Mobile Welding in Oakhurst, CA
Oakhurst lies in the Sierra Nevada foothills about 14 miles south of the southern entrance to Yosemite National Park, at the junction of Highway 41 and Highway 49. It sits along the Fresno River at an elevation of 2,274 feet, and at the 2020 census it counted 5,945 people. The rig runs the foothills from Sonora for repairs and fabrication at homes, ranches, shops and jobsites around Oakhurst.
Where Highway 49 meets Highway 41
Highway 49 has its southern end at Highway 41 in Oakhurst and connects to Mariposa. Highway 41 links Oakhurst to Fresno and Yosemite, and the Talking Bear, a fiberglass grizzly installed in 1965, stands where Highway 41 meets Road 426.

From Fresno Flats to Oakhurst
Oakhurst began in 1858 as Fresno Flats, named for the Spanish word for ash tree and the flat meadowlands around it, and an Act of Congress renamed it Oakhurst in 1912. A post office opened in 1873, and the next year a log flume along the Fresno River started the local timber industry. Horse trailers, ranch implements and utility trailers get welded on site, since the rig brings engine-drive welding power, wire feeders, an oxy-acetylene torch and a plasma cutter.
To help us find you, name a nearby point: the Talking Bear at Highway 41 and Road 426, Fresno Flats Historical Village and Park, or the Little Church on the Hill.
Questions we hear
Do you come out to Oakhurst?
Yes. Fresno Flats Historical Village and Park keeps 19th-century buildings like the 1869 Taylor Log House, and Sierra Mountaineer Days was first held here in 1964. Highway 49 brings the rig in from Mariposa. Call or text and we'll set a time.
Can you weld a horse trailer or hay feeder on an Oakhurst ranch?
Yes. A cracked trailer divider, a broken hay feeder bar or a bent implement hitch gets welded where it stands. Text a photo and the address and we'll plan the trip.
Do you also cover Coarsegold?
Yes. Coarsegold, Madera County's last surviving gold town, lies about 8 miles down Highway 41, so the two share a 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 Oakhurst?
Ranch, cabin or shop below Yosemite, text a photo, and we will line up a visit.
