Mobile Welding in Capitola, CA
Capitola is on the northern shores of Monterey Bay, and Capitola Village sits at the beach by the mouth of Soquel Creek, in a depression among the cliffs. Known as the oldest beach resort on the West Coast, it was incorporated on January 11, 1949. The rig crosses the valley from the foothills for repairs and fabrication at homes, shops, driveways and jobsites across Capitola.
Covering Capitola from Highway 1

Soquel Landing to Camp Capitola
The original settlement grew out of what was then called Soquel Landing, named for a wharf at the mouth of Soquel Creek, and the area became known as Camp Capitola once it was developed as a seaside resort. The Venetian Court sits on the beach just east of the pier. Kayak trailers, bike racks and truck hitches 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 Esplanade, the Riverview Historic District along Soquel Creek, or Capitola Mall.
Questions we hear
Do you come out to Capitola?
Yes. Cliffs mark access to several popular beaches here, including New Brighton Beach, and the Riverview Historic District runs along Soquel Creek. The rig comes up the coast on Highway 1. Call or text and we'll set a time.
Kayak trailer or bike rack cracked in Capitola, can you weld it?
Yes. A cracked kayak trailer crossbar, a bent hitch-mount bike rack, a broken beach wagon frame and a rusted bumper bracket get welded at the curb. Send a photo and the address and we'll plan the trip.
Do you also cover Soquel?
Yes. Soquel Creek flows through Soquel before it reaches the village, so a Soquel job 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.
Something broken in Capitola?
Village, cliffs or Forty-first Avenue, text the address, and the rig follows Highway 1 up the bay.
