I am making a company that repairs old vending machines, and I need a name
for it.
So far, I have:

Mend-A-Vend
UVendem - Wemendem

I am looking for all types of names; serious and funny.
Anyone have ideas?

A local company is

Vend-O-Matic

A quick look in the V section of the local phone book provides:

Vend One
Vend Plus
Vend Source
Vending Services
Vendall
Vending Equipment
Vendmark
Vendor's Supply
Vendrite
Vendstar
Vendtronics

You could always go for something that doesn't indicate clearly WHAT industry
it is, like a random three or four-letter acronym, or a name like "Technical

I don't know how you prefer to model, but if you have a definite
location, even on a free-lanced railroad, you might add that into the
title of the company.

North Carolina Vending Repair

Southeast Machine Servicers

Uptown Vending Services

or go with a big name for a little company (like the shortline railroads
did):

National Vending Repair
Universal Vending Services

Or maybe something catchy:
ReadyRite Repair
Southern Softdrink Services


or you might go with a real Vending Company, like the nearly nationwide
company: Canteen (http://www.canteen.com/home.htm). My wife worked for
them at one point before we were married and that name stuck in my brain.

An excellent animated TV series by Matt Groening (creator of The Simpsons).

There is (or was, it's been 15 yrs since I was there) an actual
company near Pittsburgh called ReVenCo. They did exactly what you are
talking about and also sold new machines. IIRC, you drove under a
railroad bridge to get to the shop.

Thanks for that. I just hope the Duff buff isn't working IN the buff.
