Repair vs. replace

Why commercial repair pays back fast

Event weekends can't wait for a normal service window

In-season, event-day triage takes priority. Tell dispatch you have a Friday event and we work backward from your call time.

LP-certified — a propane leak is a life-safety issue

LP gas leak diagnosis with a combustible-gas detector on every visit. Regulator, hose, and quick-connect service done in-house.

Mobile-friendly parts pack

Truck-stocked with the top-failure parts for True, Norlake, and Beverage-Air refrigeration plus LP-compatible thermocouples and regulators — most calls finish single-visit even at a curbside event.

If your equipment is down right now

Food truck triage before you call

  1. 1. Verify LP tank valve and regulator

    Confirm the propane tank valve is fully open and the regulator is not frost-jammed (common in cold weather). Do not use a lighter to check leaks — soapy water only.

  2. 2. Check the shore power or generator load

    For 120V refrigeration and lighting, verify the truck is on shore power or the generator is delivering a stable load. Voltage drop kills compressors on hot days.

  3. 3. Snap photos of any warning lights or controller displays

    Photograph controllers on refrigeration, water heater, and range electronics.

  4. 4. Call commercial dispatch — event-weekend priority

    (651) 364-7466. Tell dispatch it's a food truck and whether an event is at risk — we triage accordingly.

FAQs

Common questions from operators

Do you work on food trucks on-site at events?

Yes when the location is safely accessible. Curbside and lot-side service is standard in-season; large festival gate access varies and dispatch will confirm before rolling.

Are you LP gas certified?

Yes. LP-appropriate regulators, thermocouples, hoses, and quick-connects. Combustible-gas detector leak-check on every visit.

Do you service the generator itself?

No — generator engines and inverters are outside our scope. We do service everything downstream of the generator: 120V refrigeration, cooking equipment, water pumps, and hood-adjacent electrical.

What does a season-ready inspection cost?

$285 flat rate. Includes LP leak-check, regulator verification, refrigeration seal and gasket, thermostat calibration, water-system leak-down, and a documented report for the health department.

Do you carry Certificates of Insurance for property managers, hotels, and hospitals?

Yes. We issue COIs naming your property manager, hospitality group, hospital facilities office, or municipal account as additional-insured at no charge — typically the same business day. General liability and workers' comp are in force year-round; we can raise limits per contract on request.

What payment terms do you offer commercial accounts?

First visit is card-on-file or COD. Once an account is established, we invoice Net-15 or Net-30 with itemized statements aligned to your accounting cycle. We accept POs from restaurant groups, hotel brands, property management firms, school districts, and city and county accounts. ACH and card payments both fine.

Do you offer preventive maintenance contracts?

Yes — quarterly, semi-annual, and annual PM plans tiered by equipment count and equipment class. Every visit includes condenser cleaning, drain flushing, gasket and hinge inspection, electrical-tightness verification, controller and setpoint check, and a written report you can hand to insurers, health inspectors, or franchisors.

What refrigerants and fuel systems are your techs certified on?

Every technician holds EPA Section 608 Universal certification covering R-404A, R-448A / R-449A (Solstice N40, Opteon XP40), R-290 hydrocarbon systems where code permits, and legacy R-22. Cooking-equipment techs are gas-certified for natural gas and LP on ranges, fryers, ovens, and combi-ovens.

Do you handle downtown high-rise, hotel, hospital, and event-venue access?

Yes. We coordinate dock and freight-elevator windows in advance, badge in through hotel or hospital engineering, and work around banquet, service-window, and clinical-department timing. Overnight and pre-open service is available when a daytime window won't work.

Are weekend, holiday, and after-hours calls available?

Yes — after-hours, weekend, and holiday emergency dispatch is available for refrigeration, ice, and warewashing failures across the Twin Cities metro. A published after-hours premium applies and is confirmed in writing before the tech leaves the shop.

What warranty comes on commercial repairs?

A 1-year written parts-and-labor warranty on every commercial repair — the same failure mode, on the same unit, within 12 months is covered at no additional charge. Some sealed-system components carry an extended manufacturer warranty on top; those terms are itemized on the invoice.

Do you work on food trucks, ghost kitchens, and mobile catering rigs?

Yes. Truck-mounted reach-ins, undercounter units, generator-fed ice machines, and mobile prep tables are all serviceable — we typically shop-visit at your commissary or overnight parking rather than roadside so the unit can stabilize before diagnosis.

Can you provide written estimates and health-inspector documentation?

Yes. Written estimates are issued before any sealed-system, compressor, or major-component work. On request we provide inspector-ready documentation: repair scope, part numbers, refrigerant type and charge, and the date service restored the unit to spec.
