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!

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 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!

 I have been a patron of Anywhere Automotive for the past 10 years Over the course of those 10 years have owned 4 different vehicles. I have done everything from oil changes, to large jobs and Anywhere automotive has always delivered quality work, often ahead of time, and at the lowest price possible. The staff at Anywhere Automotive has always been courteous, friendly, and fair, which is what has kept me coming back all these years. The owner, Mike, has always made it a point to personally take care of me, and give me the best prices in town. He’s even picked me up in his personal car when my car has left me stranded, after hours on the weekend. Anywhere Automotive has consistently gone over and beyond the normal standard one could come to expect of their mechanic, which is why I not only call the guys at Anywhere Auto my go to guys for anything car related, but my longtime friends as well.

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.

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.
