True in San Mateo
True commercial service.
San Mateo's downtown restaurant scene along B Street and Third Avenue is dense and diverse, Peruvian, Japanese, and Mexican kitchens sitting a few doors apart, and most of them run True reach-ins and sandwich prep tables through long dinner services in small kitchen footprints. Out at Hillsdale Shopping Center, the food court and grocery counters lean on True glass-door merchandisers for steady retail traffic. Bay Meadows adds newer restaurants with tighter, more efficient kitchens where a single down cooler backs up the whole line.
Our commercial refrigeration division, Bay Area Refrigeration Service, is part of ADRIUM Service Solutions. I am Andrew Kuznetsov, the owner, EPA Section 608 Universal certified, and we operate under CSLB #1136642. San Mateo now gets a Peninsula-based technician rather than a drive from San Ramon, and the diagnostic visit is $99, waived when you approve the written quote. We run calls 7 days a week.
Common repairs we do
What we close on the truck.
- Reach-in condenser fans failing under long dinner services. Downtown kitchens on B Street run dinner service late, and a True reach-in condenser fan that has been running that many hours a day eventually wears out its bearings. The cabinet holds temperature fine early in the shift and drifts warm by close, right when the kitchen can least afford it. I replace the motor and blade and clean the coil in the same visit.
- Sandwich prep table thermostats drifting during lunch rush. TSSU prep tables at the busy lunch spots along Third Avenue take a beating during the midday rush, doors opening constantly while cold-holding food on the rail. A drifted thermostat lets the rail creep above safe holding temperature without an obvious symptom until a health inspection catches it. I verify against a calibrated thermometer and replace the control if it is off.
- Undercounter coffee shop units icing from a stuck defrost cycle. Undercounter coolers under espresso bars downtown ice over when the defrost timer stops advancing, and milk that should be cold starts running warm as the coil chokes with frost. I clear the ice completely, test the heater and drain, and put in a new timer so the cycle actually runs on schedule.

FAQ
True in San Mateo questions, answered.
-
How does response work now that you have a Peninsula technician?
We keep a technician based in San Mateo County now, so a San Mateo call is local for that technician instead of a drive from San Ramon. That is the honest coverage picture. We are not promising same-day, but we are genuinely local here now. -
Can you work around a restaurant's open hours downtown?
Yes. Tell us your slow window when you call and we will plan around it where the schedule allows. Downtown parking is tight, so let us know if there are loading restrictions near your kitchen too. -
Are you authorized by True, or an independent shop?
We are independent, not a True-authorized dealer. We repair True equipment regularly and give you a written quote before any work starts, so you know exactly what you are approving.
