Mobile Welding in Auburn, CA
Auburn is the Placer County seat, about 800 vertical feet above where the North Fork and Middle Fork of the American River meet. Miners from Auburn, New York named the camp in August 1849, and Auburn was chosen as the county seat in 1851. It counted 13,776 people at the 2020 census. The rig runs the foothills from Sonora for repairs and fabrication at ranches, homes, shops and jobsites in and around Auburn.
Covering Auburn on I-80 and Highway 49
Interstate 80 runs through Auburn between Sacramento and Reno. Highway 49 enters the city as High Street, turns west on Elm Avenue, shares I-80 for a stretch, then heads almost due north out of the city limits.

Gold camp, rail stop, county seat
The Central Pacific Railroad reached Auburn in 1865, and the station is now the eastern end of Amtrak California's Capitol Corridor. Rolling foothills suited to agriculture lie west of town, and Auburn and the nearby parts of Placer County hold over 20 wineries. Ranch trailers, vineyard equipment and tractor implements get welded on the property, since the rig carries engine-drive welding power, wire feeders, an oxy-acetylene torch and a plasma cutter.
A landmark gets the rig there faster: the Placer County Courthouse, the Auburn Firehouse and its clock tower, the Joss House, or the Auburn Municipal Airport three miles north of town.
Questions we hear
Do you come out to Auburn?
Yes. The restored Old Town has houses and shops from the middle of the 19th century, and the oldest fire station and the post office date from the Gold Rush years. I-80 brings the rig into town. Call or text and we'll set a time.
Can the rig weld a sprayer bracket or ranch trailer out past Auburn?
Yes. A cracked ranch trailer tongue, a broken vineyard sprayer frame bracket, a bent box blade and a split tractor drawbar get welded on site. Send a photo and the address and we'll plan the trip.
Do you also cover North Auburn?
Yes. Highway 49 continues north out of Auburn to Bell Road in North Auburn, so a North Auburn job sits right on the way.
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.
Something broken in Auburn?
Ranch, Old Town shop or driveway, text a photo, and the rig takes I-80 up the hill.
