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.

They do great work and are very honest and wonderful to work with. I had my 4 runner shocks front brakes and rotors and valve cover gasket replaced at anywhere automotive when i picked my vehicle Mike the owner had took the time to clean my engine I have always wanted to do it but was afraid it wouldn’t start afterward, and I have to tell you my engine look brand new i couldn’t believe it. It was so nice to have someone take that extra time to do something so nice not only that, but I have had no problems with my vehicle the owner of the shop is outstanding to work with I told him what I could afford and he made it work. I had very bad luck with Menike in Martinez to many changes in staff at that place bad repairs the shop manager didn’t seem to know what he was doing he would tell me one thing and the next day it was something else. I am very picky about who works on my truck and with the workmanship that anywhere automotive did they will be my shop going forward i trust mike and I was really happy with the work that was done on my 4runner. I would recommend this shop to anyone who wants their vehicle fixed right.

 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.

Mike at Anywhere Automotive is extremely knowledgeable about a wide range of automobile problems. He is very accurate, fair and accommodating. You would always know ahead of time what your car needs, how much it is going to cost and how long it will take to complete the job. His diagnostic skills and recommendations are superb. It is rare to find a combination of such knowledge and service orientation. It is a pleasure to do business with him and his capable, accommodating staff.

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!
