Just turn your head 😂

That's way too many "codes" to even be helpful at armchair, internet diagnostics. If it's still at the shop, pay the bill and go somewhere else. I do hope the plan isn't to take "diagnoses" from here and tell the shop what to do ! 😳

Was this a roofing company or was it a guy that works for a roofing company and did this on the side ? For $200, it sounds like it's a guy that did this after work on his own. I'd be shocked if a company did anything for only $200.

Aren't those machines like that owned by someone else and they just pay stores rent for the space ? If the key doesn't work, how do you resolve it ? At least when an employee makes them and they start seeing failures, they know (you hope) to get the machine re-calibrated or have new cutters...

Wow ! This sounds like easy, guaranteed money ! I'm shocked no one has thought of it before.

"info @ companyname.com" mailboxes are for completing a website by having a "Contact us" page. Don't waste your time using those address or contact forms. Pick up the phone and try and get a "technical" department and speak to a human being.

Hah, maybe it was this site. I guess if you do a domain-restricted search, there's no paid-for links or sponsored links where they make their real money, hence why they restrict it ?

Nope, hence why the business doesn't already exist. If there's enough demand and a market for something, someone will do it. This isn't a revolutionary idea 😂

I've seen forums or websites that integrated Google search into their own site. Is that feasible or an option ?

Walmart (the one local to me) doesn't have any on the shelves but can have it shipped. O'Reilly near me has a couple choices in stock at the store by me. I'd bet places like Tractor Supply, Rural King, etc (farm-centric) will have it too.

What does the manual say about oil ? I'd guess any API oil, synthetic, 5W-50 is just fine. Like shortyb said, "generic" bottles sold to countless packagers. Since the oil supplier is buying empty bottles, that suggests they're fairly low volume. Many oil suppliers make their own bottles on-site.

I still laugh about this one.... I recently bought a Mazda 6 from a Honda dealer. Across the street is a Mazda dealer, but for the used-car-prep they did, the parts they bought were from O'Reilly. Not gonna give a penny to the competition ! 😂

Could be (probably). They told me they had the option of "new" at $1350 (all in, taxes, shop supplies, etc) or $1000 for an aftermarket compressor, taxes, shop supplies, etc and I questioned that 'cause I didn't think a dealer working on their own brand liked to use aftermarket parts. I told...

Hmmm, the compressor in our '12 Civic went out a few weeks ago. Our daughter drives it and lives out of town, so I told her to ask around for reputable shops and I researched ones as best I could too. Her husband ends up taking it to a Honda dealer 😳 Cost to replace the compressor and refill the...

In most cases, this is the most likely outcome - that the person that rec'd it will bring it. I do wonder what would happen if you dropped it in a Fedex dropbox (you'd probably have a really hard time getting a Fedex store or driver to accept it and scan it). When it goes through their system...
