Do you cover Montara, Moss Beach, and El Granada, or just Half Moon Bay itself?

All of it. We treat the whole Coastside as one run down Highway 1, so a reach-in in Montara or El Granada gets the same response as one on Main Street. Our Peninsula technician is based in San Mateo County, so it's a run down Highway 92, not a special trip from San Ramon.

Does salt air really shorten a Traulsen's life out here?

Yes, and it's the coil and the electrical contacts that go first, not the compressor itself. I inspect both on every Coastside visit, since a unit that looks fine can have fins already pitted underneath.

Are you factory-authorized to work on Traulsen?

Traulsen doesn't authorize us, and we don't claim it does. Manitowoc is the one brand where we hold real factory training, on the ice machines. For the reach-ins and prep tables out here, it's independent diagnosis, in writing, before anything gets ordered.

Traulsen in Half Moon Bay

Traulsen refrigeration in Half Moon Bay.

Half Moon Bay anchors the whole Coastside, and its restaurant scene runs on it. Main Street's kitchens and the harbor restaurants around Pillar Point and Princeton-by-the-Sea lean on Traulsen reach-ins and prep tables through a weekend crowd that can run triple a weekday's business. We cover that same stretch of Highway 1 north to Montara, Moss Beach, and El Granada, since none of those towns has enough commercial refrigeration on its own to justify a separate route.

The ocean air out here ages equipment faster than anywhere else on our map. Salt corrodes electrical contacts and pits condenser fins years before a comparable unit inland would show it. So on top of the usual thermostat drift and gasket wear, I check the condenser coil and the control board contacts on every Coastside call, because that's where the salt does its damage first.

Common repairs we do

What we close on the truck.

Condenser coil and fin corrosion from salt air. A Traulsen reach-in down near the harbor or up in Montara sits in salt air every day, and that pits the condenser fins and corrodes fan motor contacts faster than an inland unit ever sees. I clean and inspect the coil on every coastal call and replace corroded contacts before they cause a no-start.
Thermostat drift on the Main Street weekend rush. On Main Street the weekend crowd runs a reach-in three times as hard as a weekday, and the thermostat drifts out of calibration faster for it. I don't just swap the part. I test it against a reference first, then recalibrate or replace, and stay long enough to see the box actually hold through service.
Door gasket failure from harbor humidity. The damp air off the harbor keeps a door gasket from sealing tight once it starts to age, faster than it would in a drier kitchen. Once air leaks past the seal, the compressor runs nonstop. We keep the common Traulsen gasket sizes on the truck and swap it before the compressor takes the added strain.
