Union City is the northern third of the Tri-City area and the most varied of the three for housing. Decoto, along Decoto Rd east of Alvarado-Niles Rd, has the oldest homes in the city, small bungalows from the town's railroad days with locks to match. The subdivisions off Alvarado Blvd and Dyer St are 1980s and 90s tract houses, and the blocks around Union City BART have filled in with townhomes and apartment stacks over the last decade. Rekeys at $22–$38 per cylinder are the most common job in all three, with lock replacement at $95–$265 when the old hardware is past saving.
Union Landing off Alvarado-Niles Rd and I-880 is the busiest lockout spot, with the theater and restaurant lots producing keys-in-car calls late into the evening; a car lockout is $89–$159, plus the $35 evening rate after 8 pm. Commuters at Union City BART call about dead fobs and keys lost on the train, and fob programming at $93–$160 or a full replacement key at $135–$375 is done in the station lot. Arrival is a straight run up I-880 or Fremont Blvd, and the estimate only slips during the afternoon backup at the Decoto Rd and Mission Blvd interchange.
Say whether you are at Union Landing, the BART lot or a home address, and for the newer townhome rows near the station give the building letter, since the streets there do not show up on every map.

FAQ
Questions about Union City
Which part of Union City is quickest to reach from Fremont?+
Decoto and anything close to Alvarado-Niles Rd, because the run is straight up I-880 or Fremont Blvd. Twenty-five minutes is the working average across the city. The afternoon backup at the Decoto Rd and Mission Blvd interchange is the one thing that reliably adds to it.
My key went off on the train. Can a new one be made in the BART lot?+
Yes. A replacement key is cut and programmed at the car, which is where anything with a chip has to happen anyway. Plan on the car staying put for the visit. A full replacement key runs $135 to $375 depending on the make, and a fob on its own is $93 to $160.
The townhomes near the station are not on my map app. What should I send?+
The building letter and the nearest cross street, plus whether your entrance opens onto the interior courtyard. Those blocks went up after most map data was drawn, so a pin dropped from an address search often lands on the arterial rather than on the private lane your door actually faces.
