What Is Welding Services?
Most auto shops don't have welding equipment, so they replace entire sections when only a small area is cracked or broken. We weld in-house, which means we can often repair your exhaust, a broken bracket, or a cracked frame section at a fraction of the cost of full replacement. We also build custom parts when nothing off-the-shelf fits. See our service page for the types of work we handle.

About Welding Services for Herriman Drivers
Herriman's construction boom generates more road debris per mile than any other community in the southwest valley. Construction aggregate, wire, and concrete rubble are common sources of undercarriage damage. Herriman's newest streets also have pavement transition edges between established and new sections where vehicles drop unexpectedly at highway speed, producing undercarriage impacts that can crack exhaust systems and break brackets.
That's why Herriman drivers bring their welding services work to us. We diagnose the cause before recommending anything, you'll know exactly what needs to happen before any work begins.
Before your visit: Herriman's construction zone pavement transitions are hard on exhaust systems. If your route includes a section where the pavement drops abruptly, common on new development connections, inspect the exhaust undercarriage annually for bracket cracking at that location.

Customer Reviews
What Our Customers Say
Real reviews from Salt Lake Valley drivers
“I have taken my vehicles to many other mechanics before I found this place. They are absolutely the best — they won't give you the run around, they won't expect you to go find a bolt they broke (yes, that happened to me once), they will give you peace of mind. I cannot stress enough how much better Scott's Auto & Clutch Repair is than the competition. Even if you like your mechanic now, give them a try and let them wow you.”
“This was my second time using Scott's. The power steering went out in my truck. Scott got it in that day and had it fixed in a couple of hours. I couldn't recommend this shop more!”
“Scott is a great guy! Honest and to the point. Definitely saved me some money by not taking advantage of something I thought needed done. I will return.”
Frequently Asked Questions: Welding Services Near Herriman
What types of automotive welding do you do?
We weld exhaust systems (pipes, manifold flanges, custom sections), broken brackets and hangers, minor frame repairs where structurally appropriate, and custom fabrication for non-standard situations.
Is welded exhaust as good as a replacement section?
A clean weld repair with proper penetration and a sound surrounding section is structurally equivalent to a new section. The weld itself is typically stronger than the surrounding base metal when done correctly.
Can you weld a cracked exhaust manifold?
Sometimes, depending on where the crack is and the condition of the surrounding material. Some manifold cracks are good weld candidates; others are better addressed with a replacement manifold. We assess before recommending.
When does exhaust welding make more sense than replacement?
When only a specific section has failed and the surrounding pipe is still structurally sound, a weld repair costs significantly less than full section replacement. For older vehicles and imports where replacement sections aren't stocked locally, welding is often the faster and more practical option too.
What frame damage can you weld, and what can't you fix?
Minor frame damage from low-speed impacts or localized corrosion can sometimes be addressed with precision welding when the base metal is still sound. A section corroded through its wall thickness or with compromised structural integrity is not a weld candidate. We won't weld a structural component we can't repair safely, and we'll tell you clearly when that's the case.
Can you fabricate custom exhaust or bracket parts?
Yes. We can fabricate replacement exhaust sections from stock pipe material, build custom hanger brackets, fabricate heat shields, and create mounting solutions for non-standard situations. This is typically fast and less expensive than waiting for a special-order part.
Is there a warranty on the repair?
Yes. Every repair we perform is backed by a 2-year parts and labor warranty. If something we fixed gives you trouble within two years, bring it back and we make it right at no charge.
How does your pricing compare to dealers and chain shops?
Our labor rates and parts pricing are consistently below dealer rates, typically 20–40% less for the same repair. We use quality parts and back every job with a 2-year parts and labor warranty. You get a written estimate before any work starts so there are no surprises.
