    Anywhere Automotive is a Family Owned Business for Over 35 Years

    Man wearing a gray shirt with a pool in the background.

    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!

    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.

    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 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 […]

    Not only did he fix our car that nobody else could figure out (everyone said it was totaled – including Toyota Walnut Creek) but he fixed it in 5 days flat and had me back in my car. His knowledge is outstanding as well as his customer service. His prices are more than fair. We will never go anywhere else again for our cars. He has already worked on one of our other vehicles and results were wonderful there as well. Highly recommend – you won’t be disappointed!

    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!
