I would give East Bay Welding Supply 10 stars if I could!!! Have you ever wished that you could get in a Time Machine and go back 20 years? Imagine being able to deal with a company that actually cared about their customers ?!??! Well, I have great news for you!!! No need for Doc, Marty McCfly or the DeLorean!!! Just go to East Bay Welding Supply, where you will be treated the way customers should!!! Let's take a step back... To be honest, I am a simpleton when it comes to welding. Other companies may have seen me as a target or mark... not East Bay Welding Supply!.!.! It seemed as though they saw an opportunity to build knowledge in their community and teach another person how to accell in their field! I could not be more impressed with the staff at this company and I'm sure it started at the top! I had an opportunity to meet the owner and I was amazed by the type of down to earth person that he was. No hidden agenda no bul*lsh*t just a solid person with old school values! Wether you are a welder or a business owner I urge you to go spend some time and some money at this establishment, as we need to support our community and the A+ businesses that operate in it.

Thank you, Rick and East Bay Welding Supply!!! read more

Great experience at both the Martinez and the Antioch location. knowledgeable staff! Helped me find exactly what I was looking for.

I don't know much about welding, actually I don't anything about welding but I needed some welding supplies for my work, I spoke to ken and he was very helpful, he even took the time to come out to my truck and look at my equipment to make sure it was set up properly. Ken and the other staff there all head great customer service and were very patient with all my questions. I'm not sure if this is a family owners business but it definitely felt like it like I said the service was amazing and I'm just happy they're still places like this around. read more

East Bay Welding Supply - O-Ring - Building Supplies Near Me - Martinez, California

What can I say, one of the last independently owned welding supply store. The customer service is superior than most any other business I've been to. I came in today to upgrade a CO2 tank and the staff was very helpful and supportive. Their knowledge is awesome, one of the employees did not have an answer, he went and made a phone call and got the right answer. I really hope they don't sell to any crazy big company that takes away the freedom this company has. Customer for life as long as I stay in Contra Costa County. read more

SUMMARY: they had what I needed at a fair price. Friendly staff too. Way cheaper than those con artists at Airgas. Only con is that they're not open on the weekends. BACKGROUND: I needed more welding gas for a project and I had a work from home day, so went in during my lunch hour. SHOP This shop is located in Martinez and easily found right off the freeway. I just needed some welding gas for a bumper project. The transaction was pretty quick. Since my tank was old and hadn't been tested, they charged me a $25 tank swap fee, but I was ok with it because I got a new tested tank. The gas cost for a 105 cu tank was only a hair above $50. OTHER Owner had a friendly large dog. read more

Talk about a hidden gem! I needed mixed gas for my new mig welder. I called airgas and was kind of taken aback by the prices as well as the upsell to buy a bigger bottle then i needed. With a not so good felling I decided to look around and little did I know there is an awesome welding shop just a couple miles from my house! Not only were the prices waaay cheaper but the place is stocked with every welding related tool and accessory imaginable. As an added bonus the guys working their were knowledgeable and friendly and walked me through each bottle size and explained the pro/cons. In the end I saved over 40% of airgas and found an awesome place to buy my welding needs- whether, mig, tig, stick, or oxyacetylene. Pay them a visit and you'll be impressed! read more

My husband is a self taught welder and is very good at what he does. I used to work around the corner from this place and one year for my honeys birf day I got him some new welding gloves and protective glasses. Since he welded one of the fingers of his old gloves at a 90 degree angle, it was time for him to get some new gloves. I got him the heavy duty leather ones and some lighter fare for grinding and lighter type metal work. I also bought us some really cool purple earplugs. Some for his garage and some for home just in case we go to a concert or something. Some how the batch of ear plugs I bought last year are all missing. So I had to come back and buy some more because of the Metal concert we were going to the following weekend. I had ordered some vintage looking welding goggles in February and they never called to let me know they came in. That's fine, its not like I'm not going to shop here again. Its very obvious that women don't come in here very often. Its cramped and dusty and definitely a Man's Man kind of place. Except for the way ward cat that follows you around while perusing. Its so sweet. Ill be doing more Christmas shopping later this year. read more

1st time here, referred to by a retired Iron Worker. So glad I took his advice. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Tyler assisted me with a tool list from school. Tyler took the initiative to help me out. Very professional and thorough. Best believe this will be my go to supply store going forward. read more

