Other Welding & Fabrication Services

While Schaeffer Auto Body is renowned for high-quality collision repair, our welding expertise doesn’t stop with cars. We provide the same level of precision and durability for a wide range of commercial, industrial, and custom applications. From critical business equipment to unique fabrication projects, our certified team is ready to help.

Expert Welding for Business & Industry

A broken piece of equipment or a failed weld can bring your business to a halt or create a serious safety hazard. Unlike general repair shops, we transfer our I-CAR Gold Class auto body welding principles to every project we undertake. This means we understand the critical importance of structural integrity, proper heat management, and material-specific techniques—whether we’re working with mild steel, high-strength steel, or aluminum. Our technicians don’t just patch a problem; we provide a robust, lasting repair.

We properly prep the surface, select the correct welding method (MIG, TIG) for the application, and ensure the new weld is as strong or stronger than the original. This meticulous approach prevents future failures, extends the life of your valuable equipment, and gets your operations back on track with minimal downtime.

Our Welding & Fabrication Applications

Our welding capabilities are diverse. We provide structural and cosmetic welding for a wide variety of non-automotive items.

Shop Cabinets & Storage Solutions

Your tool chests and shop cabinets are a major investment. When hinges break, drawers fail, or frames crack, it can disrupt your entire workflow. We can reinforce weak points on heavy-duty toolboxes, repair broken joints on metal shelving, and add modifications to your existing storage to make it more durable and functional for your workspace.

Trade Show Equipment & Displays

Your trade show display is the face of your company at an event. When aluminum frames crack or steel connecting points fail, it can be a disaster. We specialize in repairing display trusses, podiums, and custom-built exhibit components, ensuring your setup is stable, secure, and professional for your next show.

Generator Repair & Fabrication

A generator’s frame, mounting brackets, and housing are critical for its stability, safety, and quiet operation. We expertly repair cracked motor mounts, damaged protective cages, and broken muffler brackets. We can also fabricate custom battery boxes or reinforced mounting solutions to keep your generator secure and running reliably.

Other Non-Automotive Welding

If it’s metal and it’s broken, chances are we can fix it. Our team is skilled at finding solutions for a huge range of miscellaneous projects. This includes everything from repairing broken brackets on commercial appliances and fixing cracks in heavy-duty metal furniture to fabricating custom parts for machinery. Bring us your unique challenge, and we’ll find a solution.
