What is your travel time to Los Altos from San Ramon?

Roughly 50 minutes off-peak. We group Los Altos with Mountain View, Palo Alto, Menlo Park, and Los Altos Hills stops on Peninsula runs, so there is usually a scheduled path through. A down prep table with product at risk moves to the front of the route.

Our cafe has no back room. Can you work on the unit in place during hours?

Usually yes. Most Continental repairs, start components, coil cleaning, drain work, happen at the unit without moving it. We bring floor protection and work clean, because we know the customers are watching.

How much does a typical repair run?

Start components and drain repairs usually land in the low hundreds, coil cleanings less, compressors more. You get an exact written quote after the $75 diagnostic, and the diagnostic is waived once you approve the work.

Continental Refrigerator in Los Altos

Continental Refrigerator commercial service.

Downtown Los Altos runs on small, polished kitchens: the cafes and bistros along Main and State streets, bakeries feeding the morning crowd, and delis that live and die by their sandwich prep rail. Continental prep tables and under-counter coolers are the workhorses in these spaces, and we keep them running through Bay Area Refrigeration Service, our commercial refrigeration division.

Small downtown kitchens fail in small-kitchen ways. Equipment sits inches from ovens and espresso machines, condensers breathe warm air all day, and there is no spare cabinet to shift product into when something dies. So we treat Los Altos calls with urgency and measure before we replace: amp draw and superheat first, compressor verdicts only when the numbers demand it.

Diagnostic is $75, waived when you approve the repair. Written quote first, one year warranty, seven day scheduling.

Common repairs we do

What we close on the truck.

Start relay and capacitor failures next to heat-producing equipment. A worktop cooler wedged beside a deck oven runs its start components hot for years until they quit. The unit hums, clicks, and warms up overnight. We replace relay and capacitor, verify amps, and if the layout allows, gain the coil an inch or two of breathing room.
Condenser film from bakery and espresso aerosols. Butter, sugar, and milk-steam residue makes a sticky coil coating that plain vacuuming will not lift. Capacity fades through the morning rush. We wet-degrease the coil, confirm superheat, and set a cleaning interval that fits a bakery's output rather than a generic schedule.
Frozen drains wetting floors in front-of-house sight lines. In a small cafe the prep table sits where customers can see it, and a puddle is a problem beyond the equipment. We thaw and clear the drain line, fix pitch or heater faults, and check lid gaskets so the ice does not rebuild during the next busy week.
