You're based in San Ramon. Does San Mateo get slower service because of that?

No, our technician is based on the Peninsula, in San Mateo County, so San Mateo is his home area rather than a long trip. Call and we'll tell you honestly what the schedule looks like that day.

Someone already quoted us a compressor replacement. Is a second opinion worth $99?

Almost always. A fouled undercounter condenser or a drifted controller sensor can look like a failing compressor until someone actually tests the system, and that $99 diagnostic is waived if we end up doing the repair.

Do you stock parts for both older and newer Traulsen models?

I carry common gaskets, hinge cartridges, and fan motors that fit across most reach-in generations, and I order controller boards or sensors specific to newer digital models once the written quote is approved.

Traulsen in San Mateo

Traulsen commercial service.

San Mateo's downtown restaurant scene along B Street and the stretch of El Camino Real running through it keeps a lot of Traulsen reach-ins working service after service, and Hillsdale Shopping Center adds its own mix of sit-down and quick-service kitchens on top of that. Corporate office cafeterias scattered through town round out the picture.

San Mateo falls under our Peninsula-based technician's home territory now, in San Mateo County, rather than depending on a drive from San Ramon.

Diagnostic is $99, waived when you approve the repair. You get a written quote before any work starts, and I'm EPA 608 Universal certified for refrigerant handling on any sealed-system repair.

Common repairs we do

What we close on the truck.

Evaporator fan failure that hides behind a normal-looking display. The sensor reading temperature sits close to the coil, so a slowing or dead evaporator fan can leave the display looking fine while the rest of the cabinet warms up. On a B Street restaurant line, that usually gets caught when someone pulls soft product off the door shelf mid-service. I replace the motor and blade and check airflow reaches every shelf before calling it done.
Undercounter condensers fouled from sitting under the cook line. Downtown San Mateo kitchens are tight, and undercounter Traulsens often end up wedged right below a flat-top or fryer. Heat and grease both work against the condenser there, and a fouled coil raises running pressures until the compressor starts working overtime or trips out. Cleaning the coil and checking clearance around it usually buys the unit years back.
Controller sensor drift throwing fault codes on newer units. The digital controller on current Traulsen models is only as accurate as its sensors, and a drifted probe can throw a high-temp alarm on a box that's actually holding fine, or mask a real problem behind a false reading. I check each sensor against a calibrated reference and replace the ones that have drifted instead of assuming the board is bad.
