Needed to shave down the threads inside a pin bolt that fits my mini cooper to tow the bike rack…read more I needed a metal shop ASAP! I Googled metal shops by me a called a few in the area. One no longer existed and another didn't answer their phone. M&Q Welding picked up the phone. It was after 5:30pm, so I was happy to hear a human voice. I explained the situation and asked if I could come by over the weekend, It was Thursday night. He said he was leaving on vacation the next morning to take his daughter to Disneyland and wouldn't be in town. He then offered to drive to my house in Chester from Richmond and could be there within an hour!! I agreed and was willing to pay a little extra. Super sweet and friendly guy. I was now able to tow our bikes and hit the Capital Trail that same weekend!! Recommend using Michael for all your metal and welding needs!!!!

From the owner: Quality and safety first, Quality welding with in your budget.read more

Excellent service & workmanship! Called on a Saturday night at 10:00 P.M. with a trailer broken…read moredown on I-288. The owner answered the phone, and offered to come help me get it off the freeway that night. Had the trailer delivered by flat-bed on Sunday, and Hot Fix fabricated and installed a new trailer tongue by Monday afternoon, salvaging the coupler and sleeve and saving money on those. Very fair pricing, quick service, quality workmanship. The new tongue is much stronger than the one that broke, and will outlast the trailer!

Had trailer issues on 6/26/2021. Called Hot Fix and had the answers I wanted to hear in minutes…read more Frick, is an amazing guy with an even better work ethic. He showed up within a timely manner with a very nice setup, that was not cheap at all. He was able to get the trailer fixed on the side of the road without any issues. I highly recommend Hot Fix to anyone that is in need of any welding or fabrication. They are located just north of Richmond and willing to travel to NC and DC. Frick, keep up the great work! The world needs more people like you! Thank you! Zac Triple J Farms and Carriers
