Auto detailing in Downtown Berkeley.
Downtown Berkeley is the BART station + Shattuck Avenue + Berkeley Rep + Cal campus edge — daily commute is heavily BART, AC Transit, and bike. The cars that are here trend to Subaru, Toyota, Honda, plus a growing Tesla mix in the newer condo buildings. On-street parking is metered + tight; structured parking in the city garages around Center + Shattuck. Brake-dust loadout from BART foot-traffic + AC Transit buses on University + Shattuck is meaningful. For Downtown Berkeley — ceramic coating and detailing are mobile or shop, same price; mobile crew works in condo structures or on the curb if access is fine. PPF is shop-only (controlled environment required for film install) — drop at our 3425 Ettie St shop, ~15 minutes south via 80.

Downtown Berkeley FAQ
Street parking + mobile ceramic application in downtown Berkeley?
Workable on the residential blocks; harder on Shattuck during business hours. We'll book for a quieter window.
BART parking lot detailing?
Not the right setup — BART lots are public + lack power/water access. Mobile dispatch goes to your home or office instead.
