This is WAY overdue! For the last 3 years, Central Welding, on NE MLK, has been the ONLY place I go to buy my 5-lb CO² tanks. And even though they have the BEST price, what matters most to me is their AMAZING customer service. They always make me feel appreciated, even though I only come in every couple months. I'd give them 10 Stars if could!

The staff was so helpful and knew what we needed. We went with minimal knowledge and the staff were patient with us. We wil do all our business with them.

I liked the place! 5 stars.
Pros: I walked in and was greeted. When I described what I wanted - a curved flap disk - a second salesman jumped in and found the part asap. Next I asked for a Spatter Spray -- they were out. Hey, so are the big-box places and even some vendors on Amazon. But they offered me a choice between waiting for the product by end-of-the-week and provided me with an alternative and demonstrated it. I grabbed the alternative. Finally, I asked to look at carbide burr and they showed me what they got and patiently talked me again through alternative processes.
Cons: Are they the cheapest? I doubt it. But hey this is retail with available knowledgable sales person, unlike what I would expect to find at a big-box store. It is in a location near downtown Portland. Not sure that this is truly a con or simply what you pay for expertise and availability.
I liked my experience and will be back!

I came to this place asking many questions to find out what type of gas I needed to weld and the person who attended me was very kind, he helped me by selling me what I needed

Joe and Simeon, thank you very much for the best customer service. Very friendly helpful guys working there. I'm bringing all my welding needs to you guys now. They have a good variety of everything a welder needs. Couldn't find 7018 3/16 rod but they had it and gave me a deal. Very happy and thanks for being open on Saturday...

After being referred to CWS by ESAB as a warranty and servicing dealer for Victor gas regulator. I contacted Central Welding and was told bring it in and we'll send it in for exchange. So, today comes and not only will they not send it in they won't service Victor products. And they sell Victor products! Why in gods name would you sell products you won't service? Sorry, wait no I'm not you deserve this one star rating!

Absolutely terrible service. No communication, months between emails. Will never use this provider again.

I love this store. I go here for all my welding gear, and every time the workers are so friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. Not to mention the prices are great and they're not some big corporation ruining our lovely city. Supporting family owned business is just the cherry on top of what a great store this is. It’s absolutely worth the trip.
