What Customers Say

Real feedback from customers across Pittsboro and the surrounding area.

“I had a great experience with Mr. Oldham, the owner of MFW Solutions. He's super professional and knowledgeable. I brought in part of the rear wing assembly from my Jaguar for some precision welding, and he went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfectly aligned and functioning properly. I'm really happy with the work—everything exceeded my expectations, and the pricing was very fair. I'll definitely be back if I ever need help again.”

Christopher Coronado MunozGoogle review

“We called Wally to retrofit a overly large built in Fridge/freezer frame. He did an outstanding job. He put a lot of time and effort, even doing research in advance to get this job done perfectly. He is very methodical and does excellent work. This job was priced very fairly and we couldn't be more pleased with the end result. In addition, he was a pleasure to work with, so kind, polite and responsive. I would not hesitate to use him again!!”

SallyGoogle review

“As a former small business owner, I know what good customer service and expert work looks like, and Wally at MFW exemplifies both and much more. My 12V DC powered motor drive shaft for my motorhome bedroom slide snapped and needed a wise and experienced engineer's mind and vision to fix it, plus rebuild the gear box that was tweaked in the process. He fabricated some brass bushings, extended the severed drive shaft, incorporated new sheer pins, painted the new welds and gear box assembly, tested and retested it to be sure it met his high standards and expectations, and did it all at a fair price and in a time frame that allows us to get back on the road traveling to serve in our Temples of The Church of Jesus Christ. He's an exceptionally good communicator and kept me aware of his progress and any delays. He's a gem with a beautiful bride and clean, tidy shop!”

“Mr. Oldham is a very skilled and knowledgeable machinist that takes his craft very seriously. We at Newkirk's Barbershop appreciate your services. I definitely recommend MFW Solutions.”

Martin MunnGoogle review

“A neighbor recommended Wally's shop to me when I was struggling to replace the wheels on my daughter's scooter - the hardware was stuck and we didn't have the correct tools. Wally took my project in, small as it was, and had it ready for me even before I finished running my errands! I'm glad to know his shop is there and will definitely call on him for future projects.”

Alexa TerryGoogle review

“I found MFW Solutions after searching for a machinist in my area to handle modifying a small part for my project vehicle, an '86 C10. I am new to the area, having moved from PA to Chapel Hill recently. Wally was very welcoming and knowledgeable, and his shop was organized and well-lit. He did an excellent job on the part and turned it around even faster than he had promised. It's great to feel like I've found my "go-to" for this kind of precision work that is beyond my abilities in my home workshop. I definitely recommend Wally and MFW Solutions!”
