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!

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

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!

This is a letter of recommendation for your Anywhere Automotive. We have been recommended to A.A. by a friend more than 10 years ago and it was “love at first sight”! Mike is an exceptionally personable and friendly person and his shop is run in the same manner. He first serviced our 1996 Rav4 and we were extremely pleased with both the result and the prices. The car was always ready on time, all problems were handled in utmost professional manner and we developed a mutual respect and trust. Carlos is the chief mechanic at A.A. and he pampered and cured my car many times, until it just was not practical at 250,000 miles! He than took care of my husbands 2002 Miata with the same expertise and knowledge. Currently my 2010 Subaru Forrester is safely in his hands for any checkups, oil changes and maintenance. We were so trilled to have found a shop we can trust to do such and outstanding job on maintaining our cars. There is no better feeling than one of trust and comfort in knowing that our cars are being professionally handled with care, integrity and at a very attractive price.We would absolutely recommend Anywhere Automotive to our friends and family.

I’ve used many independent mechanics, as well as dealerships, over the years buthave never gotten such good service as I have with Mike and his team at Anywhere Automotive. I’ve gone to them for over 8 years for both my cars and always get quick, honest repairs. Their staff is very friendly too! In a tough economy like this, they’ve put my interests ahead of their own and look for ways to make our cars last longer thereby saving us money. They truly make sure my wife and I are satisfied on all repairs. I’ll continue to trust Anywhere Automotive to keep my cars running smoothly.” 1993 Acura Legend Coupe with over 260,000 miles1999 Honda Civic Sedan with over 160,000 miles

Mike Babcock and Anywhere Automotive was there when I needed them most. No one wants to be left out in the cold with a dead car, but unfortunately this happened to me – and right after I picked up more product for my business, too! I called Mike and he came out to me, fixing my problem and quickly getting me back on the road. I will definitely be using Anywhere Automotive again for any other vehicle needs!
