True in San Carlos
True commercial service.
Laurel Street carries most of San Carlos's restaurant scene, and the kitchens packed into that stretch run True reach-ins, prep tables, and back bar coolers through busy dinner service most nights of the week. A few blocks over, the office and biotech buildings near San Carlos Airport keep True undercounter units in break rooms and lab support areas that get opened constantly during the workday.
We service True equipment on site through Bay Area Refrigeration Service, our commercial refrigeration division. I hold EPA Section 608 Universal certification and we operate under CSLB #1136642, with written quotes on every job and no guessing at cost over the phone. The diagnostic visit is $99, waived when you move forward with the repair, and we work 7 days a week.
San Carlos is inside the coverage area for our Peninsula-based technician, so a warm walk-in prep cooler on Laurel Street is not waiting on a truck from the East Bay.
Common repairs we do
What we close on the truck.
- Grease-loaded condenser coils in Laurel Street kitchens. A True reach-in behind a busy Laurel Street line pulls kitchen grease and flour into the condenser coil, and within a few months the unit runs constantly without holding temperature. I degrease the coil, comb the fins back straight, and check head pressure before I call the job done.
- Prep table lid gaskets losing the cold air dam. Sandwich and pizza prep units take a beating from lids slamming shut during a rush, and once the gasket hardens or tears, cold air spills out at the rail instead of staying on the pans. I replace the gasket and true up the lid alignment so the top of the unit actually holds temperature again.
- Back bar bottle cooler compressor short-cycling. Bar coolers under a Laurel Street back bar get opened every few minutes during service, and a worn door gasket or a weak door closer lets in enough warm air that the compressor short-cycles trying to catch up. New gasket, adjusted closer, and I check the condenser fan while the unit is pulled out.

FAQ
True in San Carlos questions, answered.
-
How fast can someone get to San Carlos if a cooler goes down mid-shift?
We have a technician based on the Peninsula in San Mateo County, and San Carlos is part of the territory he runs, so you are not waiting on a dispatch from San Ramon. Call with the model and the symptom and we will work you into the day. -
Do you service the office and lab buildings near the airport, not just restaurants?
Yes. Break room undercounter units and small lab refrigeration follow the same diagnostic process as a restaurant reach-in. We just adjust access and scheduling around your building's hours. -
What does the written quote actually include?
Parts, labor, and the specific failure I found, in writing before any work beyond diagnosis starts. No verbal estimates that change later.
