True in Half Moon Bay
True refrigeration in Half Moon Bay.
Half Moon Bay anchors the Coastside, and its restaurant scene splits between the shops on Main Street and the seafood spots down at Pillar Point Harbor, plenty of them running True reach-ins and prep tables behind the line. We cover the smaller towns strung along Highway 1 just north of town on the same route, Montara, Moss Beach, and El Granada, so a call from any of them gets the same response as one from Main Street.
The one thing that changes out here is the salt air. It works into a True condenser coil and pits an evaporator fan motor faster than it would twenty minutes inland, and we see corrosion-driven failures on this coast years before we'd expect them in San Carlos or Redwood City. We're EPA 608 certified for the recovery and recharge work either way, and our technician on this route is based in San Mateo County, coming over Highway 92 rather than from San Ramon.
Common repairs we do
What we close on the truck.
- Condenser coils corroding in the salt air. A True T-49 reach-in at the harbor or on Main Street runs its compressor hot once the condenser coil picks up enough salt to block airflow, and left long enough that heat trips the compressor out on overload. We clean what we can save and flag a coil that's corroded past the point of cleaning.
- Fan motors pitting faster on the coast. The same salt air that eats at a coil also pits the bearings in a True evaporator or condenser fan motor, and a pitted motor runs noisy before it seizes outright. We replace the motor off the truck rather than waiting for it to fail mid-service.
- Leak repair at corroded joints. A brazed joint weakened by years of salt air is a common spot for a True unit to lose its charge on the coast. We recover what's left, repair or replace the corroded section, pull a vacuum, and weigh in a fresh charge under EPA #1279674151528.

FAQ
True in Half Moon Bay questions, answered.
-
Do you cover Montara, Moss Beach, and El Granada, or just Half Moon Bay, and how fast?
All of it, one Coastside route. Our technician is based in San Mateo County and comes over Highway 92, so the whole coast is treated as local, not a special trip from the East Bay. We don't promise same-day, but a warm reach-in during service hours moves up fast. Call (925) 999-4095. -
Are you authorized by True?
No. We're an independent shop up and down the coast, no factory authorization to claim. Manitowoc is the one exception, and that's their ice machines. -
What's the diagnostic cost?
$99, credited toward the repair, with a written quote before we touch anything.
