How do you get to Union City from San Ramon, and how long does it take?

We run south on 680 through Fremont, then cut over toward 880 and the Alvarado-Niles area, and we can come up from the Newark side when that road is faster. It is usually around forty to fifty minutes. We watch the Fremont stretch of 680 and give you a real arrival window before we leave.

Can you handle larger Continental refrigeration in a commissary or catering kitchen?

Yes. We service the bigger Continental reach-in banks, prep tables, and worktops in the commissary and catering kitchens off Alvarado-Niles, Dyer, and Whipple. We work with your crew on access and timing so we can get to the units without shutting the whole kitchen down.

Are you certified or authorized on Continental?

We are not factory-authorized on Continental, and we will not say we are. We are an independent shop, EPA 608 certified, CSLB #1136642. The one brand we are factory trained and certified on is Manitowoc, and only for ice machines. Diagnostic is $75 and waived with the repair, and you get a written quote first.

Continental in Union City

Continental refrigeration in Union City.

We repair Continental commercial refrigeration across Union City. The chain restaurants around Union Landing run Continental prep tables and worktops on tight ticket times, the family kitchens and taquerias along Decoto Road keep undercounters and reach-ins going open to close, and the commissary and catering kitchens off the Alvarado-Niles and Dyer corridors push larger banks of Continental reach-ins all day.

Union City sits inland, so the summer afternoons get hot, and that heat load is the thing that stresses a Continental condensing unit here more than anything else. A coil and fan that coast through a mild day will struggle when the kitchen and the outside air both climb. We size the fix to that reality and check the whole refrigeration circuit, not just the part that failed.

Andrew Kuznetsov runs the shop from San Ramon and comes down 680 to serve Union City. We are independent, EPA 608 certified, and hold CSLB #1136642. The $75 diagnostic is waived when you approve the repair, and we put the quote in writing before any work starts.

Common repairs we do

What we close on the truck.

Condenser fan motor seizing under summer heat load. On a hot Union City afternoon a Continental reach-in or undercounter sitting under a hot cook line has no margin if the condenser fan slows or stops. The motor bearings dry out, the fan drags, head pressure spikes, and the box loses temperature right when the kitchen is busiest. We replace the condenser fan motor and blade, clean the coil, and verify the unit holds under full ambient heat.
Frozen condensate drain and failed pan heater on prep tables. Continental prep tables route condensate to a pan under the cabinet, and when the drain line ices or the pan heater burns out, water backs up and ends up on the kitchen floor. It is a common call from the Union Landing kitchens where the units run nonstop. We clear and reroute the drain, replace the heater if it is open, and confirm the pan empties the way it should.
Cold control and electronic controller drift on reach-ins. When a Continental reach-in short-cycles or holds the box too warm, the cause is often a cold control that has drifted or an electronic controller reading a bad sensor. We test the control against an accurate probe, check the sensor placement, and replace the control or thermostat so the cabinet cycles at the temperature the kitchen actually needs.
