i need a good shop to go to... BIG problem

Ok.... to make a long story short. I replaced my control arm (front driver side) and there are 2 bolts that connect it to the chassy. one went in but the other was cross threaded. but i had to drive on just one for a little while untill i got a tap. i had to chase someone and hit a bit pot hole. that bolt busted the welds loss inside the chasy where it screws into. i need a shop or someone that can fix this. i dont have a place to do it. hope this makes sense. can anyone help??? please....

any body shop should be able to fix that. Its pretty common.

I think your trying to say the nutsert in the frame broke loose and fell inside the frame rail section since the bolt was not it???
