How far is Union City from your San Ramon base, and which way do you drive?

From San Ramon we take I-680 south and drop onto Highway 84 or I-880 to reach Union City, usually around 30 minutes off-peak. Fremont, Hayward, and Newark sit right around it, so we group Union City jobs with those neighboring cities and give you a firm arrival window instead of an all-day wait.

Will you give me a price before starting the repair?

Yes. We run the $75 diagnostic first, then hand you a written quote before we order parts or open the sealed system. If you approve the repair, we waive the $75. We do not put a price on the work until we have seen the unit.

Do you carry Summit certification?

No. We are an independent refrigeration company, EPA 608 certified and licensed under CSLB #1136642. We repair Summit units throughout Union City, but we make no claim of Summit factory authorization or certification.

Summit in Union City

Summit refrigeration in Union City.

We are Bay Area Refrigeration Service, an independent shop based in San Ramon and run by Andrew Kuznetsov, and we service Summit units across Union City. Union City packs a lot of food service into a small area. The Union Landing center off Alvarado-Niles pulls in quick-serve restaurants and juice and coffee spots that run Summit beverage centers and undercounter fridges, and the older Decoto and Alvarado business rows have delis and markets using Summit for back-bar and prep-line cold storage.

We are EPA 608 certified and hold CSLB #1136642. We are not factory-authorized for Summit and we do not pretend otherwise. Our diagnostic is $75 and it is waived when you go ahead with the repair, and we hand you a written quote before we touch a sealed system or order a compressor.

Union City runs warmer and drier than the coast, and the flatland light-industrial pockets off the Nimitz get real afternoon heat. Summit units sitting near a cook line or in a warehouse office push their condensers hard here, so a dirty coil or a failing condenser fan is often the first thing we find.

Common repairs we do

What we close on the truck.

Summit undercounter compressor not starting at Union Landing. On Summit FF-series undercounter fridges, a failed start relay or overload leaves the compressor humming and tripping. The busy Union Landing kitchens run these next to hot equipment, so the relay heat-soaks and quits. We test the relay, the overload, and the windings, and we verify the compressor is good before quoting a sealed-system repair.
Summit beverage center icing over the evaporator. Summit SCR beverage centers in Union City coffee and boba shops ice up when the defrost thermostat or the evaporator fan fails and airflow stops. We clear the frost, test the defrost circuit and the fan motor, and check that the door is not being left cracked during a rush, which is a common cause here.
Summit outdoor fridge losing cold in the Decoto heat. On Summit outdoor-rated units at patios and light-industrial break areas, a clogged condenser and a weak condenser fan motor let head pressure climb in Union City's afternoon sun, so the box runs warm. We clean the condenser, test the fan and relay, and confirm the door gasket seals against the heat.
