What Customers Say about Soda City Restorations
Bottle stuck in machine door.
Ray walked me thru the steps to get our Coke machine working after a bottle got stuck in the door.
I am so glad I located Ray and will be using his help if needed again down the road. Thank you Ray!
Helpful
Ray is a great guy. Easy to work with. Knowledgeable! We resolved all the issues with our 1962 Pepsi Machine rather quickly. He was helpful in providing links for replacement parts.
