Anyone know a reliable welder in Houston?

[hamsack]

I recently bought a sportbike and just noticed the frame has a crack in it. I can't really prove whether I did it or if it was that way when I bought it so I'm stuck with it.

Anyway, I want to get it welded up while I search for a new frame. Does anyone know a good welder who knows how to work with aluminum in the houston area?
Thanks

If you find a good welder you won't need a new frame. Just saying............

Thanks.
I have heard that welded frames often break again. So we will. I need to get it fixed so I can ride again, I'll be keeping an eye on it to make sure it doesnt crack again and then just go from there

+1 and saying it'll crack after its welded just means whoever told you that didn't find a good welder to fix it.

Point taken. Hopefully I can just get it welded and then not have to worry about it again. Its not like I plan on stunting the bike or racing or anything.
But still obviously want to feel safe on my bike.

But back to the main question, does anyone know a good welder?
I found this place Motorcycle Frames Wheels Engine Aluminum Welding Repair Houston TX
They said it would be 150-200 to fix the frame. Sound reasonable?

It doesn't sound out of line in price. Your best bet might be a small town type welder that has no idea what the internet is. You might have to find an actual phone book (they still make those right?).

You might try Willems Welding @ 832-245-4466. He can probably do it.
