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!

Mike and his team were exceptional! Today I visited Anywhere Automotive, met Mike, and needed a second opinion on a possible $2,000.00 Brake repair to my 2013 Ford Expedition. Mike and his crew pulled all 4 wheels, found that I still had over 50% pad life on all wheels although the rotors where worn, and not a concern at this time. Mike estimated at my current driving habits I still had another 30,000 plus miles left on my brakes. I was absolutely dumbfounded that the previous shop, personal friends of mine, would be so devious to take advantage of a customer and long time friend. On top of this, Mike said there would be no charge for this inspection. What a quality way to conduct business and the superb ethics of professionalism. From today on, I will be a future customer for all my auto needs, and strongly recommend this business to all my friends and acquaintances

I love Anywhere Automotive!!! They have serviced my 2001 Honda Civic and my 2005 Chevy Equinox for over 2 years. At one point the shocks on my Honda needed replaced. I had shopped around for a fair price, and was quoted some totally outrageous amounts. I called Anywhere Automotive and spoke to the owner, Mike, who was very friend and patient with me and explained the uniqueness of my Honda model and that it required more work than in other models to replace the shocks, but he still quoted me a fair and budget friendly price. They did a great job and quickly. They do great work, will drive you to and from work ( within a reasonable distance from the shop) if you need it so you don’t have to wait around at the shop. They are always fast, friendly, professional and you can’t beat their prices. I totally recommend their services. I live an hour from their shop, but I don’t mind driving the distance to get excellent customer service and great prices. They have also done oil changes, brakes, and changed spark plugs, and lots more.

Mike Babcock and Anywhere Automotive was there when I needed them most. No one wants to be left out in the cold with a dead car, but unfortunately this happened to me – and right after I picked up more product for my business, too! I called Mike and he came out to me, fixing my problem and quickly getting me back on the road. I will definitely be using Anywhere Automotive again for any other vehicle needs!

This is a letter of recommendation for your Anywhere Automotive. We have been recommended to A.A. by a friend more than 10 years ago and it was “love at first sight”! Mike is an exceptionally personable and friendly person and his shop is run in the same manner. He first serviced our 1996 Rav4 and we were extremely pleased with both the result and the prices. The car was always ready on time, all problems were handled in utmost professional manner and we developed a mutual respect and trust. Carlos is the chief mechanic at A.A. and he pampered and cured my car many times, until it just was not practical at 250,000 miles! He than took care of my husbands 2002 Miata with the same expertise and knowledge. Currently my 2010 Subaru Forrester is safely in his hands for any checkups, oil changes and maintenance. We were so trilled to have found a shop we can trust to do such and outstanding job on maintaining our cars. There is no better feeling than one of trust and comfort in knowing that our cars are being professionally handled with care, integrity and at a very attractive price.We would absolutely recommend Anywhere Automotive to our friends and family.

They do great work and are very honest and wonderful to work with. I had my 4 runner shocks front brakes and rotors and valve cover gasket replaced at anywhere automotive when i picked my vehicle Mike the owner had took the time to clean my engine I have always wanted to do it but was afraid it wouldn’t start afterward, and I have to tell you my engine look brand new i couldn’t believe it. It was so nice to have someone take that extra time to do something so nice not only that, but I have had no problems with my vehicle the owner of the shop is outstanding to work with I told him what I could afford and he made it work. I had very bad luck with Menike in Martinez to many changes in staff at that place bad repairs the shop manager didn’t seem to know what he was doing he would tell me one thing and the next day it was something else. I am very picky about who works on my truck and with the workmanship that anywhere automotive did they will be my shop going forward i trust mike and I was really happy with the work that was done on my 4runner. I would recommend this shop to anyone who wants their vehicle fixed right.
