I have a 1950 chevy truck, the bracket holding the alternator broke and needed to be repaired.
I started calling welding shops in my area. I explained that this was a small job that needed a weld maybe two inches in length.
Some of the shops I called were mobile welders and they all have a minimum charge ranging from $80 plus. I explained that it was a small job and could I bring the piece to their shop or meet them while they were on a job site. All the shops refused my offer. I understand that a mobile welder has overhead but my job was too small to justified paying $80 plus dollars. I could buy a new bracket for $80.
One of the mobile welding companies recommended Integrity Metal Works, I called and spoke to Bethany and explained my situation. Bethany told me her husband Nick was on a job and would call me around noon. Right on time Nick calls and I explain what I needed, he asked if I would drop it off at his home and that would reduce his overhead and travel time.
I went to their home dropped off my bracket, the next night I returned and picked up my repaired bracket. Cost $30.00!
This company is a family own business and both Nick and Bethany are very nice people.
If you have a job for them big or small please give them a call.
