What Type of Welding is Used on Cars?
A lot of clients reach out to us wondering exactly what type of welding process is used to treat vehicles. After all, you’ll want to make sure that your vehicle is being looked after in the best possible manner. The two most common welding methods that are used for vehicles include resistance metal inert gas (MIG) welding, tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding, and plasma arc welding (PAW). At Trickett Welding, we take advantage of all three of these welding types to ensure that clients get the best possible results.
Generally, MIG welding is considered to be the fastest and most effective method of welding for autobody work. The method involves the use of a shielding gas and filler material in a wire that is fed directly through the welder. As well as being a quick method of welding, MIG is also a much easier type of welding for people to learn, which is why our staff are able to use the technique professionally. Of course, the type of welding approach that we choose will depend on the work that needs to be done.
We make all of our clients fully aware of our welding options so that they end up with one that is suitable for their vehicle.
How Long Does Welding Take on a Car?
We understand that our clients will want to have their vehicles back on the road as quickly as possible, so it’s understandable that you’d want to know how long welding takes. Unfortunately, there is no set time in which all welding work can be completed, at least if it’s to be done correctly. One of the main factors that determine how long welding work will take is the type of welding that’s being completed. Our staff will tell you what welding approach we’re taking so that you have an idea of how much time we need.
Another major factor that significantly affects how long welding work will take is the extent of the damage done to the vehicle. The average time that it takes to complete welding repairs on a vehicle that has sustained minor damage is 1-2 hours. However, if your car has taken on more significant damage, it will take us much longer to have it repaired correctly. Ultimately, it’s our goal to restore your vehicle to the best possible condition, no matter how long the job takes.
Our staff will always be happy to provide you with a time estimate for our work after the initial consultation.
How Much Does Welding on a Car Cost?
Many vehicle owners reach out to us wondering how much our welding services cost. As with the majority of our work, the overall cost of our welding will depend on how much work needs to be done and how much of your car needs to be covered. The difference in cost will greatly depend on the extent of the damage done to your vehicle and how much welding our staff need to complete. Rest assured; you will be consulted with thoroughly as we ensure that your welding needs are clearly outlined.
The cost of welding services in the UK will differ from garage to garage, but generally, a small job will cost around £125. Typically, a small job consists of a small hole in the car, a patch, or a minor rust weld repair. However, if you are in need of welding work because of a more serious issue, such as damage to your chassis that now needs to be repaired, you will be looking at closer to £1000. These more complex jobs require time and skill if they are to be completed correctly, which is why they cost more.
Our staff will always ensure that you’re charged a fair price for the welding work that we complete.

Can Welding on a Car Cause Damage?
Another question that we’re frequently asked by clients is whether or not welding can cause damage to a vehicle. In short, the answer is yes. If welding work is not carried out correctly by a team of thoroughly trained professionals, your vehicle can be damaged. The process involves putting electricity through the metal of the vehicle, which can fry the electronics of the car if you’re not careful.
Fortunately, the team at Trickett Welding has plenty of skill and experience when it comes to carrying out welding on cars. We will take the safest approach possible with your vehicle to ensure that you end up with high-quality results that lead to no damage being done to your car. It’s vital to us that every car that leaves our garage does so in a better condition than when it arrived. The skill of our staff means that we always complete welding work without damaging client vehicles.
