Anyone know of an Aluminum welder on the north coast (near Cabarete ideally)? Have a couple tricky parts I need to get repaired. There used to be someone in Tehatek who could do it, but I'm told he's no longer there.

Thanks in advance

Cabarete
Not exactly near Cabarete, but there's a German mechanic in Los Castillos that can weld aluminum. It's been a while but, last time I looked, I couldn't find one in Cabarete.

I am not surprised. AL (vs FE)welders are a rare breed. Almost anyone who ever bought a 2,000 pesos welding transformer thinks they can weld with it. And that puts them in the FE welder camp of "Yeah, I cand do that"...

AL is not easy to weld, or to make it look like you know how, very few have the skill:

No, I don't, but everybody knows where he is. Just start going up that street to Los Castillos and start asking. That's what I did. I had no idea exactly where he was. Just say: "Estoy biscando el mecánico Alemán"(or gringo). It's not far off the highway.

I just looked on Google Maps. Taller Klaus looks to be in the right place. The number is; 809-543-0117. You could also try Mello, a mechanic in Cabarete. He doesn't weld aluminium, but I think he knows a place in Sabaneta that does(?) 809-222-5694(Whats App).

The German in Los Castillos died a couple of years ago. There is another German in La Mulatta who does aluminum. Go up to the first intersection, where New Life church is, and turn left. About a block in, the street curves to the right and the German's gate is on the right. Gate is usually part way open. It is a home and workshop. Good luck!

I would trust any German doing any type of job including welding aluminum Germans take a lot of pride in their work
