Pacific Avenue and the boardwalk
By the 1860s, Pacific Avenue had become the main street of downtown Santa Cruz, and the original main street is now North Branciforte Avenue. The Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk is California's oldest amusement park and a designated State Historic Landmark, and the Santa Cruz Wharf is known for fishing and viewing marine mammals. Boat trailers, surf racks and work truck bumpers 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: the Looff Carousel, the lighthouse near Steamer Lane, Ocean Street, or the San Lorenzo River.
Questions we hear
Do you come out to Santa Cruz?
Yes. Santa Cruz is Spanish for Holy Cross, and the city became a charter city in 1876. Highway 17 brings the rig over the mountains from San Jose. Call or text and we'll set a time.
Can you weld a surf rack, boat trailer or truck bumper in Santa Cruz?
Yes. A cracked bunk bracket, a bent surf rack upright, a broken bumper mount and a worn receiver hitch get welded at the curb or the driveway. Send a photo and the address and we'll plan the trip.
Do you also cover Live Oak?
Yes. Live Oak lies between the cities of Santa Cruz and Capitola, so a Live Oak job 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 Santa Cruz?
Downtown, beach or the hills, text the address, and the rig rolls down Highway 17 to Highway 1.
