Gutierrez Machine Shop

Gutierrez Machine Shop runs a welding operation from Laredo, Texas where they focus on metal repairs for trucks, trailers, and custom builds. The shop sits at 201 West Ryan St. and takes calls at (956) 235-5231 when drivers or homeowners need steel work handled on short notice. Laredo sees heavy highway traffic and border runs, so welders here often deal with parts that crack or bend under load. They keep the focus on fixing what breaks rather than selling extras or stretching out the timeline for any job that comes through the door.

Their crew steps in on trailer repairs when leaf springs fail and leave travelers stranded, with Junior and the rest of the team clearing their schedule to get the rig roadworthy again. They tackled a semi truck sleeper cross member by starting at eight in the morning, letting the owner supply materials, and matching the welds to the exact request so everything lined up. Rim fixes come back clean in roughly two hours, and Mr. Gutierrez has built drum smokers that turn out solid for the price without any fancy extras. These jobs show they handle both quick patches on the road and one-off fabrications that owners want done their way.

Customers keep noting the fast response when time matters, the strength of the welds that hold up under use, and the straightforward pricing that avoids surprises. The staff stays easy to work with through the whole process, whether the job is a roadside trailer fix or a smoker build from scratch. That steady approach to getting metal work finished right shows up across the feedback. DIRT Score 3.56 from 13 reviews on Finds.
