This document describes a system and method for activating a service machine. The system and method enables a previous customer of goods or services to provide evidence of a previous purchase and be granted access to use the service machine based on the previous purchase. A network based system is described where verification may be performed remotely. Stand-alone mechanisms are also presented where verification can be performed through more direct interactions with the service machine.

An inflation machine configured to inflate an item. The inflation machine includes: (i) an air pump; (ii) a first air dispenser having a first hose and a first air chuck, where the first air dispenser is an analog dispenser and is in communication with the air pump; (iii) a second air dispenser having a second hose and a second air chuck, where the second air dispenser is a digital dispenser and is in communication with the air pump; and (iv) a controller configured to activate the first air dispenser or the second air dispenser in response to a user input.

The present disclosure provides tire repair assemblies that can include: a tire sealant tank; an air assembly coupled to the tire sealant tank; a valve configured to control fluid communication between the tank and the air assembly; and a currency operating assembly configured to control the valve. Methods for repairing tires are also provided with the methods including providing tire sealant to a tire from a tire repair assembly upon depositing currency in the tire repair assembly. A stand alone currency operated tire repair assemblies are also provided with the assemblies including: a tire sealant tank; an air compressor operatively coupled to the tank; a valve operatively aligned between the tank and the air compressor; a flow meter operatively aligned between the tank and the air compressor; and computer processing circuitry operatively coupled to the air compressor, the valve, and the flow meter.
