Berkeley is a five-to-fifteen-minute run from our Emeryville base by San Pablo, University or the I-80 frontage — which makes it one of the places we get to fastest. Campus parking structures, the Marina, the Gilman district, Solano and Shattuck, and the steep, narrow streets up in the hills where a tire change needs real care.

Where Berkeley breaks down

I-80 along the waterfront and the University Avenue exit, Ashby and Gilman on and off-ramps, the campus garages where batteries die over long semesters, and the hills — Grizzly Peak, Marin Avenue, Euclid — where jacking a car safely on a grade is the whole job.

Students, staff and visitors

Dead batteries in campus garages and cars that sat over break are our most common Berkeley calls. Give us the garage and level and we'll find you. If you're a visitor unfamiliar with the area, tell dispatch the nearest cross street and we'll take it from there.
