How close is Pleasant Hill to your San Ramon base?

About 25 minutes straight up I-680. We route Pleasant Hill with Walnut Creek, Lafayette, Orinda, and Concord, which is our busiest corridor, so same-day service in Pleasant Hill is the norm for anything urgent.

The unit runs but our health inspector logged product above 41. Can you get us documented before the recheck?

Yes. The diagnostic includes verified temperature readings and a written finding of what failed and what was repaired. Operators use that paperwork at rechecks regularly. If the fix needs a part on order, the quote will say so with dates, which inspectors generally respect.

Do you service Traulsen equipment on a maintenance basis, not just breakdowns?

We do, and for kitchens running multiple cabinets it is worth it. Coil cleaning, gasket and hinge inspection, drain flush, and a controller check twice a year prevents most of the emergency calls on this brand. We quote maintenance in writing like any other work.

Traulsen in Pleasant Hill

Traulsen commercial service.

Pleasant Hill's kitchens cluster along Contra Costa Boulevard and the downtown district, a mix of full-service restaurants, franchise kitchens, and cafes that run their reach-ins from morning prep to close. The culinary program traffic around Diablo Valley College keeps a steady population of commercial equipment in the area too. Traulsen units here are mostly self-contained G-Series boxes, worked hard in kitchens with limited back-of-house space.

Our Traulsen service in Pleasant Hill runs through Bay Area Refrigeration Service. Self-contained units concentrate every failure mode in one cabinet, so a proper visit means gauges, a meter, and the controller's fault history, not a glance and a guess. When I find a remote unit, usually in the larger commercial buildings, I trace the circuit from the cabinet contactor to the condensing unit before condemning any component.

Diagnostic runs $75 and is waived with an approved repair. Written quote before work, one year warranty on repairs, available seven days because product does not wait.

Common repairs we do

What we close on the truck.

Defrost heater burnout leading to slow evaporator ice-up. When the defrost heater fails on a Traulsen reach-in, nothing dramatic happens at first. The coil ices over across a week or two, airflow drops, and one day the box cannot hold 38 during lunch. We replace the heater, test the termination thermostat, and thaw and inspect the coil so you are not back to iced-up in a month.
Condenser fan motor failure on self-contained cabinets. The condenser fan lives in the hottest, dirtiest spot on the unit. When it slows or seizes, head pressure spikes and the compressor cuts out on overload, so the symptom looks like a compressor problem. We check the fan and its motor first, because it is the cheaper failure and the more common one.
Worn door hardware from high-turnover kitchen staffing. Busy franchise and restaurant kitchens along Contra Costa Boulevard are hard on doors. Slammed doors wear the hinge cartridges, gaskets tear at the handle corner, and warm air infiltration keeps the unit running flat out. We replace the hardware and gaskets as a set, which is how the seal actually gets restored.
