Most welding shops show you three photos and a stock image of sparks. The reason this page is long is that the work is the argument. If you are deciding whether a cracked wheel or a rotted trailing arm mount is worth repairing, seeing thirty of them repaired is more useful than any paragraph we could write.
Everything here was done by Rashaad at 12212 Corlett Ave or on site with the mobile rig. The captions describe what is actually in the frame rather than what would sound best, and where a photo is a work in progress rather than a finished job it says so.
Cracked and bent alloy wheels are the most common job through this shop. The welds below run along inner barrels and spoke faces, which is where wheels crack when a pothole finds them. Every one of these was quoted as a replacement wheel somewhere else first.
Frame rails and structural members rotted by road salt, cut back to sound steel and plated with new metal. This is the work that most Cleveland shops decline, and it is why people end up here after being told a vehicle is finished.
Shock towers, spring seats and trailing arm mounts. These are boxed sections that trap salt water against bare metal all winter, so they rot from the inside and fail without warning over a pothole.
Floor pans, wheel tubs and rusted panels cut out and replaced with fabricated steel. Patch panels get shaped to the original contour rather than bent from flat stock, which is the difference between a repair that disappears and one you can find with your eyes closed.
One off parts, brackets, gates and posts made because the part did not exist, was discontinued, or was not strong enough for what it was carrying.
Trailer frames, decks and equipment structures. Fleet and owner operator work where the trailer sitting is costing more than the repair.
Vintage panels and arches taken back to bare metal, repaired and shaped so the body line carries straight through the repair. Metal stage only, finished ready for paint.
Yes. Every photo on this page was taken at the shop on Corlett Ave or on a mobile job, and it is all work Rashaad did himself. Nothing here is stock photography and nothing here is somebody else's job.
Yes. Call or text 216.309.1567 and say what you are looking at. There are several hundred more photos than fit on this page, so if you want to see a repair like yours before booking, ask.
Usually, and you are welcome to say no. If a vehicle or a project is one you would rather not see online, tell us at drop off and it stays off.
For some jobs, yes. We only present two photos as a before and after when they are confirmed to be the same vehicle, because two similar looking trucks are not evidence of anything.
Most quotes come back the same day the shop is open. Free, no obligation, and if it cannot be repaired you will hear that straight.
