Default welding in Michigan, need help ASAP

I didn't know where else to put this so I figured I would put it here. If I was wrong then please move it or whatever.

I'm looking for a welding shop or individual near Detroit. Yesterday my girl friend was backing up in her Jimmy and we heard this pop. So we went home and I jacked the car up and took a look. I found that the passenger side sway bar mount had broke off from the lower arm. It looks like it can just be welded back into place but I don't have a welder. I was wondering if anyone hear is from the Detroit area and knows of a wleding shop I might be able to call or maybe if you have a welder and live in the area if you could help me out I would be happy to pay for the service. So if you have any suggestions please let me know. My hope is to just remove the sway bar from the car to allow easy access to the mount and take the car somewhere and have them weld the bracket back on without having to remove the lower arm from the car since that would be a total pain. Or maybe even see if a shop in the area has a portable service where they could come to my place and weld it on the car there. I would like to get this fixed ASAP so any help anyone can provide will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Also, do you think welding it will be strong enough?

there are many places on gratiot that can weld. Go to Slim's Hot Rod on 10 mile and gratiot, they do very very nice tig welding. You can also go to Autowerks motorsports. They do pretty decent tig welding. PM slammed_gsr . He just found out many places that welds

great thanks.

I've been going to Slim's for my alignments for the past couple of years and they are great, I just didn't know they did welding. I've never dealt with Autowerks, I work only a couple miles from them though. I'll pm slammed_gsr though.

thanks again.

I took the sway bar off last night and saw that the bracket is welded to the lower arm from the factory anyway. So know I just need to find a shop that can weld it while the lower arm is still on the car.

Any other suggestions are welcome and greatly appreciated.
