How fast can you get to Hayward from your San Ramon base?

About 30 minutes over Crow Canyon through Castro Valley. Hayward routes with Castro Valley, San Leandro, and Union City stops, so we are in the corridor most weekdays and same day response for a down unit is realistic.

Can you work around a commissary schedule where the kitchen is full overnight?

Yes. We schedule seven days and can take the slow mid-morning window after trucks load out. Tell us the building's rhythm and we fit it.

The last company said we need a new compressor. Should we get a second opinion?

That is exactly what the $75 diagnostic is for. We measure amp draw, winding resistance, and superheat and show you the numbers. If the compressor really is gone, we quote it in writing. If it is a forty dollar relay, you just saved a lot of money, and the diagnostic fee folds into the repair.

Continental Refrigerator in Hayward

Continental Refrigerator commercial service.

Hayward's food economy is bigger than it looks: the B Street and downtown restaurant core, the taquerias along Mission and Tennyson, and the commissary kitchens where food trucks prep overnight. Continental reach-ins and prep tables do the cold holding in most of them, and we repair that equipment through Bay Area Refrigeration Service, our commercial refrigeration division.

Commissary work has taught us the overnight failure pattern. A reach-in that dies at 9 p.m. is discovered at 4 a.m. by a truck operator loading for the day, with product on the line and no margin. We run seven days and answer early, and on every call we test amp draw and superheat before condemning a compressor, because most of these units are killed on paper long before they are dead in fact.

Diagnostic is $75, waived with repair. You get a written quote first and a one year warranty on the work.

Common repairs we do

What we close on the truck.

Overnight compressor no-starts in commissary reach-ins. Units cycling all night in warm shared kitchens burn through start relays. The morning symptom is a warm cabinet and a clicking compressor. We test the windings, replace relay and capacitor, verify amps, and get the operator loading again, usually in one visit from truck stock.
Grease and dust blankets on condensers in shared kitchens. Commissaries and taqueria lines generate grease from a dozen sources, and the Continental coil catches all of it. Head pressure rises, the unit never cycles off, and summer finishes the job. We degrease the coil, check superheat, and put the next cleaning date on a sticker on the cabinet.
Drain line freezes flooding shared floor space. In a commissary, one flooding cabinet becomes everyone's problem by morning. We thaw and clear the drain, correct pitch, test defrost termination, and swap door gaskets when they are the moisture source, so the ice does not rebuild.
