How far is Los Gatos from your San Ramon base?

About 55 minutes down 680 through San Jose and onto 85 or 17. We pair Los Gatos with Saratoga and Los Altos Hills on our South Bay days, so booked windows are solid, and a fully down machine gets priority routing. We answer 7 days.

Our machine is critical from June to September. Can you set us up before the season?

Yes, and it is the smartest money you will spend on the machine. A spring service covers seals, drive inspection, condenser cleaning, and density calibration, so the machine enters its hardest months with no known weak points. We put the findings and any recommendations in writing.

Do you handle both the mechanical and refrigeration sides?

One technician, both systems. I am EPA Section 608 Universal certified for the sealed system and I do the drive and control work myself, so a diagnosis never gets stuck between two specialists blaming each other's half.

Elmeco in Los Gatos

Elmeco commercial service.

North Santa Cruz Avenue in Los Gatos supports a dense stretch of restaurants, ice cream shops, and cafes, and summer foot traffic keeps their frozen programs busy from lunch through late evening. The Elmeco machines here run granita, frozen sangria bases, and cold brew slush, and they run them for months without a break.

Los Gatos also gets genuinely hot in summer, hotter than the bayside towns, and heat is the enemy of every part in a granita machine. The condenser works harder, the compressor runs longer, and the product firms up slower, which means the spiral pushes stiff slush for more minutes of every hour. All of that lands eventually on the gearmotor, which is the part I replace most on Elmeco equipment.

We come down from San Ramon, EPA 608 Universal certified, CSLB #1136642, with written quotes and the $75 diagnostic waived on approved repairs.

Common repairs we do

What we close on the truck.

Worm gear wear accelerated by hot-weather duty. Long compressor runtimes in Los Gatos summers mean the spiral spends more time pushing near-frozen product, and the worm gear pays for it. We check gear condition by feel and sound during any visit, and when replacement is due we schedule it for your slowest morning rather than waiting for the failure to pick the date.
Condenser overwhelmed on 95-degree afternoons. A coil that is even moderately dusty will keep up in May and fall over in July here. The tell is granita that holds texture in the morning and softens by mid-afternoon. We clean the condenser, confirm the fan is moving rated air, and measure the temperature split so you have numbers, not guesses.
Rear seal leak found as syrup under the machine. Sticky pooling under or behind the unit almost always traces to the rear shaft seal. In a busy dessert shop it also attracts ants, which Los Gatos has no shortage of in summer. We replace the seal, degrease the drive housing, and check whether any syrup reached the gearbox before it could do damage.
