North Concord and Willow Pass: park-and-ride lots, late homecomings and the last of the tract streets

The streets running north along Willow Pass Road toward the old Naval Weapons Station, with the North Concord/Martinez BART station, its park-and-ride lots and the frontage roads either side of Highway 242. Twenty-three minutes from the plaza, and much of the work here happens in a parking lot.

Todos Santos Lock Co. serving North Concord & Willow Pass

The park-and-ride is the busiest single address in this district. A car stands in the open from seven in the morning until eight at night, the owner walks back across the lot in the dark, and the fob does nothing. Most of the time that is a coin cell that gave out while the car sat, changed on the spot inside the visit. When it is not, programming a fob at the vehicle is $89 to $179, a floor level with the $89 visit that never drops below it. Keys shut inside with a laptop bag are a car lockout at $95 to $179. A key genuinely lost somewhere between an office downtown and the platform, with the spare in a drawer at home, is a replacement cut and coded beside the car at $149 to $379, and none of that needs a tow. An ignition that turns partway and stalls is $169 to $415.

Out here the row is the address, so it matters more than any street name. Say which lot, which row and the nearest stair, and give the make, model and year, because that decides what comes out of the van and whether the job takes fifteen minutes or forty. Nights with something on at the Concord Pavilion produce their own run of calls, all of them at once and all of them in a lot. Motorcycles parked on the frontage roads lose keys as readily as cars do, and a bike key made on site is $112 to $259. The van meets you at a lot entrance or a stair rather than circling the aisles, and the walk to the vehicle adds nothing to the figure.

Behind the lots are houses, and they are the last phase of the tract years rather than the first. The order that fitted these streets came in around 1967 and 1968 and included the deadbolt from the start, mounted in line with the knob, which is the one place in Concord where the front door arrived complete. That makes rekeying quick, and it is $25 to $40 per cylinder with the front, the garage side door, the back door and the gate quoted as a single figure. A house lockout is $115 to $195. Where a door has been forced, repair is $159 to $399 and the house is locking again before the technician leaves. Calls are answered 24/7, with $40 inside the figure from 8pm and $75 from midnight, which is when a fair number of these lot calls happen.

In a lot, give the lot, the row and the nearest stair, plus the make, model, year and color. For a house, a cross street off Willow Pass Road helps, and say whether the deadbolt is the original one in line with the knob or something added later.

FAQ

Asked from North Concord & Willow Pass

Which BART lot is this, and how do I describe where the car is?+

North Concord/Martinez, and the rows are the thing to give: the section, the row, then the make and the color. Twenty-three minutes from the plaza covers it. After midnight the $75 overnight amount is already inside the figure you hear, so nothing gets added once the van is standing at the space.

Half of this area is open land. Will an address out there be found?+

The streets running out toward the old weapons station thin out fast and a few are unsigned, so give a cross street off Willow Pass Road or Port Chicago Highway along with the number. Twenty-three minutes is the estimate for the built-up part of it; if your address sits past that, you hear so on the call.

Is there anything different about the houses here?+

They are late tract streets, so the bore and the backset are the ones carried for the rest of the city, but a good share have picked up a security screen over the front door. A screen is neither an obstacle nor a second door on the bill: it is opened, then the lock behind it, all inside the one figure.

Open 24 hours, 7 days

Give the street, hear the figure, and the door gets opened the way it was built to be opened

Concord, Pleasant Hill, Pacheco, Clayton, Martinez and Walnut Creek, 24/7, holidays included. Say what the door is doing and one figure comes back with the $89 visit already inside it and the hour already counted. The lock is opened without damage wherever it can be, and the receipt shows what the call showed, whether the deed is in your name or the lease is.
