Mobile Welding in Los Banos, CA
Los Banos sits on the west side of the San Joaquin Valley, 26 miles southwest of Merced, with the San Luis Reservoir and the Diablo Range farther west. The name comes from a spring that feeds natural wetlands in the western valley, and some signs in town spell it Los Baños. The rig comes down the hill for repairs and fabrication at ranches, farms, yards and homes around the city.
Covering Los Banos and Pacheco Boulevard
Down Highway 99 to Turlock, then south on Highway 165 through Hilmar and across the San Joaquin River into Los Banos, which sits at the junction of Highway 165 and Highway 152. Through town, Highway 152 becomes Pacheco Boulevard, and Interstate 5 runs 7 miles to the west.

Henry Miller country
The centerpiece of downtown is Henry Miller Plaza, honoring the early California rancher who, in the late 19th century, was the largest landowner in the United States, with a bronze of Miller and his cattle. The Merced and San Joaquin River national wildlife refuges are nearby. Stock trailers, ranch equipment and farm machinery 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: Henry Miller Plaza, Los Banos Municipal Airport, the Canal Farm Inn on Pacheco Boulevard, or your exit off Interstate 5.
Questions we hear
Do you come out to Los Banos?
Yes. Uriah Wood built a two-room cabin here in 1859 as the first Anglo-American settler, and when the railroad arrived, the town moved to its present site. Los Banos incorporated on May 8, 1907. Highway 165 brings the rig straight down from Turlock. Call or text and we'll set a time.
Can you repair farm equipment around Los Banos?
Yes. Worn tillage shanks, cracked spray rig frames, broken bale wagon tongues and torn tractor drawbar plates get welded right at the ranch or in the field. Send a photo and the location and we'll plan the trip.
Do you also cover Santa Nella?
Yes. West of town, Highway 33 turns north to Santa Nella by Interstate 5, 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 Los Banos?
Send the job and the location, and the rig runs Highway 165 south to Los Banos.
