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.

Mike’s shop is the only place I’ll take my car too. They are honest, fair, extremely knowledgeable, and overall great people. I took my car in for a new transmission, clutch, water pump, timing belt, and brakes and they gave me an amazing deal and got all of the work done extremely quickly!! Lynne is one of the sweetest people I’ve met and she is a pleasure to work with. Mike has been working on cars for years and I trust him and his work entirely. Best place to take your car; I won’t go anywhere else!

Eureka, I found Anywhere Auto Repair. I called around and talked to a few auto repair shops when my ’05 Dodge Magnum motor blew. It was Mike who (over the phone) made the most sense about troubleshooting the situation and making recommendations, so I decided to go with Anywhere Auto. I’m here to say they did an incredible job replacing my 5.7 liter Hemi with a remanufactured engine. Now my car runs like new! Truly, I ran into the pros from Dover! Thanks Mike (and Lynn) for making this repair as painless as possible and I know I got a great deal overall! These folks know what they’re doing!

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.

Anywhere Automotive took the hassle away from having to leave my car at a shop for a weekend to get it worked on. Pricing was very fair, and the work was done quick. I have always been able to take my car in the same day or within 2 days after calling to make an appointment. The mechanic Carlos is well informed and doesn’t beat around the bush like most shops do. If something is fine, he doesn’t tell me that I have to change it just to make more money. He takes care of things in a timely manner. Lynn is amazing. She is super nice and makes me feel welcome to bring my car back anytime. She took care of everything I needed and even gave me a ride back to work while my car was being worked on. I recommend Anywhere Automotive to anyone at any time!
