Reach-In Refrigerator repair for Matthews businesses
Matthews combines a walkable downtown restaurant row with heavy retail along US-74 and a busy medical corridor. We serve businesses near downtown Matthews on Trade Street, Independence Boulevard (US-74) and Sycamore Commons, including ZIP codes 28104, 28105 in Mecklenburg County, NC.
Our technicians are in Matthews most days of the week, so a call from a business on Sycamore Commons usually fits into the same day's route. Mecklenburg County health inspectors check cold-holding at 41°F or below and hot-holding at 135°F or above — we repair your reach-in refrigerator to hold those numbers. If a repair is not worth the money, we tell you and quote the replacement — no Matthews customer is pushed into a new unit they don't need. Many of our Matthews customers are along downtown Matthews on Trade Street and Matthews Township Parkway, where busy kitchens run reach-in refrigerator equipment hard from open to close.
