True in Castro Valley
True refrigeration in Castro Valley.
Castro Valley is the quieter end of the East Bay, and most of the True gear sits along Castro Valley Boulevard or in the strip centers near BART. Family diners, a few taquerias and pho spots, a couple of bars, neighborhood markets. Smaller market than Hayward or Oakland, but a True reach-in that won't hold temp is the same emergency anywhere: product on the line and a health inspector who doesn't care that you're small.
The kitchen work here is mostly True and Beverage-Air reach-ins and prep tables. True boxes are built to last, so the calls are about age and wear, not a flaw in the cabinet. We carry common start components, contactors, relays, fan motors, and gasket stock on the truck, so a lot of Castro Valley True calls involve parts we usually stock.
Common repairs we do
What we close on the truck.
- Box drifting warm overnight. The most common True call is a reach-in or prep table that won't hold setpoint, usually an aged control or thermostat, a seized evaporator fan motor, or an iced coil from a stuck defrost. We provide a written repair estimate after the on-site diagnosis and before any work starts.
- Prep-table rails that sweat and stop cooling. On a hot afternoon a True prep rail that sweats and quits cooling usually traces to a dirty condenser or a torn gasket. We clean the coil, swap the gasket from truck stock, and get the rail holding below 41 again.
- Sealed-system leaks. After fifteen or twenty years, a line or joint opens and the charge bleeds off. We recover, evacuate, and weigh in the charge in-house under EPA #1279674151528, and we're R290 trained for the newer self-contained boxes. We provide a written repair estimate after the on-site diagnosis and before any work starts.

FAQ
True in Castro Valley questions, answered.
-
Are you a factory True dealer?
No. We service True as an independent shop. The only factory certification we hold is on Manitowoc ice machines, no authorization claim on True. -
Can you get to Castro Valley same-day?
Usually. Castro Valley sits on the same route as Hayward, so same-day on a real outage is generally doable. We dispatch from San Ramon, 7 AM to 7 PM seven days, same number after hours. -
Is it worth fixing an older True or should I replace it?
Usually worth fixing. True cabinets last, and most repairs beat replacement on cost. If a unit genuinely doesn't pencil out, we'll say so.
