Ruben's Welding

Ruben's Welding operates their shop right in Odessa, Texas, focusing on welding work for trucks, trailers, and other hauling equipment. The crew deals with rigs that get heavy use on the rough roads and loads typical around West Texas. They maintain a yard where owners can bring equipment in for repairs instead of dealing with larger shops that might take longer. Ruben handles the incoming calls and schedules jobs based on what needs fixing, such as cracked frames or joints that require reinforcement to keep everything moving down the road. Local drivers turn to them when something breaks during a haul and metal work is needed to get back in service.

They handle jobs like welding up car haulers after quick schedule changes, allowing drivers to bring semis straight to the yard instead of waiting. One repair involved a hopper trailer that got fixed on short notice when the owner arrived with the issue and explained what had gone wrong. They also welded a trailer for car hauling on a Sunday afternoon to help people stuck while traveling from out of state. Miscellaneous repairs get completed promptly with straightforward talk about timing and costs. Ruben and the team show up the next day for many calls, knocking out multiple tasks at once in a friendly manner that keeps the equipment running without extra downtime or repeated visits.

Work quality and quick response times stand out across the jobs, whether same day visits or fast fixes that hold up under heavy loads. Customers mention fair prices for the various repairs and consistent updates throughout the process so schedules remain reliable. These points come through in feedback from haulers and drivers who save the contact for future breakdowns. The ratings reflect strong marks for how the work holds and how fast things get done, along with solid notes on cost and keeping everyone informed. DIRT Score 4.33 from 24 reviews on Finds.

“Called Ruben to come out and weld up my car hauler. He wasn’t available until the next day so I made an appointment. Which was perfectly fine. he called a bit later and wanted to stop by the truck stop and look at what needed fixed. instead he got me in the same day. Drove my semi to his yard, backed in he helped us move the vehicle that was impeding the area that needed fixed. He went right to work and got me all fixed up in no time at all.Thanks to Ruben my car hauler is back on the road and working as it should. I will definitely call Ruben again if I I’am in the area and need his services.”

“I will most definitely be calling them from now on. They showed up to get the work knocked out the very next day. Ruben and his team are super friendly and easy to talk to. Got all of my miscellaneous jobs knocked out and at a great price. 10/10 definitely recommend these guys.”

I could see the passion in his eyes. He squeezed me in real quick and did a nice weld on my hopper trailer . Excellent I will recommend him to everyone”

“Reuben went out of his way to save us immediately while we were out of town from Oregon. We needed a trailer welded up to continue to use our trailer for car hauling and he was on top if it on a Sunday mid day! Nice guy and local to Odessa! Will be using again if in town”
