Mobile Welding in Grass Valley, CA
Grass Valley sits at roughly 2,500 feet in the western Sierra Nevada foothills, 57 miles by car from Sacramento and 88 miles west of Reno. First known as Boston Ravine and later as Centerville, it grew after gold was found at Gold Hill in October 1850, and it counted 14,016 people at the 2020 census. The rig runs the foothills from Sonora for repairs and fabrication at ranches, shops, homes and jobsites around Grass Valley.
Covering Grass Valley on Highways 49, 20 and 174
Highway 49 becomes a freeway entering Grass Valley and joins Highway 20 on the Golden Center Freeway. Highway 174 comes up from Interstate 80 in Colfax, crossing the Bear River beside a 1924 concrete arch bridge, and ends at Highways 20 and 49 in town.

Home of two great gold mines
Grass Valley has the Empire Mine and the North Star Mine, two of California's richest, and the Empire Mine's manager and owner donated mine land that became Memorial Park. The town still keeps its Cornish heritage with an annual Cornish Christmas and St. Piran's Day. Ranch trailers, mini excavators and tractor implements get welded on site, because the rig carries engine-drive welding power, wire feeders, an oxy-acetylene torch and a plasma cutter.
For directions, name a nearby landmark: Empire Mine State Historic Park, the Holbrooke Hotel, the North Star Mine Powerhouse, or the Home of Lola Montez.
Questions we hear
Do you come out to Grass Valley?
Yes. A post office opened in 1851, and the town took the name Grass Valley the following year. Gold Hill was one of the first discoveries of quartz gold in California. Highway 49 brings the rig into town. Call or text and we'll set a time.
Can you weld a mini excavator bucket or ranch trailer in Grass Valley?
Yes. A cracked mini excavator bucket, a worn thumb pin boss, a broken ranch trailer ramp and a bent tractor box blade get welded at the property. Send a photo and the address and we'll plan the trip.
Do you also cover Nevada City?
Yes. The Golden Center Freeway has linked Grass Valley with Nevada City since the late 1960s, so the county seat is a few minutes up the road.
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 Grass Valley?
Mine country ranch or downtown shop, a photo and an address put the rig on Highway 49.
