I don't know anything about the restoration. We were able to reserve the space for a graduation gathering. They have tables and chairs already there and we were really pleased that we were able to do this at the Vending company. Fun to see all the different stuff and drink out of glass bottles. read more

He took my machine and never returned it while making excuses why it was taking so long, I live 3 hours away and he will regret it when I get through with him. It was a $5,000 machine and only needed a little work. He is a con!!! read more

He was paid to restore 2 machines for me and job is still not complete.He says he will ship items and then nothing shipped.I have heard promise after promise and still my Vendo 110 has not arrived and he did an incomplete jpb on my Cavalier 51. Look him up on NC BBB site and see this is a common theme. 'Stay Away!!!!! read more

I entrusted this man to fix my Cooling unit for my Cavalier Uss-12-96 vending machine. A MONTH ago he saud he would put it on the truck and ship it....I still do not have it! Poor communication and lots of lies telling me he would get back to me, but still, nothing. I have yet to receive my valuable property. Take your business elsewhere! read more

I'm not sure why this business is allowed to operate. The the owner is a smooth, fast talker and will promise you restorations that he has no idea how to do. We purchased a Cavalier 96 which was supposed to be fully restored (his so-called "chocolate-covered cherry"), claimed to be the best in the business. Delivery of the finished machine was many weeks overdue, with constant promises of "I'll ship it out this week", etc. These were all lies. After finally receiving the machine and owning it for two years we started having problems. It was then that we realized that rather than restore the machine, he just simply spray-painted over rust and polished up the chrome. When we called and asked for resolution of the problem, the owner insisted that we build a shipping crate and return the machine, promising to "make it right". At this point, we apparently were blocked since emails and phone calls went unanswered. Too late, we checked on this business with the Better Business Bureau, learning that this is a pattern with this company. If you're looking for soda machine restorations, do your research and stay clear of this con-man. read more

Alan Huffman is a fraud. Drove from Memphis to Granite Falls and gave him candy machine parts. He took them and never restored the machine as promised. I am a lawyer and actually hired a local lawyer to get him to act, but decided it was not worth it. He is a thieving piece of shit. Stay away. read more

I am adding my name to all people who did not read this before doing business with this company. We purchased a cooler/bar from this guy in June and it is now November and we do not have the product. He has told us a dozen times that it has been shipped or is about to be shipped. We have been lied to some many times that I don't think even he knows the truth. The next step is legal and we will pursue with all our abilities. STAY AWAY FROM THIS BUSINESS. read more

I sent Alan Huffman the Coke Machine I inherited from my late grandfather in November and was told I would get it back before Christmas. Six months later he still tells me lies when I text or talk to him. Please DO NOT do business with Antiquities Vending. This person is incapable of telling the truth. I still do not have my machine back. If there was a MINUS star rating I would use it ! read more

Contacted Al Huffman of Antique Vending November,2012. He was going to put together a refridgeration unit for a Kelvinator model. He said it was to take 3-6 weeks. Approx 60 texts later, approx 50% returned, 50% not. Numerous phone calls with lots of promises. "It'll be sent next week" response when he would answer. He supposedly was filmimg a program with Discovery Channel the fall of 2013. Sept, 2013 I received 2 of 3 items. 2 electric fans and a stainless steel panel. I have yet (feb11,2014) to see the compressor unit. I have filed complaints with the NC BBB. A glimmer of hope! He responded that the package was going to be shipped that week. That was the first week of Jan, 2014. He said the unit was complete and being boxed up. I haven't been able to contact him, text's or phone call since. Another BBB complaint was filed. That one has been filed as "unresolved". Feb11, 2014, I have filed a complaint with the NC Bureau of Justice. STAY AWAY from this business unless MAYBE you can see him in person to get answers. I don't know how this business can be allowed to stay running. read more

I contacted Alan Huffman about restoring our coca cola cooler from a wet to dry cooler. No problem, within 4 hours our cooler was on its way to North Carolina. Thats when all the trouble started. Alan kept saying that he would do a great job restoring our machine. Would re-chrome everything, the wheels were painted, not very well, with silver paint. Our machine had all its original parts, do not know what was sent back to us. The underside wasn't even painted and he used black moldy particle board under the machine as support for the box. It took me several months to even get my machine back from him. It was always going to be shipped the next day.Even after filing a complaint with the Granite Falls Police Department [ the officer I filed my complaint with was in Alans wedding]I got nowhere ! ! It wasn't until I filed online with the FBI's IC3 unit did I get my machine back. I hope tha more people follow through with the FBI internet crime unit like I did, then maybe they might have some pull in shutting this guy down! ! ! read more
