Commercial Equipment Repair

Family firm serving South Bend and the wider Michiana region, founded by Larry Layden, who came to South Bend in 1974 servicing printing presses, moved into refrigeration as presses became obsolete, spent ten years as a technician and then started his own company. He is still working at 81, and his grandson Aaron Winslow, who began helping at 13, is now full-time manager. Their own pages give two different start dates, 1984 in one place and 1986 in another, so treat the exact year loosely; either way it is around four decades. Work covers commercial refrigeration and foodservice equipment, coolers and freezers, ice machines, kitchen equipment and generators, with preventive maintenance and emergency repair offered though no hours are published. Their named clients are the useful signal here, long-standing local businesses including Barnaby’s Pizza, Cosimo & Susie’s and the South Bend Farmers Market, which is the kind of client list a small shop earns by lasting. One practical note: no street address appears anywhere on their site, so this is a dispatch-to-you operation reached by phone or email.
