How fast can you get to Albany?

It is about 40 to 45 minutes from San Ramon, so 94706 calls usually get same-day or next-day service. We run Albany together with Berkeley and Richmond on our Inner East Bay days, and after-hours visits are available, since a broken machine during a Solano Avenue dinner rush cannot wait for Monday.

Do you carry Crathco parts or have to order them?

The truck carries the wear parts that fail most: drive couplings, bowl gaskets, seal kits, and agitator hardware. Anything on the refrigeration side or a specific motor gets ordered, and we tell you how long that takes in the written quote.

What does a repair typically cost?

Diagnostic is $75, waived when you approve the repair. Nothing starts until you have seen the written quote. A coupling or gasket job runs cheaper than refrigeration work, and the quote tells you which one you are looking at.

Crathco in Albany

Crathco commercial service.

We service Crathco cold and frozen drink dispensers for the cafes and counter spots along Solano Avenue and where San Pablo Avenue crosses through Albany. If the bowl stopped freezing or the drive coupling quit during a busy Solano weekend, we know these machines and carry the parts that fail most.

Getting from San Ramon to Albany takes us about 40 to 45 minutes, and it is one stop on the same route we run for Berkeley and Richmond, not a special trip. 94706 is the zip we cover here. Any refrigerant or gas work goes through CSLB license #1136642. The $75 diagnostic comes off the total once you approve the repair, and you see the written quote first.

Common repairs we do

What we close on the truck.

Magnetic drive coupling. Worn or slipping couplings stop the agitator turning, so the bowl will not freeze evenly, and it is common on the smaller-footprint machines squeezed into Solano Avenue counter spots. We replace the coupling and check alignment.
Evaporator and refrigeration faults. A bowl that runs slushy instead of frozen, or lines showing frost where they should not, points to the refrigeration side rather than the dispensing hardware. We diagnose the sealed system and take care of refrigerant work under our CSLB license.
Bowl gaskets and seals. Leaking gaskets and worn seals drip product and let air in, and Albany's tight storefronts do not leave much room to air out a leak before it stains the counter below. We put in fresh bowl gaskets and a full seal kit to stop the drip and get it pouring clean again.
Agitator and auger motor. When the auger motor stalls or starts grinding, product comes out soft instead of set. We test the motor and the drive coupling together and replace the motor when the fault traces back to it.
