Come on, man, Berkeley is a perfect utopia for libs - a model of what all American cities should be like. Even the roads are amazing (as in amazingly bad, just like SF, ha).

Just watch out for the Volvos man.... they'll slam on the breaks in front of you if they think someone might need to cross the street.

Looking through the archives many people like EMC Fremont, but a couple have some negative things to say. I could not find negative comments (on Rennlist at least) about Matthew Carlsen in Palo Alto (of course, I didn't read *every* post). Anyone with additional thoughts between these two places?
On the Berkeley comments, Berkeley has better food and views than the peninsula/South Bay, but when it comes to issues of crime, safety, and infrastructure, the peninsula/South Bay is much, much better than Berkeley and SF.
"Berkeley - figures. Stupid dirty hippies. You weren't taking up 2 spots or anything like that, were you?"
No, nothing like that. Just in a spot far from anyone else....I will not stop being outraged until the damage is fixed.On the Berkeley comments, Berkeley has better food and views than the peninsula/South Bay, but when it comes to issues of crime, safety, and infrastructure, the peninsula/South Bay is much, much better than Berkeley and SF.

Please . . . I've felt safer parking my car just about anywhere in Berkeley than leaving it (even within eyesight) for five or ten minutes in parts of the Diamond or Laurel or Fruitvale Districts in Oakland. Doesn't matter where you are, you park your car - you take your chances and trust decency to reign.

Thanks for the kind words and body shop suggestions. This does suck. It is much easier to take someone hitting your car by accident. A random act of vandalism is somehow more disturbing.
Anyways, this happened in Berkeley in one of the university parking lots (the new underground lot Haste Street and Channing). A few months back they started to allow hourly parking (instead of just yearly passes), and the lot became less safe. I'm not parking there anymore.
I think this would be much less likely to have happened in Palo Alto.
I'm thinking of going to EMC in Fremont, as a couple of you have helpfully suggested.

fruitvale..... forget parking a porsche there, i drive pass that area as fast as i can and when my BART has to stop there, i be extra careful. some towns shouldn't exist and this is one of them.
mathew carlsen or the works autobody are the only two shops i trust.
holy christ, NEVER let EMC touch your car. i took my turbo bug (which is as important to me as any of my RS's), they painted OVER the clear bra on the door sill WTF.... moron's. just morons. makes my blood boil every time i drive pass them on the fwy.
m. carlsen does lots of porsches.
the works autobody (near SJ airport) does lots p car and LOTS of ferrari's.
they painted the hood of my orange RS.
