Reefer Repair — Thermo King & Carrier Jerome, Idaho

When you need reefer repair in Jerome, Idaho, the clock is already running. A reefer that won't hold temp puts the whole load at risk, and with the dairy and produce that moves through the Magic Valley, that load is worth real money. We work on Thermo King and Carrier units, at the shop or wherever your trailer sits.

Refrigerated trailer with front-wall reefer unit

What does reefer repair include?

We work on the front-wall mounted reefer unit on your trailer — the diesel engine, compressor, condenser, evaporator, and the controller that runs it all. Common calls: the reefer won't hold temp, it keeps shutting down, it's throwing alarm codes, or it won't start at all. We handle both Thermo King and Carrier units.

We also check the simple stuff first, because it's often the simple stuff. Low fuel in the reefer tank, a weak battery, a plugged return air sensor, dirty coils. We won't sell you a big repair when a small one fixes it.

How fast can you get to a load-save call?

Fast matters more on reefer work than almost anything else we do. If your temp log is about to turn, call (208) 696-9888 and tell us what the unit is doing and where you sit. A local answers, and we'll tell you straight how quick we can be there. We run mobile calls to any I-84 exit from Bliss to Declo, and we're open 7 AM to 10 PM every day.

Many load-save calls are fixed on the spot — a fuel issue, a sensor, a belt. If the unit needs shop time, we'll help you figure out the next move before the load goes bad.

What will it cost?

You get a quote before we start the repair, and the price we quote is the price you pay. On mobile calls, we state a flat call-out fee before we roll. No surprises stacked on top of a stressful day.

Reefer work in dairy country

Jerome County sits in the middle of Idaho dairy country, and Twin Falls has heavy food processing traffic. That means a steady stream of dairy tankers and reefer vans running the I-84 corridor year-round. Summer heat works reefer units hard during produce season, and winter cold snaps bring their own starting problems. We see these units in every season, and we've learned what fails when.

Driver questions

My reefer won't hold temp. Should I keep driving?

Call us first at (208) 696-9888. Tell us the set point, the box temp, and any alarm codes. Sometimes there's a safe way to keep the load cold while you get to us. Sometimes the right move is to stop and let us come to you before the temp log turns.

Do you work on both Thermo King and Carrier?

Yes. Thermo King and Carrier are the two reefer brands we service, at the shop in Jerome or on mobile calls along I-84 from Bliss to Declo.

Can you come to a dock or a lot, not just the roadside?

Yes. A lot of reefer calls are at docks, drop yards, and plant lots around Jerome and Twin Falls. If the trailer is anywhere near an I-84 exit between Bliss and Declo, we can get to it. We state the call-out fee before we roll.
