They have the knowledge and expertise to get any job done. From bent frames to lawn furniture and everything in between. If it's made of metal this is the place to have it fixed or made. They make amazing custom frames for classic vehicles to wild custom vehicles. If it is a low rider to a rock crawler, a semi truck to a show truck this place has your answer.

We took our horse trailer in for a generator addition and they were able to make that look like it was factory built in. … Also installed a goose neck hitch in our truck. Brand New Truck and they did a quality job over and above what we expected.

Questions
What are your hours?
The shop doesn't publish set hours, so call (480) 835-0753 before you come by. For a quick question you can also text or WhatsApp (602) 920-3729.
Do you come to me?
Yes, mobile welding is on offer. Call with what it is and where it is, and James will tell you what can be done on site.
Can you lengthen or shorten my truck's frame?
Yes. Chassis lengthening, shortening and straightening are core work here. Bring the truck in to be measured; every frame is different, so the price comes after a look.
Do you do liftgates and tuck-aways?
Repairs and installation, including tuck-aways like the 5,000 lb unit fitted in May 2025.
Can you do my DOT annual inspection?
DOT annual inspections are on the shop's service list. Call to set a time.
