Winner Welding & Machine Shop

About the Business

Tucked away in the heart of Winner, South Dakota, Winner Welding & Machine Shop at 435 S County Rd has quietly become a go-to destination for locals who rely on durable craftsmanship, honest service, and real results. It’s not one of those flashy places that bombard you with advertisements—you find it the way all good places are found: through word of mouth and trust built over time.

Ask anyone around the area who’s had a busted plow fixed overnight or needed custom metal fabrication for their farm equipment, and chances are they’ll mention this place. One local farmer shared that after a particularly rough winter storm, his entire hay baler frame was bent beyond what he thought was repairable. He figured it’d be weeks before anyone could even look at it. Instead, the crew at this shop had it reinforced and welded stronger than before, all within 48 hours. That kind of responsiveness isn’t common—and it’s why people keep coming back.

What makes this spot stand out isn’t just the technical skills, but the way they approach every job with a “let’s figure this out” mindset. You don’t get vague answers or upselling. They’ll tell you straight whether it’s worth fixing or not. For small business owners and independent contractors in Winner, that honesty matters.

The location itself is convenient too, easily accessible whether you’re hauling a trailer or coming in with a truck bed full of parts. And despite its modest exterior, the equipment inside tells a different story—precision lathes, high-capacity welders, and everything you’d expect from a serious machine shop that doesn’t cut corners.

Over the past year, locals have left positive reviews on various platforms, praising everything from the shop’s consistency to their fair pricing. One reviewer noted how even small walk-in requests, like a quick weld on a trailer hitch, were handled with just as much care as a large fabrication job.

From a technical perspective, the team here demonstrates a deep understanding of metallurgy, stress tolerances, and machining techniques. You’re not just getting someone with a welding certificate—you’re working with people who live and breathe machinery, many of whom grew up around ranching and understand how critical downtime is when equipment fails.

While there aren’t many flashy signs or gimmicky promotions, that’s kind of the point. This is the type of establishment that builds reputation through results, not marketing. For anyone traveling through Tripp County or living nearby, this shop has become a reliable point_of_interest for quality craftsmanship, mechanical fixes, and metalwork that lasts.

Driving through Winner SD on a Saturday around noon when the fender decided to fall off the dual axle boat trailer. Brad was able to fit me into his busy schedule and stayed past closing to put me back on the road. Thank You James Pulaski
