While traveling with our 30 foot travel trailer to Lady Lake, Florida, we discovered our trailer s electric brakes had lost much of their stopping power while parked in our previous campground. We encountered rain during our trip and when we arrived in Lady Lake, we noticed that we had regained a bit more stopping power. After researching local mobile techs, we called Bob s Welding & RV Service. We explained our situation and Bob got on the phone with us. He listened as we described our problem. After ruling out several possible causes, he said he would need to see our trailer. Although they were booked up for at least a week, Bob told us he would squeeze us in if we brought it to their shop first thing Monday morning.As we headed to their facility on Monday, we discovered that our brakes had significantly improved. It had rained for two days so when we got to the shop, Bob and I talked about the possibility of a corroded ground connection being the problem given that the brakes improved after being exposed to dampness. Bob, his son Colton and their assistant John, began tracing wires and indeed found and repaired a corroded wire nut. While under the trailer, the guys quickly discovered we had a broken suspension spring. They said they could fix that for us and rounded up the parts and set about replacing all 4 springs. When they finished, Bob wanted to test/adjust all the brakes and found that several needed adjustment even though we had them inspected and adjusted before we started our trip to Florida. Bob also found one of the brakes very difficult to adjust and asked if he could take it apart to see its condition. I readily agreed and he showed me that the magnet had substantial wear and that several wear indicators were worn away. We decided to have all the brakes replaced. By this time it was 2 P.M. but Bob and Colton said they would get it done for us that day if my wife and I drove to Ocala to pick up the parts. We did so and when we got back 2 hours later, the guys got our new brakes installed in about an hour. Bob also taped the tire rub spots on the trailer underbelly caused by the broken spring.Our brakes & suspension are now working as they should. Bob, Colton and John, as well as Bob s wife Vicky, all went out of their way to tackle our initial problem and then fix the other major issues that we did not know about and they had not expected to deal with. They spent the better part of the day working on our rig. Everyone was courteous and patient as they showed us what they found, answered questions and offered options on what could be done to fix our problems. They remained relaxed and friendly during the entire day even though we knew they were falling behind on their other scheduled work.We can highly recommend them as they are honest, hard working folks who know what they are doing. They went above and beyond to help us be safe on our long trip back home and we believe that the amount they charged us for all the work was very reasonable. We are already planning to come back to this area in 2025 and if we do, we will call ahead to schedule our annual maintenance.

I can not rave enough about Bob s Welding! I purchased a new Grand Cherokee L SUV and needed to have a flat tow base plate installed, plus AirForce One Brake system. I was very concerned because the model car is new and the base plates have just been designed by Blue Ox for my specific trim level (Overland). I m very, very picky about my cars and equipment, and wanted an expert, clean looking install. Bob and his team did a wonderful job, from ordering the correct parts to installing the base plate, and reinstalling the Air Force brake system that was removed from my previous vehicle and handed to Bob in a box of wild wires and parts. Bob told me upfront this would be his first install on the new GC L model, so he may take some extra time to make sure it is installed perfect, which it was. And all at a very reasonable price. I ll never take my RV or cars anywhere else for tow equipment!

Excellent service, communication, and price. Twice while visiting family in Florida, our Winnebago View has needed a repair. First in 2022, the levelers had issues which Bob fixed, and we have had no issues since. Then in 2023, our Coleman air conditioner decided to give up. Bob replaced it with a Houghton unit, and we couldn t be more pleased. Highly recommend this service shop.Service: Air conditioning

Bob's was the only place in the Ocala area a couple of years ago when I found a nut missing from my 5th wheel hitch that would help me out. The hitch had been installed incorreclty by the dealer. They spent several hours fixing something that could have gotten us killed. So this year when I was looking for a new hitch, they were helpful in pointing out options and the plus and minus of different brands. Their service is excellent and their work is quality. On top of that they are just really nice people!! It's a pleasure to find good people that do excellent work and don't rip you off.

We arrived at Holiday RV Village in Leesburg and our roof AC was making a racket. Bob's welding sent their son Colton out after hours to fix it. We couldn't be happier! We highly recommend this business!Service: Air conditioningService: Air conditioning

We had a tow bar set up installed on our 2022 Jeep Sahara and 2022 Class A motorhome. The workmanship was incredible. It appeared to have come from the factory that way. It is refreshing in todays world to find a business that is friendly ,honest and does what they say they will within the time frame promised. I just can't say enough good about Bob and his crew Warning, if you take your RV anywhere else to be worked on you will be sorry.

They seem to be good doing good work on our RV, but they have had it now since late winter, and are being very slow to complete the work and get it back to us. We have no idea what to expect It 2 cost. Can't really recommend until we get our product back I may change my rating at that time based on the condition of the RV.
