Pretty bummed. Let me just run through the timeline and you can tell me how this experience could have been improved: - I drop off a bicycle steerer tube to have an extension welded on with specific instructions/measurements on a Wednesday. Tammy tells me it can possibly be done in 2 days, Friday. - I call Friday, no luck - no problem. - I call the following Monday and Tammy answers with "Jeff hasn't looked at it yet, but I have him check it out shortly". - I get a call Wednesday saying that Jeff can in fact do the job, but will need to order a piece that can take 1-2 days. - I get a quote for the job on that next Friday - $120, sounds good. I was told it can be done right away. - 3 days go by, no contact. I reach out to see what's going on. Response: "he hasn't gotten to it yet". - It has now been 3 weeks since I dropped this piece off and I just picked it up - completely unusable. I was offered $20 off as a consolation - basically a F*** You. Not only have I wasted 3 weeks and $120, but I now have to go buy a whole new fork because this one is ruined... awesome. Not sure if my job just wasn't important enough, too small or if this is pure incompetence, but either way I will never use this place again and I encourage you to shop around before you decide to spend your money here.

Southern Cali Custom Metal Fabrication, located at 3141 Fairmount Ave., San Diego, CA, delivers…read moreexceptional craftsmanship. Their work is clean, solid, and exactly what you expect from top-quality custom metal fabrication. While other companies may offer similar services, I can't confirm that. What I can say with confidence is that you won't find two nicer people to work with than the Delgado brothers, Franco and Neil. Working with them feels like the attentive service you'd get at a high-end department store--without any sales pressure or attitude. If you're not choosing Southern Cali Custom Metal Fabrication, you're missing out. I assume one can have metal work done in countless places, but if you're not working with these guys, you won't be working with the best value, quality, and attention to detail in town! Robert A.

Neil came through and worked closely with us to design two custom balusters that not only match the renovations in our home perfectly but are also up to code and 100% toddler-proof. The quality is outstanding--the welds are flawless, and the final product looks incredible. We absolutely love it and now have peace of mind. Highly recommend this company for any and all metal fabrication projects--they do phenomenal work!

First off have been coming here for about 6 years with decent customer service…read more Came in to purchase 6 gauge standard expanded steel a few days ago. Was told over the phone that they were sold in 4x4 sheets. Got to the store and they said they could only sell it in full sheets of 4x8 (not a big deal). Ended up paying to have the 4x8 sheet cut. Got it home and realized the ends were even and the center was off by 1.75" (not even close to being straight), it was dome shaped. So 4" were wasted and I had to make two additional cuts to get it straight. Then brought it to my fabricator and it turns out it isn't even what I had ordered. It's flattened, not standard like what I ordered and confirmed (didn't know there was a difference). Came back to get the correct stuff and they said there was nothing they could do about my previous order because they had cut it. $180 down the drain for a piece that was not what I ordered and not cut straight. Not even a partial refund or anything on the next correct sheet. Had a good relationship with a few of the employees but this is the last time I do business here. UPDATE: Spoke with Shelby who provided great customer service unlike the female I had previously dealt with. Ultimately, a refund was issued and the mistake was corrected. Very disappointed that it took a bad review for them to finally correct their mistake, but am happy with the outcome.
