I have been a Customer of Anywhere Auto for over 20 years. I had been referred to them initially when I had a job transfer to the Bay Area.My Toyota 4-Runner’s engine had died, I was under warranty, yet The Dealership was not honoring the warranty, telling me that I would be responsible to pay excessive repairs & giving me the run around. As a single Woman in a Car Crisis, with very little resources, I felt very intimidated. A Friend suggested I contact Mike Babcock of Anywhere Auto. He not only advised me of how the Dealership was in the wrong but went to bat with them & the Warranty Company. He soon discovered that there had been repeat instances of the same issue with Toyota 4-Runner’s Engines due to a faulty design & that they had been recalled. He not only was able to replace the Engine but had the Warranty Company foot the bill with no out of pocket expense to me. Anywhere Auto is not only reliable & dependable, they are honest & trust worthy. Several years have passed, and though I am no longer in the Bay area, & have yet a different car, I still continue contact them for advice about my car. I think Mike Babcock is the Car Whisper, as I will describe the problem I am having with my car over the phone & he is always RIGHT! He just saved me $950 on my car this week. When My Ford Explorer repeatedly hesitated to start, I was told I needed a new Fuel Pump. I called Mike & explained the various estimates which were $900 to $950. I mentioned I just had an oil change & had the air filter replaced. Mike suggested have the air filter checked to see […]

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.

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.

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 wanted to give a shout out to the guys @ Anywhere Automotive. I’m a single mom, 3 kids, 8pm and we were driving home from Tahoe when my car started to overheat. Needless to say, I started to panic. I Googled Automotive, their # came up, so I took the chance in calling. Mike answered. I explained my problem & he said “No problem”. I had my car towed in and the next day my car was completely done. Their customer service was outstanding, my car is running great and I would highly recommend Anywhere Automotive to anyone.
