Default Welding shops that do autos

Looking for reputable shops close to Westminster, MD that do welding on automotive applications, I want to get some true subframe connectors welded on to my car.

You want a set that is completely fabricated and welded in or are you buying them and need them welded in?

I purchased some UMI bolt ins a few months ago and they are great. Stealthy, bolted right in and took all of 30 mins to install. Its a night and day difference.

I'm really not a fan of welding anything on my car, which is the reason I chose bolt in style. And if I change my mind, I'll weld them in.

Just make sure the suspension is loaded when they weld it in.

You are close enough to me if you want to check my setup out.

I was going to buy a set and have them welded in. It was between MWC or UMI.

I haven't seen any sets from MWC but I know the 2 point UMI bolt in and weld in style are exactly the same minus the holes and hardware kit. And its a nice piece.

Sorry I can't help with shop recommendation.

The ones from MWC are true subframe connectors that actually run the connector from subframe to subframe rather than subframe to lca brackets. I know of 2 welding shops near me but neither advertises automotive work :/

I know you can Fran, you were always in the back of my mind, but I figure I should ask around to see if there is anyone closer so I can save gas. I'd feel better about making the trip out to you guys for a bigger install like the torque converter I should be getting mid-summer and the cam after that
