How long does it take you to reach Woodside from San Ramon?

50 to 60 minutes, down 680 south and over on 92 or 280. We schedule Woodside on the same Peninsula day as Hillsborough and give you a written arrival window, since gate codes and long driveways make a loose window impractical.

The machine was left behind by a caterer, can you still service it?

Yes. Ownership paperwork is not required for service. I diagnose it, give you a written quote, and if the caterer is covering the cost, I am glad to send the quote straight to them.

Do you install new machines as well as repair the old ones?

We do, and install carries our longest coverage, 10-year parts and 10-year labor. If you are outfitting a pool house bar, I will also give you a straight answer on whether an Elmeco unit is the right size for how often you will actually use it.

Elmeco in Woodside

Elmeco commercial service.

Woodside's only commercial cluster sits around Buck's, so an Elmeco machine anywhere else in town is almost always residential: a granita unit in a pool house, a frozen cocktail setup in a home bar, or a machine a caterer brings in for a summer party on one of the larger estates. These are commercial-grade machines in a residential setting, and they need someone who actually understands commercial failure modes.

The duty cycle out here is backwards from a cafe. A machine can sit dry for months at a time between gatherings, seals harden, and refrigerant seeps slowly through fittings that never get worked, then the same machine is expected to perform flawlessly the day the party arrives. My standard advice to Woodside owners is to run the machine for an afternoon a couple weeks ahead of any event and call me if anything sounds or looks wrong.

We drive out from San Ramon, quote everything in writing before work begins, waive the $75 diagnostic when you approve the repair, and warranty repairs for a year. CSLB #1136642, EPA 608 Universal certified.

Common repairs we do

What we close on the truck.

Seals leaking on the first fill of the season. Rubber that spent months dry in a pool house does not seal the way it did new. The first batch finds the gap and lands in the drip tray or on the counter. I replace bowl gaskets and shaft seals together, since if one has hardened the rest are close behind.
Refrigerant slowly leaking out of an idle machine. A small leak that daily use would expose quickly can go unnoticed for a year in a home that only runs the machine occasionally. The symptom is granita that never gets past milkshake texture no matter the setting. I leak-check, repair the joint, and recharge to spec under EPA 608 certification, with the work documented.
Gearmotor damaged by a restart against frozen product. Someone shuts the machine off with product still in the bowl after a party, it freezes solid overnight, and the next startup stalls the drive. If the overload protection worked as designed, thawing and inspecting is often enough. If it did not, the gearmotor needs replacing, and I quote that in writing before ordering the part.
