I called Stinger welding to fix a bumper on our small RV camper. He said he would come to us in Durango the next afternoon. Sure enough, he showed up on time, made some suggestions and did the work right there in a parking lot. The work looks great and a very reasonable price. We are thankful for the excellent communication and fast response. Highly recommend.
