Drake Welding - Finished product. Thanks Drake Welding for the custom work to my ford 9" rear end - Metal Fabricators Near Me - Campbell, California

Dake Welding has become our to go place when we have welding needs. They do large projects also, but we have used them for repairs. The first time a L-shaped steel bracket on a larger mower twisted and tore. I took the part in and they had it fixed by the next morning. They seem to understand that small businesses need to get broken items fixed and back in service quickly. Since then, we have used them several times. Yesterday, they stopped what they were doing, did an onsite repair to the mower, and had us out within 30 minutes. Chris is a great help. And their prices are fair. read more

Expert experience, solid methods. I would recommend anyone to Drake. Complete understand of current means and methods to tackle any complex project. read more

The weld had broken loose at the base of the cylinder on my metal stool. I took it in to Drake Welding they repaired it right there. I appreciate the attention they gave to my small job. In fact, the owner, Joe, is the one who did the work for me. He also had me first remove the cylinder mechanism because he was concerned the heat from the welding would damage it. The stool works great now. read more

I brought them a small stainless steel job which required mitering, welding and cleaning. I needed to make up a dog protector for a large sliding screen door (see pic). The work was done quickly and well. The two folks I dealt with (one over the phone and the other in person) to explain and execute my order were friendly. Here's why I only give it 4 stars - the person in the office I dealt with (I inferred she is part of the family which owns the place) for payment etc was chatty but she made it clear she didn't like how little I was charged for the work. Rather than keeping this to herself and taking it up with her staff, she decided to vent to me, the customer. This was not a good idea and it left me feeling awkward. Had she kept this to herself, I would have left 100% happy instead of 90% happy. That said, I'll be back. They were easy to deal with and did nice work. read more

They really saved my day! This is my first day moving to the new house but I met the problem for assembling my bed due to the deformation of one big component. However the replacement would take couple of days. So I searched around on yelp and found the Drake welding finally. They fixed it just by couple of minutes. It's so amazing! read more

My ladder rack broke last year and I've used their service to get it fixed for 80 bucks. It recently broke again and they were asking for 140 bucks. I've explained that I got it fixed for 80 bucks at their place and would like to fix it for the same price. They started yelling and threatening me to call the police; Very unprofessional, rude, overpriced, and ill-mannered. I recently saw a similar review regarding a rack. I believe they have no clue how to fix a rack nor charge a reasonable price. Would never come back read more

I needed some brackets made for a truck mounted water tank. It was a small job but they had no problem taking it on. They knocked it fast and did a great job. I highly recommend them. read more

Needed some brackets welded onto a car part. Called late in the day and spoke to Sue who asked me to send an email with some pics and a scope of work. Got a response back first thing in the morning confirming they can do the work. Went in and spoke to Don who was very observant and detail oriented. He gave me an estimate and told me to come back in an hour to pick up the part. He gave me a call in 50 minutes telling me my part was done, and ready for pick up, and even better news the project didn't take as long as expected and charged me less than he quoted which was a fair price. The work required precise alignment of brackets which were welded on, and the job came out absolutely perfect. Very nice, precise clean welds. Great friendly customer service, and a very good experience. read more

Based on my experience, I'll save prospective customers and Drake some time. This is NOT a welding/fabrication shop to approach with small jobs. I prepared an isometric drawing that was fully dimensioned and provided it to Drake. I needed 4 parts made. It was made very clear, meaning, directly told to me that Drake has plenty of work to do and that my small job was not of interest. As a consumer, I found the tone of the discussion to be downright disrespectful. Me: "I understand that you don't want to make these parts. Do you know any shops that can?" Drake: "Yeah, me! The problem is that I need to make these parts out of three pieces because of the 5 inch dimension. That's not a stock size" Me: "OK, what if we go to the next smallest stock size? What if I get the material?" Drake: "Listen, I don't mean to be rude but I'm not your guy. I have lots of other work to get to." Click! He hung up. When I encounter a company with an attitude like that, I think about the people who are hungry for customers and I think about how some people can be arrogant and disrespectful when they have ability - instead of being good people even when it's not ringing a cash register. Drake Welding - here's a motto: "Drake, I have lots of other work to get to - now what do YOU need?" read more

They were not able to help me with the job for me but took the time to give me some suggestions to repair what I had. Very nice to talk to. It appeard their shop was well equipped. read more

Quality work. Fast Turn-around. Great price. Friendly service. I went to Drake for some needed mods on a tow hitch extension. I was looking for completion the next day. The staff was friendly and knowledgable. The crew did great work, got it done on time and did it in a quality manner. I am very pleased with the results and overall experience with them. read more

I took my truck to Drake Welding to get a custom designed truck rack built. I provided the design. Don at Drake reviewed the design and suggested modifications. Working together we came up with a modified design which was better. Then Drake built the rack to the design specifications. The rack is perfect, thanks to Drake Welding and Don. As to the workload, I too had read in previous reviews that Drake Welding has more work than they can handle. However, I consider that a symptom of good work well done, in contrast to bad attitude. read more

