How long does it take you to get to Los Gatos from San Ramon?

About 55 minutes down 680 and 85 off-peak. Los Gatos rides with Saratoga and Los Altos Hills calls on South Bay runs, and for a unit down before dinner service we will run it direct and tell you an honest arrival window when you call.

Can you work mornings so we are whole before dinner service?

That is our preference for Los Gatos. A morning start gives time for diagnosis, the written quote, the repair, and a verified pull-down before your line starts prep.

The unit was serviced recently by someone else and failed again. Will you look at it?

Yes, and we start from measurements, not the last invoice. Repeat failures usually mean the cause was never found, most often airflow or drainage behind a replaced part. Our repair carries its own one year warranty.

Continental Refrigerator in Los Gatos

Continental Refrigerator commercial service.

Los Gatos dining is dense and high-end: the restaurant row along North Santa Cruz Avenue and Main Street runs some of the busiest kitchens in the South Bay out of older downtown buildings. Continental reach-ins and prep tables hold the line in those kitchens, and we service them through Bay Area Refrigeration Service, our commercial refrigeration division.

Historic buildings plus ambitious menus create a specific stress. Kitchens are tight, hoods compete with condensers for air, and summer heat pools in back-of-house spaces that were never designed for this equipment density. When a unit here trips out during a full dining room, I start with airflow and electrical measurements, because in Los Gatos those explain far more failures than compressors do. Amp draw and superheat come before any condemnation.

The $75 diagnostic is waived with repair. Quotes in writing, one year repair warranty, seven days a week.

Common repairs we do

What we close on the truck.

Overload trips in heat-soaked back-of-house spaces. Old downtown buildings trap kitchen heat, and a Continental reach-in in a 95 degree corridor cannot reject heat no matter how clean the coil is. We verify with head pressure readings, replace stressed start components, and give the owner real numbers on the ventilation problem so it gets fixed instead of argued about.
Grease-loaded condensers on fine-dining prep tables. Saute-heavy lines aerosolize butter and oil straight into nearby coils. The rail loses a few degrees at the peak of service, which in a high-end kitchen means remade mise en place and angry chefs. We degrease the coil, verify superheat and rail temps loaded, and schedule cleanings around the restaurant's dark days.
Drain line freezes flooding cabinets between services. The flood shows up during afternoon prep, when there is no time for it. We thaw and clear the drain, correct pitch, test defrost termination, and replace door gaskets when worn seals are feeding the evaporator the moisture that built the ice.
