Our shop sits on Oak Rim Ct in Los Gatos, about 38 miles south of Pleasanton. Most mornings we're pulling onto Highway 17 before the sun clears the hills. The drive takes around 43 minutes on a clear day, maybe 44 when traffic backs up near the 680 interchange.
Here's the route we take almost every week: Head north on Highway 17 to Highway 85. Merge onto I-680 North through Milpitas and Fremont. Exit at Stoneridge Drive or Hopyard Road, depending on which part of Pleasanton we're hitting that day. Cut through local streets to reach the neighborhood around the job site.
That stretch of 680 between Sunol and Pleasanton is one well. We schedule most of our Pleasanton carpet steam cleaning jobs to arrive mid-morning. By then the worst of the southbound backup has cleared.
