Mobile Welding in Chowchilla, CA
Chowchilla is a city in Madera County, in California's Central Valley, 16 miles northwest of Madera via Highway 99, 18 miles southeast of Merced and 39 miles northwest of Fresno. Ash Slough, a tributary of the Fresno River, runs along the northern edge of the city. The rig comes down the hill for repairs and fabrication at farms, ranches, yards and homes around Chowchilla.

Fog, heat and open farmland
The word Chowchilla is an anglicized spelling of chaushila, the name of the Yokuts people who lived in and around what is now Madera County. Summer heat can reach 110 degrees or more, frequent fog rolls in from November to March, and snow is rare. Highway 233 runs northeast through farmland on its way into town. Hay equipment, stock trailers and shop 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: Chowchilla Airport southeast of town, Robertson Boulevard, or the Avenue 24 exit off Highway 99.
Questions we hear
Do you come out to Chowchilla?
Yes. The first post office at Chowchilla opened in 1912, and the city incorporated eleven years later, on February 7, 1923. Highway 99 brings the rig right past town, and Robertson Boulevard leads straight in. Call or text and we'll set a time.
Can you repair hay and livestock equipment near Chowchilla?
Yes. Bale squeeze arms, cracked livestock trailer floors, broken squeeze chute frames and worn hay rake wheel arms get welded right at the ranch. Send a photo and the location and we'll plan the trip.
Do you also cover Dairyland?
Yes. Dairyland is one of the rural communities near Chowchilla, and a job out there works into 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 Chowchilla?
Send a photo and the cross street, and the rig comes down Highway 99 to Robertson Boulevard.
