I'm Jon McGlothlin, certified welder repair technician & owner of Mountain States Welder Repair, LLC. If you've had a welder repaired in Grand Junction over the last several years, I was likely the guy who did the job. I was an employee of Western States Welder Repair for five years. Welder repair is unique and challenging work.
It is different because welding machines are engine mechanical systems, electrical generation systems, and electronic computer systems all rolled up in one piece of equipment. Thus they require a diverse knowledge base to repair them. I handle each of these widely differing systems with an understanding of how these systems must interact to make the machine function correctly.

But, since we are a certified repair facility for Lincoln, Miller, ESAB, Hypertherm & all of the Victor welding products; we do have the ability to order in parts and get it right most of the time.

This is the Load Bank machine used to test your welder both to help identify a problem, and to be sure the welder will perform properly before we give it back to you after a repair. We can work on some of the OLD welders that are still working for you. We are finding parts more difficult to find, though, so be sure to call us before bringing in your elder statesman.
