back
 and I remember leonard saying  Al  said he was having problems . 
 I've only talked to Alan 2 time  and he was very nice to me both time, To have
him do a machine or a cooling unit well I've already heard two reasons
why not to have these services done by Alan and those are from
our good members & friends Brian & Leonard.

  Glen  you said you pick up an account of Alan's  Coca Cola  do you mean the
 Corp. or  a local bottler ?   So you would be restoring machines and signs for them?
   Well good for you to get it.

Hello, All  :happydrinkers:

        Coca Cola Enterprises in Los Angeles covers most of the
Southwest states. They wanted to give a customer a "gift" with
their name on it. They contacted Alan through his elaborate web
site and ordered a machine from him and were very happy with it.
        That investment must have paid off for them because soon
they ordered another machine from him and pre-paid it. They have
been getting the runaround from him for over a year and had
promissed a machine to a client. That's when they started looking
for someone local and found me.
         I have a Vendo 81B waiting for them to pick up next week,
it's for someone who owns a large number of service stations.
         They have already placed an order for a second Vendo 81
for a man named Terrible Herbst. He has a large holdings in Gas
stations and mini-marts in Nevada as well as Casino and off-road
motorsports. They want to present him with a machine by the end
of the year.  Also they requested his logo to be added, this could
be fun :biggrin:
          

I guess I've been to one of Terrible's stations.
A few years back, I was driving home, stopped for gas and they gave me a Terrible's Casino coozie.

I had a unpleasant experience with Alan as well. Alan really seems like a nice guy but he took right at a year to make good on our deal. Sorry but this is not the way I conduct business.

I only said Alan since he is close to were she was from. Its about a 45 minute drive. Maybe he would had something unrestored for her to use. Sorry i mentioned his name but he still has a ad on this site.
