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 LOVE taking my car to Anywhere Automotive. I know that when I do, I’ll be greeted by some of the most friendly and service-oriented people I know. It makes car repairs a positive experience every time. They always do great work on the car and they take care of it like it’s their own baby. They are also honest and very reasonably priced. I recommend them to everyone.

I drive 100 miles, round trip, to have them service my car and my husband’s car because they are are always courteous, honest, affordable, have reliablydiagnose my problem, and fixed it quickly. Great people, great service, great prices! I highly recommend them for all of your auto repair needs.

Mike and his team were exceptional! From the time we first spoke on the phone, I could tell what an honest and kind guy Mike was! My car wouldn’t start and so I had it towed down to Anywhere Automotive (same day service when every other shop turned me away). My dad is actually a mechanic and he met me at the shop to discuss with Mike what “the plan” would be. Mike was kind and courteous to my father and they were on the same page. Mike charged me reasonably for diagnosing the issue as well as fixing the problem… in fact; he really cut me a deal! He stuck to the original estimate he gave me even though he did so much more and had to buy one part twice (the first one was defective and the 2nd part cost him more). He got my car back to me the next day all fixed up and running great! His receipt broke down every part and service charge so that I knew exactly what I was paying for. I really appreciated Mike’s work!!! I will recommend him to everyone that I can and will be back for all my future car services!A+++ business ethic and workmanship!!!

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.

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.
