Crathco in Lafayette
Crathco commercial service.
Lafayette's restaurant life concentrates along Mt. Diablo Boulevard, and the cafes and juice spots there lean on Crathco bowls for agua fresca, cold brew bases, and lemonade programs. Add the frozen units at ice cream and dessert shops near the BART end of downtown and you have a small city with a steady service load.
We also see residential units here. Lafayette remodels increasingly include serious outdoor kitchens in the hills off Happy Valley Road, and a Mini-Pro next to the built in grill is not rare anymore. We service both sides of that market with the same process: $75 diagnostic waived with repair, written quote, one year warranty, 7 days.
Common repairs we do
What we close on the truck.
- Bowl will not pull down to temperature. A D series bowl that stalls in the mid 40s usually has a dirty condenser, a weak fan, or a low charge from a slow leak. We check the cheap causes first, in that order, and only open the sealed system if the numbers prove a leak. That discipline keeps Lafayette invoices honest.
- Torque limiter chatter on frozen dessert units. Dessert shops running thick sorbet mixes hear a rhythmic clacking when the limiter slips against an over frozen barrel. Running it that way rounds off the limiter and stresses the motor. We replace the limiter, recalibrate consistency, and match the setting to the actual mix.
- Valve and drip tray leaks on front counters. On a visible front counter a weeping spigot looks bad fast. Hardened o-rings and a warped drip tray gasket are the usual culprits. We replace the valve seals, true up the tray, and the counter stays dry through service.

FAQ
Crathco in Lafayette questions, answered.
-
How quickly can you get to Lafayette from San Ramon?
About 20 minutes up 680 and through the Walnut Creek interchange. Lafayette routes naturally with Walnut Creek, Alamo, and Orinda stops, so same day response is realistic most days. We are available 7 days a week. -
Can you come before we open?
Yes, early morning slots are our preference for Mt. Diablo Boulevard addresses because parking and counter access are easier. Most seal and drive repairs finish before your first customer. -
Do you handle the refrigeration side or just the mechanical parts?
Both. I am EPA Section 608 Universal certified, so leak repair, evacuation, and recharging the sealed system are done in house, legally, with the charge weighed in. No subcontracting the hard half of the job.
