Northern Nevada has counted on us for custom fabrication work for over 50 years. Here's what people say.
They did an amazing job on each project — custom aluminum fabrication, electrical, tires and wheels. All done well. You don't get great service without great leadership behind it.
Washoe Metal saved our vacation. Our RV broke down and they went above and beyond to get us back on the road. The care and effort they put into our repair was remarkable.
These guys saved me countless hours tracking down the right parts. Incredible knowledge, great selection, and they even gave me a wheel and tire for free just to get me home. That's community.
