Where to get cast aluminum welded?

I disassembled my tire changer thinking all I'd need to do is change the bearings to fix a wobbling turntable, but found the upper gearbox case cracked at the bearing mounting surface. Any reputable places to get this welded or otherwise repaired instead of just throwing a band clamp around it? A new gearbox guaranteed to fit is $1600 from a reputable parts supplier or I can take my chances with Aliexpress for $500.

Anyone used Vangro? They have the most reviews by far in my area, and 38 out of 39 ratings are 5-star, with a single 1-star rating relating to price. Never even noticed this place living in Mississauga almost my entire life and driving past it often.

Won’t be cheap. But they are VERY good
