The Guy Behind 704 Diesel

Based in Marshville, NC - mobile mechanic and welder with a fully equipped shop where customers bring vehicles, equipment, and parts for fabrication and in-shop repairs that need the right setup to do right.

Matt Harris in the 704 Diesel shop
Founded 2022

Built on Referrals, Backed by Real Work

Matt Harris started 704 Diesel & Welding Services in 2022 with a pretty simple idea - if the machine won't come to the shop, bring the shop to the machine. He's a hands-on guy who'd rather drive to your job site and get things fixed than have you sit around waiting for a tow. And for jobs that need to come to him, his Marshville shop is set up to handle it right.

But he's not just a mobile guy. Matt runs a fully equipped shop out of Marshville where customers bring vehicles, parts, and equipment for more involved work - industrial welding, custom metal fabrication, heavy structural repairs, and anything that needs proper equipment and space to do correctly. Drop off what you've got and he'll handle it in-house. Some jobs are better done in the field. Others are better done in the shop. Matt can do both.

Word got around fast. Most of Matt's work still comes through referrals and word of mouth, which is a good sign that people are happy when he leaves. He's built a reputation across Union County, Mecklenburg County, and into South Carolina for showing up, keeping it straight, and getting the job done right the first time.

One thing Matt noticed early on: clients would sometimes not realize all the things he could actually do. He'd wrap up one job and then get called back weeks later for something he could've knocked out the same day - whether that was a fabrication project back at the shop or a repair he could've done on the spot. That's exactly why this site exists - so you know everything on the table before you call.

More Than Just a Wrench

A lot of diesel mechanics stick to one thing. Matt doesn't. Between mobile service calls and shop work, he covers a wide range of diesel and welding jobs - and that includes custom fabrication and in-shop welding that most people don't realize they can get from one guy.

Diesel Mechanic Work

Engine diagnostics, repairs, and maintenance for diesel trucks and heavy equipment - out in the field or at the shop.

Learn More

Mobile Welding

On-site welding wherever the job takes him - structural repairs, broken frames, busted implements - handled right where the problem is.

Learn More

Heavy Equipment Repair

Excavators, loaders, skid steers, dozers - if it's big, diesel-powered, and broken, Matt knows how to get it moving again.

Learn More

Line Boring

Save money on parts by having worn bores machined back to spec on-site. Cheaper than buying new and faster than shipping it out.

Learn More

Industrial Welding

Shop-based industrial welding for structural repairs, heavy plate work, and jobs that need the right equipment and setup to do correctly. This is where the shop really earns its keep.

Learn More

Metal Fabrication

Custom metal fabrication done in-shop - brackets, mounting plates, guards, frames, cattle equipment, trailer repairs, and one-off builds. If you can describe it, Matt can probably build it.

What Makes 704 Different

There's no shortage of mechanics and welders out there, but finding one who will actually come to you, knows heavy equipment inside and out, and can handle both the mechanical and the metal work on the same visit - that's a shorter list.

Mobile or Drop-Off

Matt comes to your job site when that's the better call. Or bring your equipment, trailer, or parts to the Marshville shop and he'll get it sorted there. Either way works.

One Guy, Many Skills

Diesel mechanic, welder, fabricator, line boring - Matt handles it all. Mobile or in-shop, you get one contact for the whole job instead of juggling multiple contractors.

Straight Talk

You'll get a real answer on what's wrong and what it'll cost. No upselling, no confusion - just honest work at a fair price.

Fast Turnaround

Downtime costs money. Matt understands that - whether it's a field repair or a shop fabrication job, he works to get you back up and running without dragging things out.

Fully Equipped Shop

Matt's Marshville shop is set up for customers who need to drop off a vehicle, piece of equipment, or fabrication project. Custom builds, structural welding, heavy repairs - it's all handled in-house at a proper facility.
