You can go the MapQuest route...sure you'll get there, but 
Try taking 880 down to South Fremont, right after the truck scales.
Right from the ramp, get in the left lane.
Take the first left, hard.
Leads to a sharp right, and a straight parallel to the freeway
Then a sharp right followed by a sharper left by Lam Research.
Turn left at the STOP onto Warren
Nice sweeping right onto the Mission offramp from 880
Over the freeway on a large sweeper, stay right to stay on Warren. You do NOT want to go under the train tracks, that's the wrong way.
Turn right at the light (Kato) in the dedicated yield lane into a ~180 right
That's followed by three sweepers, left, right, left.
Then COOL IT. Kato sometimes has a motorcycle cop on it. He hides in the shadows of the buildings along that road. A couple people I work with have gotten "tickets" there. They weren't real tickets, as they were 0 points and you had to pay the city of Fremont directly. Weirdness. But cruise Kato at like 40, at least until you get past HMT and the turnoff to Compaq.
Kato turns into Scott Creek. Pass one light, go over the train tracks, then turn right at the next light onto Warm Springs / Milpitas Blvd
Pass the 76 on your left, then one more light and turn right right after the Animal Hospital. That's Minnis Circle. Start out to the left for the fastest direction for Auto Innovations.
Saturday morning there won't be any traffic...take advantage of it

You can see the Fremont Blvd. overpass about 1/3rd of the way from right to left and just a little down from the top.
Then you can see the 180 just over halfway down about 3/4 of the way to the right and the big sweeper over the freeway just down and to the left of that.
Standard Disclaimer:
Public Roads, could be traffic even on the weekend. Also there is a Fire Station along this route, so use some brains/caution.
