Mobile Welding in Lodi, CA
Lodi sits in the center portion of California's Central Valley, on flat ground about 50 feet above sea level, close enough to the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta that summer nights usually dip into the fifties. Grapevines surround the town on every side. The rig comes down the hill for repairs and fabrication at vineyards, yards, homes and jobsites across Lodi.
Covering Lodi and Kettleman Lane
Down Highway 49 to San Andreas, then west on Highway 12 out of the Sierra foothills, through its brief merge with Highway 99, and along Kettleman Lane, the wide four-lane business route through town. Cherokee Lane carries the original Highway 99 route, and Interstate 5 runs west of Lodi.

Wine country
Lodi and its surroundings are well known for growing grapes and making wine, and winegrape culture runs so deep that the police cars carry painted grape bunches. Wine Enthusiast named Lodi its Wine Region of the Year in 2015. Vineyard trailers, tractor implements and yard equipment get repaired right in the rows or the shop yard, because the rig carries engine-drive welding power, wire feeders, an oxy-acetylene torch and a plasma cutter.
For directions, a landmark helps: Lodi Lake, the Lodi Transit Station, the corner of Kettleman Lane and Cherokee Lane, or your exit off Highway 99.
Questions we hear
Do you come out to Lodi?
Yes. The town was first called Mokelumne and Mokelumne Station, after the nearby Mokelumne River, until confusion with other towns prompted a new name. Voters incorporated Lodi in 1906, by a margin of 2 to 1. Highway 12 brings the rig in along Kettleman Lane. Call or text with the job and the location and we'll set a time.
Can you repair vineyard equipment near Lodi?
Yes. Early industries in Lodi included a sawmill, a flour mill, vineyards, orchards and cattle ranching. Broken trailer tongues, cracked implement frames and worn hitch points get welded right where they sit. Send a photo and the location and we'll plan the trip.
Do you also cover Woodbridge and Galt?
Yes. Woodbridge and Galt are both close by, and early settlers came into Lodi from each of them, so work in either one 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 Lodi?
Out in the vines or back at the shop, text the job and the rig rolls in on Highway 12.
