ABOUT US

Anywhere Automotive is a Family Owned Business for Over 35 Years


Founded and managed by Michael Babcock since 1980.

Mike’s experience and willingness began at the young age 17 in San Diego California. It’s funny today when I think of being a business owner & how it all started. My love for cars has always been a part of my life – taking things apart & knowing what to do with them next. I bought my first vehicle, a 1955 Chevy truck, 15 years old, before I had my license. With that truck, I did a complete “ground up” restoration, lifted it 14”, made it 4x4 and showed at the San Diego Car Show. Took Second Overall in the Truck Class.

Mike embodies an entrepreneurial spirit and has established base roots in the automotive industry for over 43 years. He started his apprenticeship with a local tire store in San Diego California. His experience directed him on to Goodyear tire as he worked his way to be one of the best and top producing technicians mastering suspension, brakes, alignment, Cooling systems, air condition, and smog while going to school to become ASE certified in all areas, Mike then worked at several dealerships Nissan, Honda, Toyota, and Chrysler and with all his knowledge he decided to go into business for himself. In 1980, at home in his driveway Anywhere Automotive was actually started.

Anywhere Automotive was officially opened for business first in Southern California and then moving and reestablishing the business to Concord California in December 1988. Starting with a single employee, leasing a 1,000 square foot building, it wasn’t long before more space was needed to expand and hire employees. Anywhere Automotive is a highly successful and progressive automotive business today. Serving all its customers with the highest level of customer satisfactions while providing outstanding service on all your automotive needs for over 30 years!

Jasmine A., Concord, CA

We needed a good shop close to work Not far from home and found Anywhere Auto on the web. We were surprised at how accurate they diagnose and how quickly they work to get our car in shape and back to us. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. Lynn is such a doll. She is a joy to talk to and easy to work with. Mike or any of his staff would give us a ride to work or where we need to be dropped off if our car needs more than a few hours work. Sometimes it’s tough to fix an aging car to where you want it to be especially since we put so many miles on it. Mike gives us options on what can be fixed while working with a budget. We’re happy with their work and would recommend them to our family & friends.

Stumbled across this place online when my radiator wasn’t working right. They got right to work on it. So personable, trustworthy… Felt more like some friends helping me out than a repair shop. I will tell everyone I know about this place. So glad I found them. So thankful for their friendly, honest ways. They gave us a lift to and from another location while they got my car in excellent working condition in such a short time. Its so rare to find such great customer service much less trustworthy mechanics. These guys are great. I will be back.

I first came to Anywhere last year when I was needing a quick repair that would last. Leaving I felt good enough to program the number into my phone. Today when I needed some brake work done and a leak repaired, I was treated to even more of a good experience. I believe I have found my truck’s home for repair. I found the entire staff from owner, other mechanics all the way to kindhearted assistant extremely friendly, helpful, welcoming as well as full of integrity and pride in their work. It was a pleasure and shall be again to work with this shop. Thank you very much again!

Thank You again for taking care of this “old woman”. Between you and Carlos  I feel fortunate that I can call on you two for my auto needs. I’ve been coming to you for over 20 + years now. Since Owen passed I’ve really relied on you two to help me. I appreciate you always being kind and considerate of my issues at hand. Thank you for going out of your way to help me in certain ways. At my age, I call you my “car doctor”. My friends get a kick out of that. I’ve got doctors for everything else. Thank you for sending out the coupons that I get in the mail. They sure do help me out when I need them the most. You’re a gentleman Michael and I sure thank you.
