Mobile Welding in Merced, CA
Merced is named after the Merced River, which flows nearby, and it is known as the Gateway to Yosemite, less than two hours by car from the park. It is the county seat of Merced County. The rig comes down the hill for repairs and fabrication at farms, yards, homes and jobsites across the city.
Covering Merced and the All-Year Highway
Down Highway 140 from Mariposa, through Catheys Valley and Planada, into Merced, where it overlaps Highway 99 for a few miles. Highway 59 leaves the freeway on the west side of the city and runs north as the Snelling Highway, and Highway 99 Business follows 16th Street through town.

Air base and farm town
Merced's economy has long relied on agribusiness and on Castle Air Force Base, which closed in September 1995 and is now the Castle Airport Aviation and Development Center. Since 2005 the city has also been home to the University of California, Merced, and industrial development is increasing in the area. Farm equipment, 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: Applegate Park, Bear Creek, Lake Yosemite, the Castle Air Museum, or your exit off Highway 99.
Questions we hear
Do you come out to Merced?
Yes. The first Merced post office opened in 1870, the city incorporated on April 1, 1889, and the Yosemite Valley Railroad ran from Merced between 1907 and 1945. Highway 140 brings the rig down through Catheys Valley and straight into town. Call or text and we'll set a time.
Can you repair farm equipment in Merced County?
Yes. Merced ranks as the sixth-top producing county in California, and bent sprayer booms, cracked trailer tongues, worn tillage tools and broken loader brackets get welded right in the field. Send a photo and the location and we'll plan the trip.
Do you also cover Atwater?
Yes. Atwater sits 8 miles west-northwest of Merced on Highway 99, 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 Merced?
Field, yard or garage, text the job and the rig takes the All-Year Highway into Merced.
