Crathco in Richmond
Crathco commercial service.
Richmond's food economy is bigger and more varied than outsiders expect. The 23rd Street corridor runs taquerias and juice spots pouring agua fresca from Crathco D series bowls all day, Point Richmond's small downtown has cafes serving the ferry and refinery workforce, and the industrial sites along the shoreline keep break room dispensers running across shifts.
We treat Richmond as a full service area, not an occasional stop. The machines here work hard, agua fresca programs are dense product at real volume, and the failures are the honest mechanical kind: drives, seals, pumps, and condensers full of whatever the neighborhood air carries.
Diagnostic is $75, waived when the repair is approved. Written quote before work, one year warranty after, 7 days a week.
Common repairs we do
What we close on the truck.
- Agitator drives worn out by horchata and agua fresca duty. Dense rice and fruit drinks load the magnetic drive far harder than clear juice. Bushings glaze, magnets weaken, paddles stall mid afternoon. We install the full drive kit, not just the loudest part, and load test with the product the shop actually sells.
- Corrosion on machines near the shoreline. Salt air off the bay works on condenser fins, fan shrouds, and electrical spades, especially in Point Richmond and Marina Bay locations. We clean and treat the coil, replace corroded terminals before they fail intermittently, and seal what can be sealed.
- Compressor start failures on shared kitchen circuits. Corridor restaurants run many machines on old panels, and voltage sag at start kills relays and capacitors. The dispenser clicks and hums without cooling. We replace the start components, verify winding health, and report the circuit numbers if the panel is the real story.

FAQ
Crathco in Richmond questions, answered.
-
What is the drive time from San Ramon to Richmond?
About 40 minutes via 680 and Highway 24 through the Caldecott, then up the East Bay. We route Richmond with Berkeley and Oakland stops, so it lands on a loop we run regularly. We schedule 7 days. -
Do you charge extra for Richmond addresses?
No zone surcharges. The $75 diagnostic and the written quote are the same across every city we serve, and the diagnostic is waived when you approve the repair. -
Our taqueria runs three bowl machines. Can you check all of them in one visit?
Yes, and it is the efficient way to do it. One diagnostic visit covers the address, the quote itemizes each machine separately, and you approve whichever repairs make sense now. Shared wear parts across D series units keep the total down.
