I have a problem with my truck that's going to require some welding as part of the repair. Two mechanics I've gone to in the past can explain basically what needs to be done but they can't do it and are not sure who can.

One of those two shops caused the problem in the first place but each blames the other and I unfortunately have no way of pinning it on anyone.

Any recommendations on a mechanic who can do a repair that requires some welding/grinding? Might be a matter of just heating and bending metal back in place but I'd like to be sure whoever does it knows what they are doing.

Two shops in BR that have very good reputation in frames/alignment, and surely welding capabilities are Able Springs and Alignment, and AGCO Automotive.

I'd talk to both, and they're fairly close to each other.

If it’s bending and welding, you are probably going to be better off at a body shop than a mechanic.

Go to collision solutions in Florida they do great work.

Able Springs and Alignment

I ended up going with this one because the issue was directly related to alignment, and they did the work. I appreciate the recommendations.
