Do the technicians have the part I need on the truck with them? If not, how long will I have to wait for parts ordered?
The technicians carry the most commonly used parts for most of the major manufacturers with them on the trucks. Of course, they can't possibly have everything! So our warehouse in Gold River has a tremendous inventory of parts for not only cooking equipment but refrigeration and heating and air conditioning equipment, including ice machine parts. The warehouse is fully stocked with compressors, motors, belts and other specialty parts. So the chances of Golden State having the parts you need are very good. However, if a part is out of stock or is a non-stock item and has to be specially ordered, it only takes a day or two to receive that part from the manufacturer. The only exception would be if the manufacturer is out of stock or the part is a made to order item.

Will I be charged for freight on parts ordered?
If the part ordered is not a standard stock item, there will be a freight charge to bring that part into our warehouse. There are no special handling charges, only the actual cost of shipping the part.

How long will I have to wait for service and what time will the technician arrive?
In most cases, service calls are done the same day. Definitely, all emergencies are within an hour or so. Non-emergencies will be scheduled for later that day or in the AM of the following day. Exact time appointments can be scheduled as first calls of the day. Once the day's scheduling has been routed, however, it is impossible to schedule exact times because there is no way of knowing how long the technician will be on the other calls.
