Mission town and county seat
San Rafael has been the seat of Marin County since April 25, 1851, and the community incorporated as a city in 1874. The San Francisco and North Pacific Railroad reached San Rafael in 1879, and San Rafael Creek and Miller Creek run through its riparian corridors. Boat trailers, work truck racks and shop carts 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: China Camp State Park, McNear's Beach Park, the Gerstle Park neighborhood south of First Street, or the San Rafael Transit Center at 3rd and Hetherton Streets.
Questions we hear
Do you come out to San Rafael?
Yes. San Rafael was once the site of several Coast Miwok villages, and in part because of its ideal weather it was upgraded to full mission status in 1822. Interstate 580 brings the rig across the bay. Call or text and we'll set a time.
Is there a trailer or truck part in San Rafael you can weld on the spot?
Yes. A corroded boat trailer winch post, a cracked dump trailer hinge, a bent service body bumper and a snapped lumber rack crossbar get welded where they're parked. Send a photo and the street and we'll plan the trip.
Do you also cover Santa Venetia?
Yes. North of downtown San Rafael, US 101 passes the Marin County Civic Center in Santa Venetia.
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 San Rafael?
Tell us the street and the trouble. The rig crosses the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge on Interstate 580.
