Came by with a cracked swingarm from an aluminum bike. Chris was responsive by email, then I came by as a walk-in an hour before close and they had it fixed in twenty minutes! Nice work, very reasonable pricing.

One word summarizes it for me. RUDE! I'm not sure what was so difficult about what I asked for. Never the less. Took my ask down the road and it was no problem to make an extension for my flatbed. What kind of drawing were you expecting from a consumer? This is not a "creative" fabricator. STAY AWAY! I would have loved to share my opinion face to face but this will have to do. Chris was good to work with but not who I'm guessing is the owner.

I wanted a custom part for my truck, and went to them with an idea and some reference pictures. They were able to work with me and designed and built a fantastic end product that was exactly what I wanted. Great craftsmanship on it and I feel confident the piece will outlast my car. Very skilled and friendly people working there. Pictured: Their finished product in bare steel and the piece finally powder coated and mounted on my truck.

DO NOT PATRONIZE THIS BUSINESS ESPECIALLY IF YOUR ARE A PERSON OF COLOR OR AN ALLY

I was looking for a local welding shop to partner with to reinforce some wooden arms for a lounger in my backyard. I sent a very detailed email to the address listed on the website. I included photographs and the manufacture specifications of the lounger. I received an email asking me to come in and bring the wooden arms. I went to the shop and I was so excited to partner with a local maker. When I met with the gentleman, I was so surprised by his demeanor. The first thing he said to me before he even proposed a solution on how we could reinforce the brackets was “ Well it’s going to be a couple hundred dollars each”. Initially I said OK, so what are we gonna do? He then rudely responded “ well I’m only going to do what you tell me to do”. I explained to him that I was really wanting to lean on his expertise and partner together to see if there was something we could do. He was so reluctant to offer any solutions. He was so rude and unkind that I realized this wasn’t going to work. I said to him, sir this has been a very unpleasant experience and I don’t understand why the first thing you told me was how much the project was going to cost. His response to me was that he doesn’t want to waste his time giving me information if I don’t have the money and can’t afford it. I was absolutely appalled and walked out of the shop. As a Black woman I want to warn potential customers that I was treated this way. I am so disappointed and would like to urge this organization to do better. You should offer great customer service, and share your insight and knowledge and don’t assume what people can, and cannot afford especially people of color. This behavior is a racist micro aggression and incredibly demeaning.

I've had great experiences with C & J. I've taken a couple of vehicle parts to them for modification. The pricing is upfront and fair. The staff is kind and knowledgeable. The work has always been done quickly and exactly as requested. I could not ask for more. I will continue to use them for future work of this kind.

I had a custom ramp built for my truck and C&J did an amazing job. I am VERY happy with the job. Most people, myself included, wouldn't think much about something as simple as a ramp. Pretty simple, right? Well, not really. All about the design. The finished product was perfect, weight, handles, locks, springs, up/down action, etc. Perfect! O' yeah, the job was finished on time at the quoted price.

I reached out to this company after I was given a recommendation from another welder. Initially, Patrick was responsive to my emails. He explained that he could not help with the design which I accepted. After all, it was a simple design. The approximate cost was discussed and we made an appointment to meet. My husband took time off from work, and we traveled 45 minutes to meet with Patrick. We met, talked briefly and he went inside the shop and disappeared. Supposedly, he had received a phone call. We waited for approximately 25 minutes and we never saw Patrick again. We still wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt so we left a draft of the design with measurements. This was a week ago. we never heard from him again. Sorry Patrick, for whatever it is worth, this was very unprofessional.

Addendum
I had originally gave this company a one star because of the aforementioned information. Shortly after I posted the above review i was contacted by Patrick. He was apologetic and needless to say he completed the job earlier than estimated and exactly the way I wanted it.
I loved it!
