Mobile Welding in Watsonville, CA
Watsonville is in the Monterey Bay area, at the southern end of Santa Cruz County, where a system of fresh water sloughs extends from the city. John H. Watson and D. S. Gregory laid out the town in 1852, and it was incorporated as the Town of Watsonville in 1868. The rig crosses the valley from the foothills for repairs and fabrication at farms, ranches, shops and jobsites across Watsonville.
Covering Watsonville on Highways 129 and 152
Highway 152 begins near Highway 1 as local streets through downtown Watsonville and runs through Hecker Pass to Gilroy. Highway 129 heads northeast into town along Riverside Road and roughly parallels the Pajaro River on its way to US 101.

River of the Bird
The Pajaro River keeps an old story in its name, Rio del Pajaro, the River of the Bird. Crops fundamental to the economy include strawberries, cauliflower and lettuce, and the Santa Cruz County Fairgrounds host a number of events. Tractor toolbars, harvest carts and flatbed trailers 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 City Plaza, the Mansion House Hotel, Pinto Lake, or the trailheads along the Pajaro River.
Questions we hear
Do you come out to Watsonville?
Yes. Watsonville maintains 28 parks, and the Castro Adobe was the only two-story hacienda in the area at the time it was built. Highway 152 brings the rig over Hecker Pass from Gilroy. Call or text and we'll set a time.
Can you weld berry field carts or tractor toolbars in Watsonville?
Yes. A cracked harvest cart frame, a broken toolbar clamp, a bent flatbed stake pocket and a split hitch tongue get welded at the field or the yard. Send a photo and the location and we'll plan the trip.
Do you also cover Santa Cruz?
Yes. The Highway 1 freeway runs up the Monterey Bay coast from Watsonville to Highway 17 in Santa Cruz, so a Santa Cruz job is on the same road.
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 Watsonville?
Field, ranch or downtown shop, send us the spot, and the rig crosses Hecker Pass on Highway 152.
