Mobile Welding in Atwater, CA
Atwater is a city on Highway 99 in northern Merced County, 8 miles west-northwest of Merced, the county seat, with Livingston to the northwest. The railroad reached Atwater in the 1870s, and a town grew around it. The rig comes down the hill for repairs and fabrication at farms, yards, homes and jobsites around the city.
Covering Atwater along Highway 99
Down Highway 140 from Mariposa into Merced, then northwest on Highway 99 to Atwater, or south on Highway 99 past Modesto and Turlock. The old Castle air base sits just north of town.

Castle and the old airfield
North of town is the site of Castle Air Force Base, the former World War II Merced Army Airfield. Castle was selected for closure in 1991 and closed on September 30, 1995, and the site is now a public airport, while the Castle Air Museum sits inside the city. The town itself takes its name from Marshall D. Atwater, a wheat farmer whose land the railroad used for its station. Farm trailers, ag equipment and yard machinery get repaired right where they sit, because the rig carries engine-drive welding power, wire feeders, an oxy-acetylene torch and a plasma cutter.
For directions, a landmark helps: the Castle Air Museum, Castle Airport, Atwater High School, or your exit off Highway 99.
Questions we hear
Do you come out to Atwater?
Yes. Atwater's first post office opened in 1880, the city incorporated on August 16, 1922, and its motto is Community Pride, City Wide. The Atwater Signal, one of two weekly papers in town, was first published in 1911. Highway 99 brings the rig right through town. Call or text and we'll set a time.
Can you repair farm equipment around Atwater?
Yes. Cracked drawbars, worn disc gang frames, broken trailer jacks and split loader buckets get welded on site, out in the field or in the yard. Send a photo and the location and we'll plan the trip.
Do you also cover Livingston?
Yes. Livingston sits just northwest of Atwater, so a job there fits the same trip.
What hours do you work?
Regular hours are 8 to 5, Monday through Friday. After-hours and emergency call-outs are available 24 hours a day, Monday - Saturday and are quoted up front. Call or text us to schedule.
