Mobile Welding in Hollister, CA
Hollister is the county seat of San Benito County, in the Central Coast region of California, and sits on the western foothills of the Diablo Range. The town was founded on November 19, 1868, by William Welles Hollister on the grounds of the former Mexican land grant Rancho San Justo, and incorporated in 1872. The rig crosses the valley from the foothills for repairs and fabrication at ranches, farms, homes and jobsites across Hollister.

Apricots, olives and a creeping fault
Hollister is known for its Blenheim apricots, olive oil, vineyards and pomegranates. The Calaveras Fault, a branch of the San Andreas Fault system, bisects the city north and south, roughly along Locust Avenue and Powell Street. Orchard trailers, ranch implements and stock trailers 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: San Benito Street downtown, Hollister Municipal Airport, or the road south toward the Hollister Hills.
Questions we hear
Do you come out to Hollister?
Yes. The area of modern-day Hollister was historically inhabited by the Mutsun band of the Ohlone, and the town grew on the old Rancho San Justo. Highway 152 brings the rig over Pacheco Pass. Call or text and we'll set a time.
Can you repair an orchard trailer or squeeze chute in Hollister?
Yes. A cracked stock trailer crossmember, a bent orchard trailer tongue, a broken squeeze chute hinge and a worn tractor drawbar get welded on the ranch. Send a photo and the location and we'll plan the trip.
Do you also cover San Juan Bautista?
Yes. San Juan Bautista sits on Highway 156 between US 101 and Hollister, so a job there 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 Hollister?
Ranch, orchard or San Benito Street, send a photo, and the rig comes over Pacheco Pass on Highway 152.
