Crathco in Castro Valley
Crathco commercial service.
Castro Valley's food scene runs on small family operations along the Boulevard, and small operations feel equipment downtime hardest. A deli with one Crathco D25 pouring horchata or a boba shop running a Mini-Pro slush unit has no backup machine. When it stops, that menu line stops.
We handle the whole Crathco family here: D line bowls, FROZEN and Mini-Pro granita machines, bubblers, and spray models. We confirm timing after the on-site diagnosis.
Diagnostic is $99, credited toward the repair. Written quote first, warranty from 3 months to 1 year depending on the repair, 7 days a week.

Common repairs we handle.
- Slush too wet on Mini-Pro units. Boba and snack shops call saying the machine runs but pours liquid instead of slush. Usually the consistency control is off, the torque limiter is slipping, or the brix is wrong for the product. We test the refrigeration side first so you do not pay for a compressor when the fix is a limiter and a settings walkthrough.
- Impeller bushing wear in horchata service. Rice based drinks are dense and abrasive, and they eat D series impeller bushings faster than juice ever does. The paddle wobbles, then stalls. We replace the bushing and magnet set and show staff the rinse routine that stretches the next set's life.
- Condenser choked by fryer grease. In deli kitchens the dispenser often sits near the fry line, and the condenser fins mat over with grease and dust. The unit runs constantly and still cannot hold temp on hot days. We degrease the coil, confirm fan motor draw, and check that the pulldown time comes back to spec.

FAQ
Crathco in Castro Valley questions, answered.
-
How long does it take you to reach Castro Valley from San Ramon?
About 25 minutes over Crow Canyon Road, which is one of the more direct runs we have. Castro Valley slots in with Hayward, San Leandro, and Dublin stops, so we can often fit an urgent call in the same day or the next. We run 7 days. -
My machine is older, can you still fix it?
Almost always. Crathco kept the D line design stable for years, and Grindmaster and Welbilt still supply parts. Seals, magnets, pumps, fan motors, and controls are all available. I will tell you in the written quote if a unit genuinely is not worth the money. -
What does a repair cost?
Depends on the failure, so we do not guess over the phone. The $99 diagnostic gets you a firm written number, and it is credited toward the repair. No approved quote, no work.
