How fast can you get from San Ramon to Alameda?

We come over on 580 through the tube or across the Park Street bridge, about 35 to 40 minutes outside of rush hour. We route Alameda together with Oakland and San Leandro stops, so a same-day slot is usually available when a unit is down with product in it. We work 7 days.

Can you fix a True cooler in a bar with almost no service clearance?

Yes. Most Webster Street bars have back-bar and undercounter units boxed in tight. True builds these to be serviced from the front, and we bring low-profile gauges and a shop vac for the condenser, so we rarely need to pull the unit out of the line.

Is it worth repairing an older True unit or should I replace it?

True cabinets are worth fixing longer than most brands because parts stay available for decades. My rule: if the compressor and cabinet insulation are sound, a fan motor, gasket, or control repair is money well spent. If the compressor is gone on a 15-year unit, I will tell you straight in the written quote.

True in Alameda

True commercial service.

Alameda runs on small kitchens. The restaurant rows on Park Street and Webster Street are packed with delis, ramen shops, and bars, and most of them have a True T-49 or a TUC undercounter doing the cold storage. When one of those units drifts warm on a Friday, product is on the line by Saturday morning. We repair True equipment across the island through our commercial division, Bay Area Refrigeration Service.

Island air matters here. I see more condenser corrosion in Alameda than anywhere inland, especially in the breweries and tasting rooms out at Alameda Point where units sit near open roll-up doors. Salt-laden air eats fin stock and shortens fan motor life, so I check condenser condition on every Alameda call even when the complaint is something else.

ADRIUM Service Solutions is EPA Section 608 Universal certified and licensed under CSLB #1136642. The $75 diagnostic is waived when you approve the repair, and every repair carries a 1-year warranty.

Common repairs we do

What we close on the truck.

Condenser fan motor failure on T-Series reach-ins. The condenser fan motor bearings on a T-23 or T-49 wear out faster near the water. The first sign is a growl at startup, then the motor stalls, head pressure climbs, and the box loses temperature. We carry OEM True fan motor kits on the van, so most Alameda swaps are done in one visit.
Door gaskets gone flat on busy Park Street units. A deli reach-in that gets opened two hundred times a shift chews through gaskets. Once the magnetic seal flattens, warm moist air pours in, the compressor short-cycles, and the coil ices. New True gaskets snap into the dart channel and the compressor duty cycle drops the same day.
Evaporator icing from a stuck defrost timer. When the defrost timer sticks, the evaporator coil turns into a block of ice and airflow stops. The unit runs constantly but the cabinet sits at 50 degrees. We replace the timer, thaw and inspect the coil, and verify the drain line is clear so the meltwater does not refreeze in the pan.
