What the rules require

8 stations in El Cerrito are on the official list: El Cerrito Honda at 11755 San Pablo Ave; R & R Auto Service at 6700 Fairmount Ave; El Cerrito Star Smog at 10439 San Pablo Ave, and 5 more listed above.
What is the nearest option outside El Cerrito?
Ben's Auto Repair in Richmond, about 1.4 miles away in a straight line. Open the listing for directions.
How many stations are there in Contra Costa county?
173 in Contra Costa county and 5,974 across California.
How many of these stations are still licensed?
8 of the 8 whose register publishes dates hold a license that has not expired. The official register lists live and lapsed records together; the split here is computed from the expiry date it publishes.
How long have they held their licenses?
Across the 8 with a recorded first-issue date the median is 24 years, and the longest is 52 years: Pauls Shop, first licensed in January 1974.
How many are rated?
7 of 8 have a Google rating, averaging 4.5 across 5132 reviews.
Why are some entries missing from the map?
1 of these 8 records give a PO box, a bare route number or a road junction instead of a street address, so no coordinate could be derived for them. They are still listed and searchable by name, city and county, and they are left out of the map and the "nearest to me" results. Placing a PO box at a plausible-looking point would make the map look complete and be wrong.
