Do you cover East Palo Alto or is it out of range?

We cover it. Our technician works out of San Mateo County, so East Palo Alto is on the regular Peninsula route, not a special trip.

Can you work with a shop that has not had regular service?

Yes, that's common here. We start with the $99 diagnostic, tell you honestly what shape the machine is in, and write up a quote before doing anything.

What does the visit cost if nothing is fixed?

The diagnostic is $99. If you book the repair, that fee is credited toward the repair, so you are only paying for the actual work.

Rancilio in East Palo Alto

Rancilio commercial service.

East Palo Alto runs differently than its neighbor across the freeway. This is a working city, dense with rental housing, and the food service here is mostly small counters and family kitchens rather than a cafe row built for browsing. A Classe 7 or Classe 9 in one of these shops earns its keep on tight margins, so downtime costs more here than the machine's dollar value suggests.

These machines get steady daily use and not always the water treatment or maintenance schedule a bigger operation would run. I've found boilers here with more scale buildup than the machine's age would suggest, and gaskets that were overdue for replacement a while back.

East Palo Alto sits along our Peninsula route between Palo Alto and Menlo Park, and we treat these small shops with the same priority as a bigger downtown account.

Common repairs we do

What we close on the truck.

Overdue descaling and gicleur clearing. Without a regular maintenance schedule, scale builds up past the point most shops would let it go. We descale the boiler and clear the gicleur jets, and we flag filtration if the machine has never had it.
Group gasket replacement. A gasket that should have been swapped a while back leaks at the portafilter and slows the shot. We replace the gasket and screen and check the group seats clean.
Steam solenoid and heating element. Daily counter service wears the steam solenoid and pushes the heating element to work harder than it should. We test both and replace whichever is dragging down recovery time.
