Dublin FAQs
Q: How did Dublin get its name?
A: Dublin got its name due to the large number of Irish settlers who moved to the area during the 19th century. Originally, the region was known as Amador Valley, but as more Irish immigrants settled there, the town began to take on characteristics reminiscent of Dublin, Ireland, with the influence of Irish culture becoming a prominent feature. In 1982, when the area was officially incorporated as a city, the name "Dublin" was chosen to honor the Irish heritage of many of its early settlers.
Q: I'm starting a new job soon—what are the traffic conditions during commute hours in Dublin?
A: Traffic conditions can be quite congested during commute hours, particularly due to Dublin's location at the intersection of two major highways: I-580 and I-680. These highways serve as key routes for commuters traveling to and from the East Bay, Tri-Valley, and Silicon Valley areas.
Q: When should I tell my parents to visit?
A: The best time to visit Dublin is during the spring and fall when the weather is mild and pleasant, perfect for outdoor activities and exploring the city.

Choosing an Auto Repair Shop
When choosing an auto repair shop, don’t base your choice solely on the labor rate. This has little to do with the actual cost of the job and even less to do with the quality of the work. A more important factor to consider is the shop’s ability to provide an accurate diagnosis and a successful repair.
