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!

Recently my car died while I was driving, and I had to have it towed to the repair shop. When it died on me, I did not know what shop to take it to, and I called several shops to interview them first before calling the tow truck. When I called Anywhere Automotive, the owner, Mike, answered the phone, and he really impressed me with his knowledge and customer service skills. I did not know what was wrong with my car at the time, and none of the other shops that I contacted would work on my car (it is a Suzuki SUV, and there are no dealers close by). Mike and his staff were very courteous and professional, and they really impressed me with their knowledge of cars. They gave me a good price for the work and kept to their estimates. In addition, they were patient about answering my questions, and they were very clear about telling me what needed to be done. The owner (Mike) is one of those rare car geniuses (“a mechanic’s mechanic”), and I felt very comfortable leaving my car with him. As a former auto mechanic myself, I tend to be more discerning than most people, and I ask a lot of questions when I have my car worked on, and Mike and his team exceeded my expectations. I can’t say enough good things about this shop. They are honest, hardworking, and very good at what they do. Your car will be in good hands with this shop.

I wanted to Thank You for all that you did for me on my car. It’s nice to have someone that I can trust when it comes to my car. I do appreciate you taking your time to explain things to me. As women, we feel that we can be taken advantage of when it comes to our vehicles. Being single now, I need that stability in knowing that I can rely on someone to take care of my car needs. Carlos has been steady over the years as well. I like being able to drop off my car and pick it up the same day. I hope you have a great day Michael, and again thank you for everything.

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.

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.

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

Not only did he fix our car that nobody else could figure out (everyone said it was totaled – including Toyota Walnut Creek) but he fixed it in 5 days flat and had me back in my car. His knowledge is outstanding as well as his customer service. His prices are more than fair. We will never go anywhere else again for our cars. He has already worked on one of our other vehicles and results were wonderful there as well. Highly recommend – you won’t be disappointed!
