Default Looking for help welding bracket

Anyone in Arizona with a welder? I went wheeling and busted a bracket. I brought it to a guy to replace it, which he did, then it broke off while I was driving. I do not have a welder or grinder. If you're willing to help, I'll pay you for your time if you'd like

Got pics of this fiasco?

Also, did you take it to a shop, or just some dude?

I brought it to my buddy who just opened a shop, so t wasn’t anything professional. His measurements were “eh, good enough” and his welding was awful, he welded mostly on the bracket which is why it broke. I can get pictures later.

There is so much fail in that statement, lol...

If he just opened a shop, and does work like that, he won't be open long. Did you pay him for the job? If so, then it better damn well be a professional job, if not, get your money back. Failed welds like that can kill someone. What bracket broke?

I didn’t pay him, but I did most of the labor cutting the old bracket off. It’s a lower control arm bracket.