These folks run the business like it was in the old days . Great service, pleasant to be around and if something is out of stock , they tell you . Everyone in there is smiling, customers and staff . The other guys in the same business could take some pointers , I'll never use them , East Bay IS and will be my go to read more

Sadly, they stopped filling co2. Only a swap now. If you have a nice shiny tank and don't want to swap for a POS. This is no longer the place. Looks like I'll need to find another place for filling. read more

These guys are great, the staff members knowledgeable helpful and super friendly. Great prices even when compared to online prices. Highly recommend. read more

These guys are the BEST!!! Great prices, always more than helpful, and they go the extra mile for you when you need something that they may not stock read more

These guys are the best in customer-service and pricing!!! I dropped off an empty 125cf bottle outside and went in to pay for a refilled swap. Was in and out in less than 5-minutes! Came outside to find that they can't swap my cylinder because I had "rented" or "leased" it from the other larger monopolistic corporate outfit. They promptly refunded my money without any hassles. I'm going to return my empty tank to the "corporation" outfit and get my deposit back. Then go to East Bay Welding Supply to buy one of their bottle and go only to them for refills! read more

Super friendly and well connected group of folks. Came here for some cutting supplies and they threw in the labor! Wow! They also recommended a cheap, high quality welder. read more

This place is run by a father & son team (I think). They are nice, friendly, and knowledgeable. The prices are a tad high (like every welding supply in the area). But overall, I have no complaints and a lot of praise for them. Like Ivy R said, they are not the cleanest nor the most female friendly welding shop on planet earth. Bottom line: A solid 3 stars. read more

These guys are awesome, father son owners, Chris and Joe, go out of their way to insure you're satisfaction. They are soooooo much better than "The Other" corporate welding supply place in Concord. Their prices are very competitive and they cram more stuff into their little show room, truly 10 pounds of sugar in a 5 pound bag... everything conceivable that could be related to welding. They are also the most competitive supplier for propane I've found. I don't do aluminum and when I needed a Tig repair they referred me to an awesome dude in Martinez that did me up at a super fair price. I wouldn't go anywhere else! read more

You can always appreciate the generosity of others, especially when they are the experts in something you know nothing about. I recently reached out to East Bay Welding Supply as I've had a broken attic fan vent slat that I was hoping to repair instead of having to replace the entire vent. The amazing guys there took time out of their schedule to create an innovative solution as the piece was too thin to just weld back together. I really appreciate them and would absolutely go back for any other welding needs. read more

This place is a good place to go for your welding supply's. Costumer serves is alway good here and if they don't stock it they will get it. Prices are pretty good. read more

Best Welding Supply I've ever been in!!!!!! It's like a thrift store for welders. The the guys behind the counter are super cool and if they ain't got it they will order it for you!!!!!!! Air gas sucks ass I only go to Eastbay!!!! read more

I had a very positive experience with this store. My father who is 97 broke his leg brace. The aluminum plate/rod that was attached to the knee hinge area had snapped creating the need to weld a 1 inch wide length of metal. Since the brace was an old custom model, there was no easy answer as to who could repair this without going to several welding shops. I stopped in this welding supply store thinking they could point me in the right direction. Upon entering, the men at the counter stopped what they were doing and viewed the picture of the metal break I took on my phone. They immediately knew who could fix it, called Chappa Welding to see if Danny the owner would do it and gave me the address, phone number and directions to this welder on Howe in Martinez. Danny at Chappa Welder was able to fix the brace overnight for a very reasonable fee. Without East Bay Welding Supplies expertise and contacts, this would have been a very expensive and lengthy process to get this fixed. Excellent service for a customer who only came in to ask a question!!! I am so appreciative of their help! read more

I've been doing business with the guys at East Bay Welding Supply for as long as I can remember, and before that my dad did business with them as well. Based on my experiences I don't plan on taking my needs anywhere else. The guys who run the shop are some of the nicest, most knowledgeable and generous people I've had the pleasure of working with. Even on a very busy day I've never met a sour attitude or been turned away even if I just needed some advice. The bottom line is; if you need it, they have it or can get it fast. If you broke it, they can fix it. If you have questions, they surely have the answers. And if you're looking for a great welding supply shop with 0 attitude and awesome service, you found it. - David Carter read more
