Welding is the primary trade here, and most of what comes through the door is a repair rather than a build. A cracked alloy rim, a trailing arm mount that rusted through, an exhaust joint that let go, a bracket that snapped off a work truck. In almost every one of those cases the part can be repaired for less than the replacement costs, and that is the call we make before any work starts.
The shop is a one welder operation. Rashaad writes the quote, does the weld and hands the vehicle back. There is no service writer in the middle, so the person who tells you what it needs is the person holding the torch. That matters most on the jobs where the honest answer is that a part is past saving, because there is nobody here whose job is to sell you a repair that will not hold.
Cracks, broken mounts and structural damage on cars and light trucks. The process gets picked for the metal and the position, not for convenience, because a weld on a suspension mount and a weld on a body panel are not the same job. Everything gets dressed and coated so the repair does not become next winter's rust.
Cracked and bent alloy and steel wheels. Controlled heat so the alloy does not warp, then truing and finishing so the wheel runs round and holds air. For most Cleveland drivers this is a fraction of what a replacement wheel costs.
Cracked, bent and curbed alloy wheels repaired rather than replaced. Cracks welded with controlled heat so the alloy keeps its strength, bent rims straightened and checked for runout, faces refinished.
Frame rails, trailing arm mounts and shock towers eaten by road salt. Rot gets cut back to clean steel, new plate is fabricated and welded in, then reinforced and sealed. This is the work most shops in Cleveland decline.
Leaks, rattles, broken hangers and converter flanges. We weld and refit the section that failed, or fabricate a new one when the stock part does not fit or is not worth buying. Most exhaust repair goes out the same day.
Rusted metal cut out and replaced with patch panels shaped to the original contour, welded, dressed smooth and treated. Rockers, floor pans, cab corners, bed sides and wheel arches.
When the thing that broke cannot be driven to Corlett Ave, the welder comes to it. Trailers, gates, railings, equipment and structural fixes across Cleveland and the east side. Scheduling is built around getting you running again rather than around a route.
TIG welding on aluminum wheels, brackets, tanks, trailer components and body panels. Aluminum needs cleaner prep and tighter heat control than steel, which is why most general shops will not take it on.
Trailer frames, tongues, ramps, cross members and ICC bumpers repaired and reinforced. DOT bumper work, fifth wheel repairs and fleet welding, at the shop or on site.
Buckets, blades, booms, frames and mounting points on machinery that cannot afford to sit. Stick and MIG on heavy section steel, mobile where the machine is.
Brackets, mounts, guards and one off parts in steel, stainless or aluminum, made when the part you need is discontinued, overpriced or never existed.
MIG, TIG and stick. MIG handles most body and frame steel, TIG is what aluminum and thin stainless get, and stick is what goes on the truck for mobile work and heavy sections. The process is chosen for the metal and the position rather than for speed.
Yes. Aluminum wheels, brackets, tanks, trailer components and body panels. Aluminum needs cleaner prep and tighter heat control than steel, which is why a lot of general shops will not take it on.
Yes, and it happens regularly. A wheel cracked through the barrel in more than one place, or a frame section with nothing solid left to weld to, gets that answer straight. Putting a bad repair back on the road is not worth the sale.
Welding work the shop takes on, from a single cracked bracket to structural steel.
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.
