Great prices and excellent staff. My truck broke down out front and they helped me jump start it 3 times while I figured out what was wrong. Would've had a much harder and more expensive day if not for their generosity. Thanks guys!

Report
I am updating my prior review and giving Southern Welders Supply 5 stars. A major part is due to their counter salesperson, Austin. He has been an incredible help in making sure that I had everything I needed for my metal fabrication business. He. started carrying and keeping extra inventory of supplies for my particular equipment. When I needed other items he quickly ordered them and kept me updated. Whenever I found a legitimate better price for an item, he was able to match it. I couldn't find better service, prices as well as a convenient location. Also as I said in my initial review
