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!!!!

The place is an example of a business that can not compete in the 21st century. Yea, I am sure they…read moredo good locally where they can charge an arm and a leg, but where any maintenance manager can submit a rough sketch online and have parts next day delivered this place is ticking on how much longer they can last. The long story short is I needed two pieces of steel cut to finish a project. They quoted me $65 dollars a piece, so $130 bucks, wow, expensive for 50 cents worth of steel. I might pay this if I had to have them tomorrow, but that wasn't the tomorrow price. That was the we can get it to you in maybe two weeks price. I also get it that they quoted laser cut, they didn't ask me but I've got loose tolerances on this project and I could have it cut on a sheer. Fine, still 130 bucks. Of course I didn't only get one quote, that would be crazy. I got quotes from two other places. One local where the total came to $65, so half the price. And an online place out of Texas who's total came out to be $28 dollars including shipping for the same laser cut steel! I can't make this stuff up. I paid one fifth of the amount they told me it would be just by shopping around. I feel bad not supporting local companies, but geeze... at least be competitive. Maybe twice the price would be doable, but 5 times... I think not.

The entrance is easy to miss on Robin Hood Road across from the Diamond (I've never seen the Boulevard entrance open as the gates are always closed). There are several recycling receptacles but they tend to fill up pretty quickly; however, I've always been able to squeeze in my weekly pile-up. This is a convenient self-service for apartment dwellers, especially since it's open seven days per week from 7am to dusk. They do close the gate after that time.
