Taylor Certified
Pre-Owned
Equipment
Used Taylor ice cream machines, soft serve machines, and frozen beverage equipment — torn down, rebuilt with genuine Taylor parts, and backed by a real 365-day warranty. Prices from $8,500. Serving all of Upstate NY since 1981.
Why Certified Pre-Owned Beats
the Open Market
Shopping for a used soft serve machine online seems straightforward — until you actually receive it. The commercial equipment resale market is full of machines sold "as-is" by sellers with no idea what they're selling, no ability to service what they sell, and no obligation after the transaction closes.
Factory Authorization Matters
Only an authorized Taylor distributor can sell equipment that has been properly certified. Taylor Upstate is the only authorized Taylor distributor and service center in Upstate New York — which means we are the only source in the region for genuine Taylor Certified Pre-Owned equipment.
Deferred Maintenance Is Invisible
Auction sites, liquidators, and general resellers move machines that may have years of deferred maintenance, missing parts, worn components, and refrigerant issues. These problems are invisible in photos and impossible to diagnose without factory training and diagnostic equipment.
OEM Parts — Not Aftermarket
Every Taylor Certified Pre-Owned machine is reconditioned exclusively with genuine Taylor OEM parts — the same parts used in warranty repairs on brand new equipment. We do not patch problems with aftermarket parts. We fix them properly or we do not sell the machine.
The Hidden Cost of Cheap Equipment
One failed health inspection or a breakdown on your busiest summer weekend will cost far more than you saved. A used Taylor ice cream machine for sale on marketplace or eBay has no warranty, no technician to call, and no accountability after the sale closes. Taylor Certified Pre-Owned does.
A significant portion of the used Taylor equipment circulating through liquidation warehouses, Facebook Marketplace, and general resellers consists of obsolete models that Taylor no longer manufactures parts for — including the Taylor 336, 339, 751, 754, and 8754. Sellers of these machines may offer a "warranty" or tell you to "just call Taylor for service" — but if a major component fails, the parts simply do not exist. No authorized Taylor dealer or service center can fix what cannot be sourced. A warranty on an obsolete machine is worthless the moment a key part goes. Taylor Upstate's Certified Pre-Owned program covers only current-generation equipment for which genuine OEM parts are fully available, stocked, and supported by Taylor's factory service network.

What Sets Taylor Certified Pre-Owned Apart
Buying through an authorized source versus the open market is not a minor distinction — it determines whether the machine you receive is actually serviceable, warranted, and safe to operate. Taylor Upstate is the only authorized Taylor distributor and service center in Upstate New York, which means we are the only company in the region with access to factory technical training, genuine OEM parts, factory diagnostic tools, and direct Taylor technical support. A non-authorized seller has none of these resources, regardless of what their listing claims.
Every machine we sell as certified pre-owned has been inspected by our factory-trained technicians, repaired with genuine Taylor parts, tested to confirm proper operation and NY health code temperature compliance, and covered by a warranty backed by our own service organization. If something goes wrong in the first year, we dispatch a technician from our Troy or Marcellus office — the same technicians who handle warranty work on brand new equipment — and we fix it at no charge.
Watch Out for Obsolete Models You Can't Get Parts For
If a price seems too good to be true, check the model number. A significant portion of used Taylor equipment on the open market — including machines sold by liquidation warehouses — are obsolete models that Taylor no longer manufactures parts for: the 336, 339, 751, 754, and 8754. No authorized service organization can perform major repairs on these machines because the parts simply don't exist. Any "warranty" offered on an obsolete model is effectively worthless the moment a key component fails. Our certified pre-owned program covers only current-generation equipment with fully stocked OEM parts available at TaylorUpstateStore.com.
Used Soft Serve Machine — Authorized vs. Non-Authorized
Taylor Certified Pre-Owned is a formally defined category — not a marketing term. It requires factory authorization, factory-trained technicians, genuine OEM parts, and a real service organization to back the warranty. Taylor Upstate holds all of these. This is also why we are one of the few sources in the Northeast where buying a used soft serve ice cream machine comes with the same level of post-sale support as buying a new one.
