Four steps from the call to the repair. Single dispatch desk, single tech, single invoice.
Reach us at (619) 330-5105 or via the online booking link. We confirm your refrigerant type (R-404A / R-290 hydrocarbon / R-448A blend), reach-in vs walk-in, current internal temp, and product type (ice cream / frozen protein / batch-frozen) — so the tech rolls with the right recovery cylinder and OEM defrost components.
Tech dispatched from Spring Valley HQ with full EPA 608 recovery setup — R-404A, R-290, R-448A cylinders, electronic leak detector, micron gauge, dry-ice cambro for emergency product transfer if needed. Most San Diego kitchens reached in 30–60 minutes for freezer-down calls.
Flat $80 diagnostic. Frozen-product safety triage — if pull-down after sealed-system work will exceed 4 hours we coach the kitchen on transferring high-value product (ice cream, sashimi-grade fish, frozen protein) to backup freezer per FDA cumulative-time rule. Written, fixed-price quote before refrigerant recovery or compressor work begins.
OEM parts from the truck where stocked, ordered same-day where not. 24-hour temp-stabilization recheck after sealed-system or compressor work — we return with the temp logger and confirm 0°F-or-below hold across a full cycle (written log for your DEH file). 90-day parts & labor warranty.
Most commercial freezer repairs run $220–$1,890 depending on parts and complexity. The flat $80 diagnostic is the same rate everywhere we go — credited to the repair when you authorize the work. Every quote fixed-price, not hourly.
