What is the travel time from San Ramon to Los Altos?

About 45 minutes via 680 and 237 or 85 depending on traffic. We pair Los Altos with Mountain View, Menlo Park, Palo Alto, and Los Altos Hills on the same routing day, so a day-ahead booking usually gets a firm window.

Can you come before our cafe opens?

Yes. Early-morning visits before open are normal for us on commercial calls, and we work seven days. Tell us your quiet hours and we route around them.

Do you quote before or after opening up the unit?

The $75 diagnostic covers finding the actual fault. Then you get a written quote before any repair starts. If you approve it, the diagnostic fee is waived and the repair carries a 1-year warranty.

Perlick in Los Altos

Perlick commercial service.

Downtown Los Altos runs on small footprints. The cafes and restaurants along Main and State Street fit their refrigeration under counters because there is nowhere else to put it, and Perlick undercounter units are the workhorses of those tight service lines. Outside downtown, the kitchen remodels that sweep through Los Altos neighborhoods install Signature Series refrigeration and beverage centers as a matter of course. Both worlds are served through our division, Bay Area Refrigeration Service.

Small-footprint installs fail in specific ways: blocked airflow, drain paths crowded by cabinetry, and gaskets worn by constant use. I diagnose with a meter and a thermometer, not a parts cannon. The $75 diagnostic is waived with repair, quotes are written, and repairs carry a 1-year warranty.

Common repairs we do

What we close on the truck.

Cafe undercounter unit overheating in a closed service line. Main Street build-outs tuck these units under espresso counters with almost no clearance. The condenser breathes steam and pastry-case heat all day and clogs early. I clean the coil, check the fan, and measure superheat so I know the sealed system came through unharmed.
Residential beverage center reading warm on the display. When a Signature Series display climbs and the compressor never starts, the fault is often the control board or a failed thermistor feeding it bad data. I test the sensor circuit before condemning the board, because the sensor is a tenth of the price.
Door gasket failure causing constant running and frost. High-traffic doors in cafe service go soft at the corners first. The unit runs nonstop, frost creeps over the evaporator, and energy use doubles. New OEM gaskets and a hinge check are a quick, cheap repair that prevents a compressor-scale bill later.
