Mobile Welding in Ceres, CA
Ceres sits in the San Joaquin Valley along Highway 99, south of Modesto and north of Turlock, on the flat ground the valley's alluvial fans left behind. Named after the Roman goddess of agriculture, it is part of the Modesto metropolitan area. The rig comes down the hill for repairs and fabrication at farms, yards, homes and jobsites around the city.
Covering Ceres along Highway 99
Down Highway 108 or Highway 132 into Modesto, where both meet Highway 99, then south on the freeway to Ceres. Highway 99 runs on from here to Turlock, so jobs on either side of town are an easy reach.

Founding families
The first families to settle Ceres, those of John Service, Cassius Warner and Daniel Whitmore, arrived in 1867, and Whitmore is considered the founding patriarch. His 1870 home on 5th Street still stands, fully restored by the city and the Ceres Historical Society. The city now covers about 9.5 square miles and keeps 11 parks. Trucks, trailers and farm machinery get repaired 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: Ceres River Bluff Regional Park, the Daniel Whitmore House on 5th Street, or your exit off Highway 99.
Questions we hear
Do you come out to Ceres?
Yes. Ceres incorporated on February 26, 1918, and in the early 1890s outlaws Chris Evans and John Sontag robbed several Southern Pacific trains there. Spring still brings the Ceres Street Faire on the first weekend in May. Highway 99 brings the rig right through town. Call or text with the job and we'll set a time.
Can you repair a work truck or trailer in Ceres?
Yes. Flatbeds, dump bodies, trailer frames and headache racks get welded at your yard or right at the curb. Send a photo and the address and we'll plan the trip.
Do you also cover Modesto and Turlock?
Yes. Ceres sits right between them on Highway 99, so a job in either city 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 Ceres?
Text the job and the address, and the rig rolls south off Highway 99 into Ceres.
