This is the only place to go for trailer repairs, Meyers snow plow repairs, and welding. I had them install our last salt spreader and they did an amazing job. We love this place. CP Property Management endorses this buisness.

Better make an appointment if you have a trailer that needs servicing. They install trailer hitches and bicycle racks and other attachments for hitches. It seems to be family run with friendly helpful people who are experts with any kind of problem affecting trailers.

The lady running the front desk is so fun to talk to. This is the second car we have taken to Friess Welding to have hitches installed. Both times everything went great. They take your car in within 2 weeks, install it the same day you take it in, and then pick it up the same day. Like clockwork! Very pleased. Thank you Friess

Best in the area. Had the frame on my truck welded by them and take my plows and trailers to them for service. Can’t ask for a better experience.

I was in a big jam a few months ago. I needed a trailer hitch installed on my vehicle on a Friday afternoon. I called several places and Friess was the only one that could make it happen. They were so nice and accommodating. They did an awesome job and I could not be more satisfied. I highly recommend this business!

Thank you Fred and team for going above and beyond to help two full time RVers. We had a receiver break from the frame of our 40' motorhome towing and they were able to work us in so we could be on our way. The staff was helpful and friendly, turning our extremely stressful situation into a more manageable experience. Definitely look these guys up for any help with your custom welding and fabrication if you are in or around Akron, OH. We are so grateful for the whole team's expertise and professionalism. Thank you!

Let's start with I would rate them higher than 5 if I could. Needed a repair or replacement for a fifth wheel hitch head. They had exactly what I needed to get back on the road the Friday before the holiday. They know what they sell and appear to have many parts on hand where others don't fix what the sell or have to get parts. For a job well done and a extremely satisfied customer.**********

Amazing is all I can say they took my rusted collapsed falling apart jeep and made it like brand new! You can’t beat their quality and price !

Took care of a short in my wiring....were able to get it in the same day. I have had them install 4 hitches over the last 5 years on various new vehicles.....they are the best 👑.

I just had a hitch put on my van. I can not say enough about this company. First of all, they have everything you need and if they don't have it, they can get it. I needed a special hitch to haul a carrier for my wheelchair. This is literally my freedom to be able to go places alone. Not only did they get my hitch, but they installed my lift that I bought from Harbor Freight. I looked into companies that specialize in installing lifts. It was way too much for me as I was paying out of pocket. Friess did this job for me for less than $700, compared to Durable Medical Equipment companies wanting $4,100 to $6,000 for the same exact job. They even had the tie downs i needed to keep my chair secure. Thank you, Chris, and the rest of the staff who helped me out. You did a great job, and I appreciate you all.

Quality work and great communication! I brought my boat trailer in to get the bearings replaced and some lights fixed. (they appreciated me NOT bringing the boat too) Not only did they get the job done in time for my family to enjoy the boat by the weekend but they saved me $125 by not replacing a wiring harness that I assumed needed to be done. Friess is an honest outfit and I really appreciate businesses with that kind of integrity. Highly recommended!

I cold called from Pittsburgh looking for a semi rare part for flat towing on a Monday. They not only had it, but shipped it to me immediately to get me going on my trip, I had it and installed by Wednesday. If I need any towing parts in the future they will be my first call. Thanks for the keychain!

Recently purchased a new SUV. Had Friess install a hitch. They were very helpful and professional. Explained things very well. They even gave me a ride home, while they did installation. Good people.

Let's face it. Friess is an institution around these parts. Known for quality work at reasonable prices. I had my frame repaired by them and I cannot stress how fast and well they did the job. I highly recommend them to any and all who need this type of work done. Thank you.

I had my son's aluminum Swing arm welded for his dirtbike, I got home to put it on hand had an issue. I took it back and they Corrected it right away and with No charge. That's good customer service, and the price for the work performed was reasonable. I'll definitely return to them for service.

Best welding shop in the Akron/Cleveland area hands down!! They take the extra time to do it right the first time and the welds have perfect beads and look very professional. A very good family owned and operated business, and will continue to support them for years to come. Very highly recommended. Also the staff are friendly.

Needed a frame welded. They told me exactly what needed to be done and they did exactly that. Really good work! Fair price as well. Nice people to deal with and they got me in the schedule really quick. Ill be going back for anything in the future i need done. Highly recommended!

This is a great little welding shop. They have been here forever. There is a lot stock trailer replacement parts and accessories. I broke my trailer axle and Friess had enough stock axles and axle parts to repair the trailer in short order. They also stock trailer brake parts and install anything you need.

I placed my 2004 F150 Super Cab in their hands and they did an outstanding superb welding job on the frame of my truck they put me all back together in one piece and took care of my needs and what I wanted. My frame to my truck was completely rusted out and Fred the welder helped me completely and took care of me. I highly recommend everyone that needs welding and fabrication done to any of your vehicles and I’m hi giving them five stars for service.

Over the years, Friess Welding has installed a number of trailer hitches on my SUV's and trucks. They also welded the frame on my 4 Runner which now has 250,000 miles. Saturday, they welded the exhaust to the muffler of my GX-470 for $30. Prices are always fair and the work is excellent. For any automotive welding or trailer hitches, I always recommend Friess Welding.

I, like many other 2005 Ford Escape owners, had my rear passenger wheel well rust out exposing the inside of my vehicle and damaging the shock. I was told this is a common problem with these cars and was referred to Friess Welding by my regular mechanic. I called them up and before I could explain my problem they said they were well versed in the issue, been doing about one a week, and could certainly handle my car. Couldn't get in for almost three weeks because they were so backed up doing work but it was well worth the wait. They did a fantastic job, clean and professional welds, took extra special care not damage the factory sub-woofer over the rear passenger well, replaced all the parts even better than factory. Price was fair for the amount of work (had the car for a weekend) and quality -- again, outstanding job. Would highly recommend them to anyone needing repairs of such nature.
