Commercial Cooler Repair,
Done Right the First Time.

Reach-in coolers are the workhorses of any commercial kitchen or convenience store. Glass door merchandisers out front, prep tables on the line, undercounter units at the bar. They run hard, they run constantly, and when one goes down it usually takes product with it.

We repair every type of commercial reach-in cooler. Single and double door merchandisers, prep table coolers, sandwich and pizza prep units, undercounter refrigerators, bar back coolers, chef bases, and worktop refrigerators. If it's commercial and it's supposed to be cold, we work on it.

Our commercial cooler repair service covers Lubbock, Wolfforth, Slaton, Levelland, Plainview, Snyder, Lamesa, Brownfield, and the surrounding South Plains. We're a commercial-only shop, which means the tech who shows up to your restaurant has seen your exact cooler dozens of times before.

The Six Reach-In Cooler Types
We Work On Every Week

If you're not sure what yours is actually called, here's the short glossary. All of these fall under "commercial reach-in cooler repair" and we service all of them.

🥤
Merchandiser

Glass Door Merchandiser

Single, double, or triple glass door units made for displaying product. The ones that fog, flicker, and fail in heat waves.

Convenience stores, delis, bars
🥪
Prep Unit

Sandwich & Pizza Prep

Refrigerated base with a top rail for ingredient pans. Usually the first to break in a busy kitchen and the hardest to run without.

Sandwich shops, pizzerias, delis
📦
Undercounter

Undercounter Cooler

Low-profile refrigerator that slides under a countertop. Tight clearance, hot condenser, short life if the coil isn't cleaned.

Bars, coffee shops, back kitchens
🍸
Bar Back

Bar Back Cooler

Built specifically to live behind a bar. Glass or solid door, usually with bottle rails. Heat, humidity, and hard use are the enemies.

Bars, restaurants, clubs
👨‍🍳
Chef Base

Chef Base

Refrigerated base designed to sit a griddle, range, or fryer directly on top. Compressor takes the heat, which shortens its life without care.

Restaurant lines, ghost kitchens
🧊
Worktop

Worktop Refrigerator

Refrigerator with a flat stainless work surface on top. Middle ground between a prep table and an undercounter unit.

Prep areas, bakeries, cafes

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions we hear all the time from Lubbock businesses. Don't see yours? Call us and ask.

How quickly can you repair my reach-in cooler?
Same-day service is usually possible for commercial customers in Lubbock. Most common reach-in cooler problems (bad fan motors, gaskets, thermostats, condenser cleanings) we can handle on the first visit with parts we stock on the truck.
What's the difference between reach-in cooler repair and commercial cooler repair?
Nothing, really. They're the same thing in industry language. "Reach-in" refers to any commercial cooler where you open a door and reach in for product, as opposed to a walk-in you step inside. Prep tables, merchandisers, undercounter units: all reach-ins.
My prep table is freezing my ingredients. What's wrong?
Almost always a thermostat calibration issue, a stuck damper, or airflow being blocked by overfilled pans. It's one of the most common calls we get and one of the easiest to fix on the first visit.
Do you repair glass door merchandisers?
Absolutely. Merchandiser coolers (the glass door units you see at convenience stores, bars, and delis) are a huge part of what we service. Common issues are fogging glass (usually a heater wire or door seal), LED failures, and fan motor issues.
What brands of reach-in coolers do you work on?
All of them. True, Turbo Air, Beverage-Air, Delfield, Traulsen, Continental, Victory, Randell, and every other major commercial cooler brand. If it's commercial, we've probably worked on it.
