Fix it, then make it stronger
Metal that flexes under load, like a spring hanger or a bucket mount, usually cracks at the edge of an old weld. Welding over the crack puts the same weak spot back. Our repairs go further, so the part holds up to the work it does.
- Repair the breakThe crack and old weld are ground out to clean metal, fitted tight and rewelded through the full thickness of the joint.
- Reinforce itA plate or gusset goes on where it failed. It spreads the load, so the part is far less likely to crack there again.
- Inspect the restI check the rest of the frame or machine and point out anything close to failing before it becomes the next repair.
Neal’s repairs didn’t just “fix” the problem, he strengthened the failure points to reduce the likelihood of another occurrence of failure.

Quoted word for word from my Google listing, as of October 22, 2026. Customers mention fair pricing and punctuality most often.
Our 5th wheel broke a mounting bracket in the suspension and we didn't notice it until we were in a campground. Neal was recommended for the job. Though he was busy, he was able to reschedule some things and come out the next morning. Neal showed up first thing with his truck and was able to weld and reinforce the bracket and get us back on the road. My son is also a welder later took a look at the repair and said that Neal did quality work. Neal provided excellent service and quality work at a fair price. I highly recommend.Read the whole review
Neal was amazing from start to finish. He solved a large problem for us welding our aluminum travel trailer frame. He did it better than I could have ever hoped for, faster than anticipated, and under budget. Do not hesitate to work with him. He is an honest man who will do right by you.
Neal did a fantastic job fabricating and installing a railing on our very steep driveway. It is exactly what we needed to help my husband go up and down the driveway with confidence. Neal came by the day after I first contacted him about the railing for an estimate. He knew exactly what we needed and how to accomplish it. He finished the work on schedule and was very communicative throughout the process. I would highly recommend him for any iron work project you might have.Read the whole review
Great experience with Neal welding stainless railing on charter boats. Reliable, efficient, and solid communication with timing the weather!
We had a broken spring hanger on our RV! Neal came on time, fixed and reinforced the problem, replaced 12 bushings and wet bolts. He’s was very friendly, efficient and fairly priced. We would recommend him to everyone!
My tractor bucket was being torn off the bases (due to my abuse) and Neal welded it back and put in plates to strengthen it. He added some plates where the attachments (brush forks) was damaging the bucket. Seems very much stronger now (already buried the front end in mud and no issues with it holding while I used the bucket to get it out). It wasn't exactly what I had in mind, he came up with a better stronger solution instead. I'm very happy with the repair. Thanks.Read the whole review
I called and left a message for Neal at 10 am on a Wednesday. He called back by 3pm that afternoon. We talked for 30 minutes about the job. He showed up next day, on time, and got to work. He is professional. He knows exactly what he is doing. No guess work, ever. On a different level, Neal is good guy. Took the time to explain what he was going to do. Why he was going to do it a certain way, etc. All top quality work. And pricing, I was expecting to pay a lot more than I did. This is that one time where I can see don't bother calling any other business. He is that good.Read the whole review
Neal is amazing. I needed someone to come out before harvest to equip my forklift with a hitch ball through one of the forks. Not only did he come within an hour, he completed the job in record time. I'm definitely going to continue hiring Neal's Mobile Welding moving forward for my winery. Solidly endorse.
Neal was amazing. He created a custom trailer hitch for my 5th wheel for my ebike rack and it's not going anywhere (actually used it the next day to go camping). I liked that he made sure it was built proper not cheap. Most important he communicated through the process and changed as we needed to. I would recommend him to my family and friends.Read the whole review
I’ve purchased 2 truck skids now from Neal. I’m in Washington state, a few hours drive from him. When we started chatting about building one out, he was awesome in sending a lot of photos of his welding so I felt I was purchasing a quality build. He came through. Communication was great throughout the process, we communicated back and forth with ease with how I wanted it built. After taking delivery of the first and being impressed, I ordered another to be built. Also sent a referral who purchased multiple units. Highly recommend working with Neil. He knows his stuff and produces a quality product.Read the whole review
Neal designed, crafted and installed beautiful handrails for us. We had a tight deadline and he worked overtime to meet our deadline and still charged us his regular rate. He is responsive, respectful and reliable. Highly recommend.
Called with an emergency, he was here within 30 minutes and got the job done better than I expected. Will only use Neal for now on.
Highly recommend Neal's Mobile Welding for trailer repairs. I'm looking forward to trying him for some fabrication in the future. He is clearly very knowledgable and passionate for his craft. Neal is an all around good guy, he communicated well, explained the repair and even inspected my entire trailer frame which was the reassurance that I needed for vintage travel trailer.Read the whole review
Neil has been our go to guy for all our welding needs. He has worked on several of our company vehicles and does an outstanding job. He’s on time, courteous, cleans up after the job is finished, and charges a fair price. His work is something I would definitely recommend to others who are seeking welding services.

Common questions

What does mobile welding cost?
The call-out is $250 anywhere within an hour's drive, and it covers about the first two hours on the job. Longer trips cost more, and the price is agreed before I leave. Custom work gets a free estimate from your photos. Repairs are priced in person, because the right number depends on what the metal looks like up close.
Do you weld aluminum?
Yes. It's the question I hear most, because many welders turn aluminum away. It needs clean metal, filler matched to the alloy and gear set up for it. Last year I built 60 aluminum truck skids, and I've welded aluminum travel trailer frames, boat brackets and guard rail. Bring it to the McMinnville shop, or I'll come to you.
How fast can you get here?
Arrival time depends on your location and the day's schedule. Call, and you'll get a straight answer. I take emergency calls 24 hours a day and move urgent jobs up whenever I can.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Neal's Mobile Welding holds Oregon CCB license #259068, is bonded, and is insured for $2 million in liability. A separate policy covers your equipment up to $100,000 if a weld fails or a fire starts. I passed the AWS D1.1 structural weld test, 1/8 in to unlimited thickness, and the business holds an A+ rating with the BBB. I've run it since 2021.
Do you come out to farms and campgrounds?
Yes. That's what the truck is built for. Past jobs include an arena harrow that couldn't legally go on the road, cattle panels, and a fifth wheel's suspension bracket repaired in a campground so the owners could get back on the road.
Can I bring it to your shop?
Yes, by appointment. The shop is at 2743 NE Bunn Rd, McMinnville, OR 97128, and it's the right place to review plans for a custom project. Please call first. Most days I'm out on a job, so walk-in repairs aren't possible.