A crack had developed in the center stand of my scooter, and there was room for improvement by adding some additional welds. I called to see if I could get the center stand welded, and Don said to bring it over. Don said he would fix the crack and also said he would do the additional welds to strengthen the center stand. The cost was very reasonable, and Don did an excellent job repairing and reinforcing the center stand. read more

Drake Welding to the rescue again! The team did a great job forging an iron handrail for me several years ago. Last week, the manager fabricated several tiny spring clips for my GE monogram range hood. These guys are amazing! read more

I have a squat rack for my home gym in my garage but I needed two side safety bars (hard to explain but bare with me), which led me to Drake Welding. The two safety bars I originally had were not long enough so I needed more length. Upon arriving, I was politely greeted by Don, who I believe is the owner. He was very courteous and gave me an exact quote. 115 per hour for labor, plus materials etc. The total cost would be anywhere between 450-785 or something of that nature. Now I'm always a bit cautious b/c you will never know how long a project will take. That being said, Don called me a few days later and told me he found a better way to make the safety bars, which will cut down on the labor rate. He didn't promise me anything but said he would try his best. A week later and he calls and it's ready. The entire cost was 345, much lower than his original quote. He could have easily lied, did the job the hard way and charge me more but he did an honest and good job and for that, I commend him and his fellow workers. I highly recommend this place for all your welding needs. I may need some additional things for my home gym and if so, I will not hesitate to come here again. Job well done. read more

Somebody knocked over our aluminum mailbox. I called Drake the next morning and they said to bring it in. A few hours later, my mailbox was welded back together. A+ service, quality, and turnaround time. I'll use them again if I need anything welded. read more

Good personal service, finished the job on time, and reasonable prices. I recommend Drake Welding.

I have a small inflatable boat with two welding joints recently broken off under the seat. It is a small job, but Don is quick to respond to my email request, and ask me to bring in my boat to provide a quote and fix it right away. His staff is friendly and professional. The charge is very reasonable. read more

I'm a contractor in the South Bay area and Drake Welding has made my truck racks and all my metal fabrication work over the past 20 years. Just recently I needed some very specific engineered steal posts for one of my projects and called Drake to see if they had them. They didn't stock the posts but ordered them and I got them the next day. Thanks Drake for your fast turn around, and keeping my job moving. See you next time. read more

I left a message after hours for Drake Welding to see if they could help me with a very small job, fixing a bolt on my son's baby seat carrier. Before 8am the next morning Susan called me to say "of course they could help, just come on over". Within 5 minutes of arriving Don had the job done. Thanks for taking care of us so quickly and professionally. Definitely coming back when I need another welding job. Cheers! read more

I recently purchased a Healthrider aerobic fitness machine in which the handle bar broke and needed to be welded. I was pleasantly surprised at how friendly, professional, and accommodating Drake Welding were and EXTREMELY fair in price. I would recommend to everyone. read more

For me, 5 stars is a pretty damn good review reserved for truly excellent companies. I brought my travel trailer in to get a couple of brackets welded onto the frame. The owner of the company backed the trailer in for me like a pro (I was a little reluctant as it was a thread the needle type of long backup job). They did the work very quickly and right. And the icing on the cake - the owner charged me less than he quoted on the phone because he said he finished it quicker than expected. Will take any welding in future to Drake without a moments hesitation. read more

They fixed our mailbox and our table perfectly! The service was fast, friendly and efficient. The workmanship was superb and the people are accommodating. A great company! read more

Had to do a custom stainless steel project on my boat. Brought some plates over to these guys based on a friend's recommendation and they bent and cut the plates for me just as I described.

Drake is great, Emanuel is the man! I had a very unique project to build a hitch mounted box with a bike rack attached. It took a bit too complete as we were both busy, but Emanuel stuck with it (small job)and it turned out amazing. I recommend these guys highly! read more

Mike Chism, the owner of Drake's Welding, is the best! He went above and beyond the call of duty to make sure I was pleased with my metal handrail. He gave expert advice, a really fair price, and great service. I highly recommend Drake Welding. read more

I had a 2" square trailer hitch that I needed shortened. I assumed it would need to be cut with a welding torch. The first place I called said they would have to call me back (they never did). I called Drake Welding and was told to "come on down". I did, and they looked at my hitch and said they could cut it more easily with their band saw. This they did, while I waited and charged me $10! A great company. Highly recommended. read more

Drake Welding was very friendly and easy to work with. They have done a couple welding jobs for me and I would recommend them over and over. Quality work done on time. read more

I went to Drake Welding after doing research about welding shops in my area. Drake welding seemed to have the best reviews so I decided to give them a shot. I needed some sub-frame reinforcements welded in for my car and after getting my sub-frame back I am extremely pleased with their work. I am by no means an expert on welding, but I do know enough about it to recognize a good weld when I see one and all of the new welds on my sub-frame look great. I can't wait to get this installed and I will have no worries about the quality or strength of the welds when driving my car. Best of all, the prices were great and the customer service was perfect; the people I spoke with when getting an estimate, dropping off, and picking up my sub-frame were extremely nice and I enjoyed talking to them. I will be going back to Drake Welding any time I need something welded and I will be suggesting them to all of my friends. read more
